The Supreme Court is hearing oral arguments today in the Hobby Lobby case, which challenges the employer mandate as a violation of freedom of religion.

One of the geniuses at MSNBC (http://www.truthrevolt.org/news/joy-reid-supreme-court-has-six-catholics-can-they-be-trusted-rule-hobby-lobby) suggests that SCOTUS cannot be trusted to issue an unbiased decision on this case because the majority of the justices are Catholics.

The court that will decide includes six Catholic justices, some of whom have not been shy about asserting their religion. And all of this is taking place as the country becomes more secular. Even as the fervently religious fight even harder than ever to push creationism in taxpayer funded schools, and on science TV shows. And where the question of corporate personhood has gone from whether the railroad has to pay its taxes to whether corporations can be religious people. The question is do you trust this court to make those decisions?

All opinons are biased. All religious people are biased against non-religious people. All non-religious people are biased against the opinions of religious people...and people with hobbies.

I think it is a great laugh. This same maroon, objecting to voter ID, said:

There have been a lot of studies on this, right? There’s a lot of studies that show that you’re literally more likely to be beamed up into a UFO or be struck by lightning than to find in-person voter fraud.

Justices Sonia Sotomayor, Elena Kagan and Ruth Bader Ginsburg dominated much of the questioning at the start of Tuesday’s oral arguments in Sebelius v. Hobby Lobby Stores, Inc., suggesting that at least three of the court’s nine justices are dubious of the company’s claim that corporations can have religious faith and that providing employees with contraceptive coverage is a violation of this supposed religious liberty under the Religious Freedom Restoration Act.

Hobby Lobby already covered 16 of the 20 methods of contraception mandated under the Affordable Care Act, but it didn’t cover Plan B One-Step, Ella (another brand of emergency contraception) and two forms of intrauterine devices.

They already provide contraceptive coverage.
