Hobby Lobby case: Justices skeptical of White House position
Source: Politico Pro
The Supreme Court expressed skepticism today of the legality of the Obama administration's refusal to accommodate for-profit companies' religious objections to the Obamacare contraceptive requirement.
A majority of the justices seemed particularly doubtful of the administration's claim that for-profit companies have no religious rights under federal law.
The Obama administration says the provision advances a “compelling†government interest in promoting preventive health care and that it does so in the least intrusive way, without unconstitutionally impinging on religious freedom.

It is real simple premise. Sayeth the wannabe lawyer.
If your entity is a Non-Profit, you can "express" your political views;
but you CAN'T impose them on your staff and the public.
A corporation (such as the U.S. Government) - can NOT impose their political beliefs on others.
For profit businesses can't hope to treat the public at large as et al consumers;
but put doctrines contrary to law (and common sense) to enslave workers to owners beliefs.
Ted Nugent would start a gun company tomorrow and compel everyone to own a gun! bloody damn idiot
They started whining and hooting, drawing totally erroneous analogies.

32. Corporations are (by nature) fictitious pseudo entities and can't have a conscience by nature
they are civil machines utilized for specific goals.
Some give out .00001 to charities;
but few (such as that tennis shoe company)
give out - for the sake of giving.
Sayeth the untrained, willfully ignorant twit.
A little more :panic: :panic: then....

Isn't racketeering a criminal matter? I'm not
an expert a gNads on legal matters, but isn't "suing for racketeering" like "suing for murder"? Or is it also a civil matter?

A corporation (such as the U.S. Government)

39. So essentially...
The SC siding with Hobby Lobby on this could lead to businesses declaring themselves as "faith healers" to be exempted from having to provide any health coverage at all?

48. Exactly!
What if the owner believes in circumcisions and wants all male employees to have one?
Wonder if that's a mole, trying to stir the pot?

There are both civil and criminal provisions in the racketeering laws. The fact the dweeb is representing himself is a pretty sound indicator that even the hungriest, least ethical American Trial Lawyers' Association vulture didn't see any percentage in taking it on for him.

One of the Looney liberal justices pointed out that Hobby Lobby could save money by cutting off insurance for all employees and just pay the $2000 fine instead of paying the fine for not offering insurance that covers abortifacients.
Hobby Lobby currently covers most forms of contraceptives. Their complaint comes down to having to provide the so-called morning after pills and the ones that cause abortions. They have no problem with birth control, they don't like being willing contributors to murder.

You owe vultures an apology.
Just remember, don't pet the junk yard dogs, they think they're being fed.
And lawyers never get eaten by sharks, professional courteousy.
When a busload of lawyers go off a cliff, do your celebrating in private so other lawyers don't sue. And it is a good start.

Thundley is correct. That's the point.
