I don't see how the rule can be 'fixed' so that it doesn't violate the conscience liberty in question. Why couldn't the judge simply say that the rule is unconstitutional? How would that in any way hinder HHS from rewriting it?<br /><br />My real worry is that judges *won't* find the contraceptive mandate unconstitutional. Many states (most? all?) already require insurance companies to cover it. That's wrong too. *Nobody* should have to cover this stuff. Shouldn't a private Catholic employer have the same conscience rights as an institution? Right now, the institutional right is all we have left. How big a leap is it for a court to invert my question, and decide that if a private person of religious conviction is not exempt, why should the church or school he attends be exempt either?William Lusehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15928946919078483848noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3712012.post-43351425084721420672012-07-25T20:09:59.420-04:002012-07-25T20:09:59.420-04:00Too speculative???

If the administra...Too speculative??? Oh, come on!<br /><br />If the administration passes a prima facie unconstitutional rule, they shouldn't be able to get cases delayed and delayed just because maybe they are going to fix it in some unspecified manner. You'd never find a judge doing that if a federal regulatory body issued a rule that would (gasp) restrict a woman's "right" to an abortion, then told the abortion mill it could have a year delay on enforcement and that during that time they would change it somehow.Lydia McGrewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00423567323116960820noreply@blogger.com
