Supreme Court Refuses To Halt Birth Control Mandate


whoa! did the SCOTUS get hit with a Bop Gun?
they grew a conscious at some point, legacy i think plays a big part in the move to "we the people" for at least 5 of them.
The Supreme Court has rejected an appeal to temporarily block the Obama administration’s contraception mandate while the courts work through the case.
In a four-page opinion issued late Wednesday, Justice Sonia Sotomayor declared that the Hobby Lobby and Mardel, two retail outlets suing to block the requirement, do not meet the high standard for emergency injunctive relief.
“Applicants do not satisfy the demanding standard for the extraordinary relief they seek,” wrote Sotomayor, the justice primarily responsible for cases in the Tenth Circuit where it’s pending. She reasoned that the plaintiffs’ right to immediate relief is not “indisputably clear” and that they cannot demonstrate the necessity of an injunction.
Hobby Lobby and Mardel charge that the administration’s rule under the Affordable Care Act that employer health plans cover female contraception — or pay fines starting in 2013 — violates their religious liberty protected by the First Amendment and the Religious Freedom Restoration Act. Dozens of other religious organizations are suing for the same reason.

they need to fire the lawyer that advised that motion, trying to zoom the scotus only works now a days if you have at least one legal leg to hop on.
