The basis of the decision is that corporations have a right to express their religious views, lol. As long as the owners are all in agreement and those views are "sincerely held." OK, I haven't read the decision either, so maybe that last isn't in the majority opinion, but I have heard that it was. Maybe I'm wrong about that, or maybe the person I heard say it was wrong, I don't know. And I am not going to bother finding out, because it isn't worth it. We will really see the ramifications of the ruling as new lawsuits are brought, saying what other things these corporations sincerely believe in that the evil govt is making them do.

There is no way to sugar coat this

It is a violation of one of the most fundamental premises of our founding

It crosses separation of church and state

This court invoked a strictly Christian bias

...and it did so at the expense of a civil right of a single demographic

Women

It is another bullshit decision that these clowns will wear as history will inevitably accord, if not this court, at a minimum several of these Supremes as the most biased, incompetent, assholes to ever don the robes
