SCOTUS rules religious groups exempt from Obamacare mandate on contraception

7-2 ruling
quote:
The Supreme Court on Wednesday ruled 7-2 in favor of religious groups on the question of access to oral contraception under the Affordable Care Act, saying they were exempt from the Obamacare health care law provision that guarantees free contraceptive services.
The opinion was written by Justice Clarence Thomas, joined by Chief Justice John Roberts, Samuel Alito, Neil Gorsuch, and Brett Kavanaugh. Elena Kagan filed a concurring opinion in the judgment, in which Stephen Breyer joined. Ruth Bader Ginsburg filed a dissenting opinion, in which Sonia Sotomayor joined.
The Trump administration had challenged whether an organization that raises moral or religious objections to providing contraceptive coverage under the Affordable Care Act could be exempt.

Sotomayor is going to be a given in the vast majority of cases.

I want to say Ginsburg dissented in Hobby Lobby And it makes sense she would keep dissenting, where others might join based on the Hobby Lobby precedent

I'm surprised it was only two, but I haven't read the concurring opinion yet.

Ginsburg is a feminist icon and she would never rule in favor of a group that would "hurt women."

I thought they ruled on this a couple of years ago and the Little Sisters won.

quote:Yeah. I would have predicted Ginsburg to join and Kagen to dissent on this one. Knew the "wise" Latina would dissent. She's a waste of a Justice.
