Supreme Court Watch
The Obama Administration is asking the USSC to settle a dispute over the contraceptive mandate, focusing on RFRA claims of for profit corporations. Which is weak on several levels. Pope Francis is trying to change the focus of things, without simply not being Catholic. It is silly to use this issue to draw a line in the sand even in Catholic institutions. When applied to for profit corporations, it is inane. Still worry what the USSC will do.

I trust you saw Andy Borowitz's fake headline: "Scalia organizes search committee for new Pope. Justice Thomas, the other member of the committee, had no comment."
Thomas said in Lawrence that he thought sodomy laws were stupid, but he did join Scalia's opinion & Alito's dissent in Windsor. So, I guess Thomas might find the Pope's comments upsetting. Maybe his wife can raise hell at one of her rallies.
