Supreme Court To Hear New Obamacare Challenge
The Supreme Court will hear yet another challenge to the Affordable Care Act.
The Washington Times /LandovClick here for reuse options!The Supreme Court announced on Friday that it would take up a challenge from religious non-profit groups — including the Little Sisters of the Poor– to the Affordable Care Act and the requirement that group health plans provide a full range of contraceptive coverage to women at no cost.
It will be the fourth time the Supreme Court has heard a challenge to the signature legislative achievement of the Obama administration, and the second case challenging the contraception mandate. In 2014, the court ruled in favor of closely held for-profit companies like Hobby Lobby that objected to providing certain contraceptives.Arguments are expected to occur during the March sitting.
The groups argue that the contraceptive mandate forces them to either violate their religious beliefs by providing “abortifacients and contraceptives” or pay ruinous fines. They say that a so-called “accommodation” offered by the Obama administration meant to respect their religious objections is not good enough because it still makes them complicit in providing the coverage.

yet viagra and vesectomy’s are covered and no fuss or objection is presented by the phony xtians. This is nothing more then attacks against female sexuality.

In a country that seperates church from state what makes any religious objections even considered?

What do you mean, separates? That’s not what Betty Bowers says.

that’s a horribly forced smile. her face must hurt.

Don’t worry, she’s a trained actor. She didn’t hurt herself.

too bad it didn’t crack.

OMG what a CREATURE

the world has asked that question for a long time.

“I don’t WANNA!”
“Very well. Defense?“

I’ll jostle you awake when Mrs. Clinton has been sorn in.

How many times are these illegal theocratic based whines going to be given any weight.

Until the concept of a “higher power” is relegated to the same dustbin as a flat earth and manifest destiny….
i.e., never,for some.

It will be a lot more if the repubs get the white house and two justices retire. The constitution will be turned into the ten comandments
whatthe46 November 6th, 2015 at 19:41
i’m hoping that 2 will retire while Obama is still in office. that would be SWEEEEEETTTT!
anothertoothpick November 6th, 2015 at 19:48
Yeah me too. But what would happen if Obama’s choices did not get the required senate approval before he left office….I wonder.
whatthe46 November 6th, 2015 at 20:06
if they retire before the years end, it could work. besides, hilliary will just pick up where he left off.
Dwendt44 November 7th, 2015 at 01:03
With the Senate in GOP hands you can bet he won’t get the approval.
Tim Coolio November 6th, 2015 at 20:39
Remember to vote next year Democrats, all hands on deck here, we don’t want the radical right swinging the court to the hard right for the rest of our lives!
whatthe46 November 6th, 2015 at 20:46
i’m sooooo on board.
fahvel November 7th, 2015 at 03:07
and spend the re ainder of his term in secret meetings to decide how to totally derail any of his nominees.
rg9rts November 7th, 2015 at 06:45
Its the senate that will be the problem… I’m sure HRC will make wise choices
Larry Schmitt November 6th, 2015 at 17:19
No one’s forcing the nuns to take birth control. Why is including it for their employees in their health insurance a violation of their religious beliefs? Makes no sense to me.
whatthe46 November 6th, 2015 at 17:20
not a damn thing they complain about makes any sense. at least not to anyone with sense.
Larry Schmitt November 6th, 2015 at 17:38
In a just world, the SC wouldn’t even hear the case.
whatthe46 November 6th, 2015 at 18:45
why on earth do they keep accepting these cases to hear is beyond me. these fk tards need to get over it already. a waste of damn time and money.
Dwendt44 November 7th, 2015 at 01:02
The right wing of the court doesn’t like the ACA and they keep taking cases in the hope that one of them will make legal sense. So far, nada.
Hirightnow November 6th, 2015 at 17:28
They only partly understand the concept of”brother to the butcher”, is all I can surmise……
(Or, to put it more bluntly, they see what they want, without seeing the consequence of what COMES from what they want..)
whatthe46 November 6th, 2015 at 17:33
nicely put.
Hirightnow November 6th, 2015 at 18:09
Nice of you to say.
Dwendt44 November 6th, 2015 at 18:39
As I understand it, all they have to do to exempt themselves is sign a form or write a statement that as to why they shouldn’t be required to cover contraceptives. The problem is they refuse to do even that.

Nothing the religious reichwing makes sense

If we had spent 1/5th the time investigating 9/11 and Irak, georgie and darth would be in gitmo!

imagine if time and energy and money were spent on improving the infrastructure and the potential kindness that the usa might still have. The cost of this drivel could feed many many hungry people.

If a CEO was a Christian Scientist, and didn’t believe in surgery, could he invoke his right to not provide insurance that covers surgery? This concept makes no sense. It doesn’t require anyone to violate their religious beliefs.
