Discussion: Senate Republicans Filibuster Bill To Overturn Hobby Lobby

Symbolic legislation offered in response by Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY), Sen. Kelly Ayotte (R-NH) and Deb Fischer (R-NE) would affirm that a woman can still buy contraception on her own.

Exactly!!!

Anyone knows what is the co-payment on a $35 morning after pill? $15? $25?

You go right ahead, Mitch, old boy. That ought to be worth a couple more points in the polls for Alison Lundergan Grimes.

Republicans don’t just not understand insurance, but economics as a whole. Trickle down, anyone???

I doubt they’ll come around, but let’s hope they’ll come out wishing that they had!

Of course. This is what they do.

Reid should treat this like Boner treats the ACA. Forty votes between now and November.

Can we get him suspended on religious grounds? I’m a member of the Church of Would Libs Please Just Shut His Idiot Mouth and I have an objection to his posting here.

You miss the point. The Republicans are throwing women a bone by not demanding that contraception be removed from the market.

That’s next years agenda. Visit the Kock site for he schedule.

The Senate rules allow for tyranny of the minority. The problem is NOT the members of the Senate, for they would have passed the bill. The problem is with the rules, and until somebody fixes them, nothing will get done. The same is true in the House, where one person, elected as Speaker, actually functions as God, a position of ultimate veto not prescribed in the Constitution.

I don’t have the words to express my contempt and loathing of Republicans. What they want is a Theocracy–that is un-American to the core. Republicans have NO respect for and refuse to support Democracy. They constitute a Thugocracy, and they represent the most reprehensible voters in the land.

And just how shocked am I by this? NOT…

But male employees still get their dick-hardening pills covered, so it’s all good with Libs and his teahadist brethren.

Democrats are a very funny crowd. First they overwhelmingly vote for a law, get it signed by Democrat President Bill Clinton and now that it is placed in action, they are not happy about it. They are like cats! Don’t know what they want but want more of it none the less.

Yeah – say, on the Wednesday following the midterms, when Yertl and Mizz Lindzee are out of a job!

God bless them for once.

Gee, Libs, did that law mention corporations at the time? Didn’t think so. Did SCOTUS fall back on constitutional precedent for this idiocy? Didn’t think so. Are you less clueless and bitter than you seem? Didn’t think so…

I’m a Deacon in that church, and merely having to type stuff like that is infringing on our church’s religious rights!
