That does not mean anything. He could have written the dissent.
I read that Alito was assigned to write the opinions because he had written one less than the others this year, and since this is the closing session, it was simply his turn. Doesn’t mean anything.
The loose cannon is John Roberts
If he rules against the unborn again then I’ll know they got something big on him
Nearly always, when a report says “so and so wrote the opinion,” it means that they wrote the controlling opinion, i.e., the majority opinion.
I DO NOT think Alito WOULD WRITE the dissent!!!!!!
Here we go...
That is correct. I know people are hopeful here, but they are looking way to much into this.
I hope you are right. I kinda have a good feeling it will go our way. If the Supreme Court has any respect whatsoever for private companies and how they handle their business, they will vote for Holly Lobby. It doesn’t even have to be on religious grounds, just personal private business dealings.
“Closely held corporations cannot be required to provide contraception coverage” - Bi8ngo - a WIN !!! every church will incoporate now !!
Honestly, I hate the fact that the core of so many of our individual liberties hangs in the balance based on whatever the collective whim of nine justices in black robes happens to be at a given time. I continue to be very uncomfortable with how the judicial branch wields so much power to transform the entire culture from the bench.
HOBBY WINS!!!! WOOT!!!!!!
5-4 Scary.
But, I’ll take it!
True, but these 9 judges have been right on the money in every decision in 2014.....they are perfect! Last year they were miserable.....I guess it depends on the year.
“Here is more qualification: It does not provide a shield for employers who might cloak illegal discrimination as a religious practice.” - the RAT fix is in ...
FLAHS ALERT:
HOBBY LOBBY WINS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

” ... totally agree .... now can someone tell me how States can Seperate from the National Gov’t again ???
Per FoxNews, via AP, 5 to 4 decision in favor of Hobby Lobby
