Time and time again...

I don't really see how this could have been a surprise to anyone. This group has sold out to the idea that corporations should be entitled to every benefit and protection a 'person' has, while requiring almost none of the accountability... again and again...

They're shills but at least they are really consistent shills.

I don't give a damn if corporations can have religions or not. Their religious rights should entitle them to exactly 4/5 of fuck all.

Tell you what, America. If you let Muslim and Jewish business owners ban their employees from eating pork, then you can have this retarded legislation

Saw in the news the Supreme Court upheld the right to restrict cover (5:4), for "closely-held" corporations based on a 1993 law that limited the ability to restrict religious freedoms.

I kind of see the logic of saying that if non-profits corporations can already avoid providing it (which seems to be the case), then for profit corporations should have the same rights. But then I don't see why non-profits should have had the right to deny it either.

Either way though, I agree with John Oliver's bit. Plenty of people would have liked to veto funding for the Iraq war but obviously never had the option. To say that religious objections are specifically excluded is highly arbitrary. No employees who receive a salary should be excluded.

The "closely-held" provision is also highly arbitrary, almost implying that the court doesn't like the law and are trying to limit it's impact. Maybe it was some kind of compromise to get a majority. Either way, I imagine the notion of "closely-held" will be stretched as loosely as possible in practice.

If you don't like the ruling then don't shop there.

Bunch of sore looser.

Its their company.

Said the person who can't even spell loser. Or understand the proper usage of "it's"

I seem to recall awhile back that Muslim cab drivers were told they couldn't refuse a fare at the airport here in Minnesota just because someone had alcohol in their luggage. I'm not sure how that is much different than what Hobby Lobby is trying to do. I can't wait until some company comes along and claims that all medical procedures are against their religious beliefs and therefore are not required to offer any medical insurance at all.

Let's just fire the Supreme Court and put this funnyman in since he is obviously wiser and knows the law so much better, being from....wherever the fuck foreign country he's from.

Also, where does the gov't get off telling companies what they have to offer in the way of medical insurance? Oh...it's the ACA. That makes it legit.

This is awesome. I wanna buy Disney, convert to Islam and force all female employees to wear a Burka. We could've prevented Britney Spears and Lindsay Lohan, you know?
However, if this passes, a lot of corporations will join the Christian Scientists.

your jealousy is unbecoming
