a strange report:
Since November, at least eight lawsuits have been filed in federal district courts across the country challenging the constitutionality of the rule, which requires employers, including church-affiliated organizations that object to contraception on religious grounds, to cover birth control in workers health plans with no out-of-pocket charges. (Groups that are exclusively religious, such as churches, are exempt).
<...>
Some Republicans predict the matter will ultimately be decided by the nations highest court. Speaking moments after the Senate voted down his attempt to expand the rules conscience exemption last Thursday, Sen. Roy Blunt (R-Mo.) pointed in the direction of the Supreme Court as he declared: This issue is not over. . . . These faith-based institutions will not be willing to change their character. . . . And so this is a debate that might be settled at that building across the street.
First it misrepresents the November rule, doesn't mention the recently revised rule that has been approved by several of the organizations that opposed the initial rule, and then quotes Blunt from last Thursday.
Republicans are hoping this issue goes away:
