Hmm, wonder if the Obama regime fascists ever thought that Sotomayor might actually have sympathy with other Catholic women?

Religion re-enters ObamaCare debate as Sotomayor delays contraceptive mandate | Fox News
Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor has put religion at the forefront of the ObamaCare debate by offering a reprieve to some Catholic groups who want to opt out of the Affordable Care Act's contraceptive mandate.
Sotomayor issued the order late Tuesday, one day before major parts of the health care law went into effect.
In her order, Sotomayor said the government is temporarily prevented from enforcing contraceptive coverage requirements against the Denver-based Little Sisters of the Poor Home for the Aged and must respond by 10 a.m. Friday.
The White House responded Wednesday, saying the group isnt subject to the requirement because it doesnt apply to self-funded church plans.
The White House said the Justice Department has already made clear the mandate doesnt apply to such organizations and that it defers to the agency on litigation matters.
But [we] remain confident that our final rules strike the balance of providing women with free contraceptive coverage while preventing non-profit religious employers with religious objections to contraceptive coverage from having to contract, arrange, pay, or refer for such coverage, the White House said.
But Sotomayor's decision to delay the contraceptive portion of the law was joined by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, which also issued an emergency stay for Catholic-affiliated groups challenging the contraceptive provision, including the Archdiocese of Washington, D.C., and Catholic University.
If this is no big deal to the Obama regime fascists, then why do they KEEP FIGHTING IT?
