Ruth Bader Ginsburg joins in live hearing from her hospital bed on 'Obamacare' birth control coverage case

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court seemed concerned Wednesday about the sweep of Trump administration rules that would allow more employers who cite a religious or moral objection to opt out of providing no-cost birth control to women as required by the Affordable Care Act.

Chief Justice John Roberts, a key vote on a court split between conservatives and liberals, suggested that the Trump administration's reliance on a federal religious freedom law to expand the exemption was “too broad.” And Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, who joined the conversation from a Maryland hospital where she was being treated for an infection caused by a gallstone, gave the government's top Supreme Court lawyer, Solicitor General Noel Franciso, what sounded like a lecture. “You have just tossed entirely to the wind what Congress thought was essential, that is that women be provided these .... services with no hassle, no cost to them,” said Ginsburg, who is expected to be in the hospital for a day or two.

“You have just tossed entirely to the wind what Congress thought was essential, that is that women be provided these .... services with no hassle, no cost to them,”

said Ginsburg, who is expected to be in the hospital for the rest of her life.

Just why should these services be provided free?
Why should men have to provide them?

Is this old woman on any medications? If so, why would she be involved in any hearing on important matters?

the whole problem is tying insurance to your job

we make employers more like nannies

why isnt our car insurance and home and auto insurance through our employers too?

uncouple and make employers, employers, not insurance providers

Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, who joined the conversation from a Maryland hospital

And when she is "no longer in the hospital" where will she be joining from?

But there will be idiots when she dies, saying on that thread “if you can’t say something nice about the dead don’t say anything”

and I will definitely be saying things about her and making a few toasts to her death.

Its not like she was for higher taxes. She was for the slaughter of millions and millions of babies.

Roberts is going to f us on this one. He just voted with the rats and allowed Governors to do open ended suspension of the Bill of Rights. Yet this bastard smacked AZ down when they wanted to stop the invasion of their southern borders.
Thanks Bush.

The grim reaper should take her in mid sentence. The evil woman wants the age of consent lowered to 12! Fewer pedophiles to deal with.

The globalist oligarchy owns the dead soul Roberts. He will mouth all sorts of crap, but vote the way he is commanded to vote. He is the worst person on the entire court because he is treacherous.

that is that women be provided these .... services with no hassle, no cost to them,” said Ginsburg,”

This is not about Birth Control pills and this evil witch knows it. It is a backdoor way to force employers to pay for it when women want to kill their babies.
