Dec. 2 (UPI) -- The Supreme Court has refused to hear a challenge to the
president's signature health care law from Liberty University, which
attempted to overturn portions of the law's mandate involving
contraception coverage.

In declining to hear the case, Liberty University v. Lew, 13-306, the
court upheld a decision by the federal appeals court to dismiss the lawsuit.

Liberty, a Christian University, hoped to avoid the Affordable Care
Act's requirements that most employers must provide health insurance to
all its employees or face a fine, as well as complaining the requirement
for all insurance plans to include contraceptive coverage was a
violation of its religious freedoms.

Don't get too excited. They ducked this case because they are going to
have to hear the Hobby Lobby case. Hobby Lobby won their case in the
10th circuit. If they don't hear the case, Hobby Lobby wins.
(unlike the one you cited where the Liberty University lost)

The problem for this particular court is, if a corporation has the
rights of a person that can have political views (citizens united),
why can't it have religious views?

Oh, I'm not excited, not with the current makeup of the right-wing court
and morons like Scalia and Thomas still on it.
