OY! Now The Left Complains The Supreme Court is Too Catholic (And They Hate Women)

Although I am not a Catholic (surprised?) it was not that difficult for this Jew to determine that the rant by Jamie Stiehm in today's US News, was both anti-Catholic and to be quite honest, kind of ridiculous.

 

As you may remember, on New Year's Eve Justice Sotomayor issued a temporary stay of the implementation of Obamacare's contraceptive rules based on an appeal by the Little Sisters of the Poor. Ms. Stiehm uses that single action to determine Justice Sototomayor has abandoned women, put religion in front of the constitution and of course that there are too many Catholics on the U.S. Supreme Court.

 

Et tu, Justice Sonia Sotomayor? Really, we can't trust you on women's health and human rights? The lady from the Bronx just dropped the ball on American women and girls as surely as she did the sparkling ball at midnight on New Year's Eve in Times Square. Or maybe she's just a good Catholic girl.

 

The Supreme Court is now best understood as the Extreme Court. One big reason why is that six out of nine Justices are Catholic. Let's be forthright about that. (The other three are Jewish.) Sotomayor, appointed by President Obama, is a Catholic who put her religion ahead of her jurisprudence. What a surprise, but that is no small thing.

 

In a stay order applying to an appeal by a Colorado nunnery, the Little Sisters of the Poor, Justice Sotomayor undermined the new Affordable Care Act's sensible policy on contraception. She blocked the most simple of rules – lenient rules – that required the Little Sisters to affirm their religious beliefs against making contraception available to its members. They objected to filling out a one-page form. What could be easier than nuns claiming they don't believe in contraception?

First of all if Ms. Stiehm is implying that the court doesn't have enough Jews she will have to fight it out with Pat Buchanan who in 2010 said there are too many Jews on the court. Secondly the nuns objected to the form because it authorized others to purchase he contraceptive part of the insurance---so in the Nuns minds it was just as sinful.
