[pknopp]

Narrow ruling. 6-3

Conflicting info on the numbers. Still its a very narrow ruling.

5/4 vote Corporations cannot be forced by the federal government to provide employee contraception.

Court sides with Hobby Lobby: 5-4
Straight down party lines, with Kennedy once more proving himself to be the single most powerful man on this planet.

Well, duh. So many important cases are being decided 5-4 or 6-3 these days.

Hobby Lobby 1, Obamacare 0.

How much did taxpayers pay for this, and is there a blank check to spend as much taxpayer money as it takes?

Initially the live blog said 6-3 but clarified later. Two dissentions werent full dissentions or something or another.

What about the religious freedom of employees that don't have the same beliefs? I'm waiting for the first Fox News story about a Muslim owned business denying something to Christian employees.
