Good grief, Alito is just saying that in order to make the decision more palatable and seem less absurd. It is a ridiculous decision, and it will definitely lead to more lawsuits that will test these supposed limits.

At the end of the day, the idea that a corporation is a "person" must go. We absolutely need a different way of conceptualizing businesses.

No. It's not win win when women can't get the coverage they need because their employer has an imaginary friend who doesn't like that coverage. That's shit- that's what that is. But it's shit we have to live with, for now. But don't wrap the shit up and say it's roses.

The SC decision makes for an opening you can drive a mac truck through for all sorts of crazy creative laws to crush women's rights to birth control.

And the SC planned it this way while saying something else. This is a diabolical SC.

And there are a ton of Pat Robertson judges out there appointed by the pubs to catch the ball and run with it.
