The shortest and most perfect summation of the Hobby Lobby ruling ever articulated. [View all]

"Conservative business owners don't have to obey laws if they don't feel like it."


It's not hyperbole. It's the literal fact of the ruling.

And since there is no possible basis for such a thing in law or ethics of any kind, it's null and void as a ruling of law.

As such, the Executive branch should continue to enforce the contraception requirement. Let conservatives escalate their judicial coup to impeachment proceedings and see what that gets them, if they're so inclined.
