We knew this was coming. Catholic dioceses, colleges sue over Obama mandate - Hooray!

Chi~Cat 2012/05/22 14:00:55
Roman Catholic leaders opened a new front against the Obama administration mandate that employers provide workers birth control coverage, filing federal lawsuits Monday on behalf of dioceses, schools and health care agencies that argued the requirement violates religious freedom.

Among the plaintiffs is the University of Notre Dame, which in February had praised President Barack Obama for pledging to accommodate religious groups and find a way to soften the rule. Notre Dame president, the Rev. John Jenkins, said the school had since decided to sue because "progress has not been encouraging" in talks with administration officials.

The lawsuits have been filed in eight states and the District of Columbia by the Archdioceses of Washington and New York, the Michigan Catholic Conference, Catholic Charities in Illinois, Mississippi, Missouri and Indiana, health care agencies in New York and two dioceses in Texas.

"We have tried negotiation with the administration and legislation with the Congress, and we'll keep at it, but there's still no fix," said New York Cardinal Timothy Dolan, president of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops. "Time is running out, and our valuable ministries and fundamental rights hang in the balance, so we have to resort to the courts now."

May they prevail over the Usurper-in-Office. Only one that IS not a "True" American would force feed ITs socialistic agenda when it is "clear" that the majority of Americans and Employers do NOT want this nor do the the majority of Americans want Oblunder care. That's a fact.

Oh, yes, I know there will be naysayers, zip it or cross your legs. Or, you can just forgo your vice for an hour (and pay the $9.00 for a month's supply), that would be a novelty, wouldn't it? Pay for your own birth control and quit your crying. Truth hurts.

    GOOD FOR THEM ! When are the Socialist Bullies going to quit picking on religion ? The " thought " of anyone standing in their way is just to much for Obama & Company . They Challenge Religion at every turn . They Insult It . They Reduce The Word Of God to a joke , They Are At War With Christianity !
    Muslims are spared , as are Black Liberation Theology ( Rev. Wright ) , Nation of Islam ( Farrakhan ) , Etc. , Etc. ................... The Religions of Hate are spared , while the religion of PEACE is persicuted !

    Yes, and the firm handling this for all the Plaintiffs are doing so pro-bono! Very good news, indeed. For, we know this is much more than religion, this is another abolishment of our Bill of Rights. Thanks for stopping by dubbie! ; )

    This is the best solution to liberal tyranny, fight them by every means available, on every front until they are stopped and eventually removed from any power over free people.
    Of course this should also be done to many on the extreme right.

    Chi-Cat- this gives me a small, small measure of hope in defeat. Kagan wrote the majority opinion that DOES NOT give a child protection from deportation based on length of stay here. If she is willing to buck obie on deportations, maybe, just maybe she will buck him on healthcare, ESPECIALLY with how many nasty things he has sad of the courts lately.

    WASHINGTON (AP) -- The Supreme Court says someone brought to the U.S. as a child by legal immigrant parents can't avoid deportation for criminal activities.
    The high court on Monday unanimously ruled against Carlos Martinez Gutierrez, who wants to keep from being deported as a criminal immigrant.
    Immigrants facing deportation can get an exception if they've been here for at least seven continuous years and have been legally registered as an immigrant for at least five years. The high court, in a decision written by Justice Elena Kagan, agreed with the government position that a person cannot use his parents' qualification under those rules to avoid deportation.
    The high court decision overturns an earlier ruling by the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.

    Problem is likely not going away even with a ' Good ' ruling ..... some of it already active and entrenched and will be difficult to remove.

    Best that could happen is proof on ' Natural Born ' .... all Laws / Exec Orders / Czars / Appointments, etc are Null + Void !

    Obama has overstepped his bounds one time too many, and he stepped on the wrong toes. The church is right to fight this.I support them every step of the way! Sounds a little tacky to say I think God is on their side in this, but I do.

    I am just curious to see where all those illegals and hispanics fall on this issue, they all want the FREE healthcare (cause illegals are exempt from the provisions of payment) so if their church tells them to go against something they want-which side do they fall on.

    Leave it to the right wingers to side with the largest child-molesting cover up orginization that the world has ever seen, just to be on the opposite side of the Obama administration.

    And you folks have the nerve to talk down to liberals about morality.
