The anti-Griswold contingent of the GOP has no problem getting rid of those as well.

Dead serious on this. If Griswold falls, we go back to each state being able to ban any and all birth control, sex toys etc…and it would have a disasterous effect on several other section of law that ruled on an individual right to privacy which is what Griswold established.

Is Griswold also the key towards the police not being allowed to use IR and other special cameras on houses without a warrant for a specific search?

Kyollo v US is the case about using thermal imaging. It seems to trace back via Katz and the defense is based on the 4th Amendment. It appears that the Griswold decision was set via interpretations of the 5th and 9th Amendments, along with the due process clause of the 14th.

So after a whole day of dealing with idiot derp on FB I finally blew my top.

Female RWNJ dipshit tells me:

Regardless of what I feel the right or wrong governmental role or decision should have been, I’m really tired of all the women talking about pregnancy like it’s something that just happens to you. It’s not cancer, or alzheimer’s, you still have a say in whether or not you get pregnant! Pregnancy isn’t dictated by whether or not someone else pays for your contraception. I find crying “second class citizen” because personal accountability isn’t at the top of your priority list far more demoralizing to women’s rights than this decision.

I finally reached the end of my patience. I responded:

What total horseshit, [name]. Exactly how do you expect a woman to have a say in whether or not she gets pregnant IF SHE CAN’T AFFORD BIRTH CONTROL? It’s women like you that ruin it for the rest of us. You’re too blind to see that the whole point here is access to health care that a woman pays for in her premiums that she has DEDUCTED FROM HER PAYCHECK at work. She’s paying for health insurance so she can have access to services including birth control. Why shouldn’t she be able to do it? Why does a woman have to settle for less coverage for the same exact premiums that men pay at work?

It’s such total BS to tell a woman ” Oh, take responsibility!” then turn around and then take away the means for her to take responsibility. WTF. Make up your damned mind. Women can’t be expected to take responsibility for their fertility then be denied the means to do so via the health insurance THEY PAY FOR at work. You assholes can’t have it both ways.

I am finally at the stage where I am refusing to be civil. Fuck these people.

I’ve seen a few posts today mentioning that people recovering from cancer cannot use hormonal birth control. The ruling is fundamentally anti-science and myopically applied.

This comment triggers a thought. I bet there are going to be some very interesting conversations in households all over American the next few days between female and male, female and female and male and male family members. And I expect some surprises are in store for all sides.

Hobby Lobby: Supreme Court Declares Itself to Be High Priest

“…with an increasingly multi-religious America, subsequent claims may not be as beloved to conservatives as this one. May pious Muslims ban immodestly dressed women, or all women for that matter, from their company’s stores? May they refuse to hire women as employees?

Or, as Justice Ginsberg noted, how about corporations owned by people who are religiously barred from blood transfusions (Jehovah’s Witnesses), antidepressants (Scientologists), and vaccinations (Christian Scientists)? On its face, Hobby Lobby says it’s not about those cases. But its logic certainly applies: if I believe that vaccinations are morally wrong, my company should not have to provide coverage for them.”

re: #50 Second Class Citizen

Bravo!

She responded:

You make some valid points, and before the name calling we may have even gotten along and had some views in common. I’m simply saying that If I don’t want to have a baby, my employer choosing not to cover contraception isn’t going to be the SOLE deciding factor. For example, condoms at Planned Parenthood are still free. This may not be an outcome I’m happy with either (shocking right? considering you know me so well), but I certainly don’t consider myself a second class citizen because of it. If you do, that’s your prerogative. I’m going to continue not getting pregnant either way.

My response:

So you’re okay with being forced to double dip into your wallet to pay for health care? That’s stupid. If you’re paying the same premiums as a man you should damn well expect the same level of health care coverage. You shouldn’t be forced to go and pay out of pocket for something that is routine health care and for something YOU’RE ALREADY PAYING FOR. I’m not okay with that. It’s not my employer’s business if I use birth control to manage my PCOS or to prevent pregnancy. They don’t get to decide my health care regimen. That’s up to me and my doctor. So yeah, this decision makes women second class because it says that employers can interfere in their healthcare decisions despite the fact that women are paying the same premiums as men. It’s bullshit.

In a long post, reprinted in the affidavit, Bradbury allegedly claimed ties to the Millers, former Indiana residents who earlier this month killed three people, including two police officers, in Las Vegas before killing themselves. At the end his post, Bradbury wrote: “FREE SPEECH EXERCISE FOOLS.” But above that disclaimer, Bradbury wrote that he ran a local anarchist “cop killing” group that had counted the Millers among its members — until the group discovered the Millers were police informants.

“I can’t keep silent on this conspiracy anymore,” Bradbury allegedly wrote. “I have to reveal some truth. My buddy and comrade Ant has been catching some flack for some of his posts about killing cops. I have to let the truth out. Jerad and Amanda Miller were losers. They were part of out [sic] group, the 765 Anarchists, the town’s cop killing group run by none other than myself, Sam Bradbury. When we discovered that Jerad and Amanda were [confidential informants] and in with the boys in blue, we sent them out to the Bundy Ranch to cause controversy elsewhere because we didn’t need them snitching on our business. I hadn’t heard from him since that event, but some of our comrades gave the command and that’s why Jerad and Amanda miller [sic] killed those cops in Las Vegas.”

No.

Google image search only comes up with that lame blog IsraelMatzav. And some Hebrew blog Aharedim.

IDF isn’t likely to use a typical ambulance in that area. It definitely looks like a Hummer… with the red light on the passenger side fender/hood area. Driver’s window looks a bit shattered. They use paint bombs a lot to block vision.

Apparently, they’re pro-Israel advocates. Nothing wrong with that per se, but not exactly impartial. I’d be equally wary of a pro-Palestinian news source:

Tazpit News Agency founder Amotz Eyal tells of Israelis’ fight for balanced news coverage in Judea and Samaria

Additionally, I still can’t locate a confirmed photo—not from Taztpit or anywhere else but right-wing sites like Arutz Sheva & the Jewish Press (here’s VB’s handy list of Israel-related news sources in case anyone didn’t bookmark it).

He’s not ever going to stop with this dishonest bullshit, of course, because he isn’t trying to be honest, he’s being a snarly little chihuahua for his cult leader, the Mighty Greenwald.

I really think there’s some kind of mental illness going on there. He doesn’t know me at all, has no idea of the history of LGF besides a weird distorted fantasy, but he’s rabidly pushing a truly evil smear because I criticized his dear leader.

I won’t directly engage with these kinds of people any more. There’s no point, and trying to defend against their psychotic attacks is counter-productive. But I think it helps when other people chime in on my behalf, and for that I thank you.

And the same goes for everyone else who fought the lies he’s spreading. Arigato gozaimasu.

Blowhard can’t read.

…I have watched, for the better part of a year, a number of decent human beings including, but not limited to, Pamela Geller, Paul Belien, Diana West, the Baron and Dymphna from the Gates of Vienna blog and many others, being at the receiving end of a vicious smear campaign from Charles Johnson and Little Green Footballs which is unlike anything I have seen in my life. After engaging in an insane witch-hunt on imaginary Fascists, whose ranks seem to grow every month, Mr. Johnson now suddenly chooses to look the other way in silence when very real Fascists use violence to silence their critics in a major Western city. I admit that makes me angry, and I think I have the right to be so.

The time has now come for Mr. Johnson to apologise in public to the numerous people he has smeared since the fall of 2007, starting with the ones I have mentioned above. It’s not their credibility that’s on the line here. It’s his. If he continues to undermine those confronting Islamic infiltration, it will become increasingly difficult for LGF to present itself as an anti-Jihad website at all. At some point, the rapidly shrinking number of people in the northern hemisphere who haven’t been banned from the site yet will be forced to ask themselves whether the website and its owner have simply switched teams and joined the Dark Side…

I think she means the college health department you might go to as a student.

I doubt they were handing out free IUDs.

My first one was free for me (where I was paying a $25 each month for my current choice) because it’s cheaper for the insurance companies.

But that was through my school-brokered insurance, and I was fortunate to go to a relatively liberal private institution where I could pay through the nose for a plan that at least covered most things as long as I used the school’s medical system.

He’s not ever going to stop with this dishonest bullshit, of course, because he isn’t trying to be honest, he’s being a snarly little chihuahua for his cult leader, the Mighty Greenwald.

I really think there’s some kind of mental illness going on there. He doesn’t know me at all, has no idea of the history of LGF besides a weird distorted fantasy, but he’s rabidly pushing a truly evil smear because I criticized his dear leader.

I won’t directly engage with these kinds of people any more. There’s no point, and trying to defend against their psychotic attacks is counter-productive. But I think it helps when other people chime in on my behalf, and for that I thank you.

Breivik, like Geller, Spencer and the rest sided with the xenophobes.

Caring about employees means not dictating what your employees can spend their money on in accordance to your religious beliefs.

Caring about employees would mean things like having insurance coverage that far exceeded the minimum even before the ACA, or paying employees a living wage. I see no evidence of that.

Here’s how the IRS defines “closely held corporation”:

Has more than 50% of the value of its outstanding stock owned (directly or indirectly) by 5 or fewer individuals at any time during the last half of the tax year; and
Is not a personal service corporation.

Basically, “closely held” is a term that covers as much as 90 percent (or more) of all businesses, according to a 2000 study.

But while it covers the vast majority of employers, it doesn’t necessarily cover the vast majority of employees. That’s because publicly traded companies tend to have many more employees than private ones.

Still, according to studies from Columbia University and New York University, closely held corporations employed 52 percent of the American workforce and accounted for slightly more than half — 51 percent — of economic output from the private sector.

I have to believe there is some hope on this issue.

My mom and I frequently stand on opposite sides of the spectrum these days and so I don’t normally talk politics, but she’s displeased with this ruling too and we’ve had a few conversations about it. She thinks that with the right argument some of my more fundamentalist relatives could see reason too.

Granted, I’m not sure she’s willing to do any of the steps necessary to actually make changes on this issue, but it’s at least something to hold onto.

Hobby Lobby has the right to put there money where their mouth is, and they have, by investing in companies that make the very products that they refuse to provide in their insurance. washingtonpost.com and forbes.com

I’m sure that when Hobby Lobby Corp. exercises its religious rights and goes to church on Sunday it will repent and divest themselves of all those holdings.

Hmmm. Your post triggers some skeptic thoughts in me.

Has it been brought up anywhere Hobby Lobby is using religion purely as a way to save money and not for religious purposes at all? The whole thing a ruse?

What you posted shows a disregard for a religious stance in one manner to make money. Are they canny enough to know they can play the religious card, even as proclaimed Christians to save bucks on this decision?

Win. Win. With a bit of black soul deception involved.

I don’t know all the figures involved as to what it costs to take this to the supreme court and how much money can be saved by booting out a section of what they would be helping co-pay for?

They aren’t saving any by denying this particular product from coverage. What they might save, they’ll spend in spades in covering pregnancies that were unwanted by their employees. Pregnancies are more expensive than the birth control they’d deny.

So, it’s not only about the money. It’s about control. It’s about imposing a factually challenged belief on their employees that has nothing to do with religion (but included by the Court under the rubric of religious freedom).

I’m pretty sure the Dr. visit is free too - at least one visit a year (?) is free. It is considered part of the preventative care benefit.

Not that this takes away from VB’s main point - the insurance is a job benefit (and usually the employees pay part of the premium as well), and removing certain kinds of care forces those employees to pay twice. It is just in the name of accuracy - no copays for birth control.

re: #348 Lidane

i don’t care who the Dems nominate in 2016. I’m voting for them, because voting Republican would be stupid and suicidal.

That was my thinking in 2008. I paid little attention to the Obama vs. Clinton in the Democratic primary, since it was a given that I would vote against the (R), and there wan’t much of a difference between the two on policies.

One upside of this is that Obama has been less of a disappointment to me than he has been to people who took his campaigning more seriously.

I actually paid attention to what he said in 2007-2008, so my disappointments with him are when he’s had to go to the right on some things or play nice with the GOP assholes. I didn’t have any illusions when I voted for him either time.

One day, I made my dad a nice lunch of soup an a sandwich. Just as he started eating, one of his friends, whom I couldn’t stand, came by and he, the friend, basically told me to get him some lunch as well.
I’m all thinking, ” This m-f’ker better not smack my behind…” But I obliged him.

For his trouble, he got a sandwich and a bowl of soup with a spoon that I very politely sucked the shit out of.
Years later, when I told my dad what I did, he told me that from the look on my face, he thought I was actually going to spit in his friend’s soda.

6 Movies That Didn’t Realize They Let the Villain Win

Seriously, there are no terrorists flying through windshields; no RPGs going off; no big cathartic explosion to justify the use of the word “bomb” in the movie. All we see is the van kind of tip over, but sustain the abuse like any good, German-made car was built to. But when Marty returns from the past to check on Doc, they have an emotional reunion that completely ignores the fact that there is a dented van full of terrorists right over there.

Hell, even if the van burst into flames and vaporized the gunmen, there’s no way those few guys represented the entirety of their terror cell. This is a group serious enough to sneak into the U.S., obtain military-grade weapons and goddamned weapons-grade plutonium. You know, the stuff that no terrorists and only a few militaries have ever been able to get their hands on. If anything, Back to the Future is a cautionary tale about how disastrously vulnerable small U.S. towns were to terrorism during the Reagan years.

4) A foreign policy that is grounded in reality.

5) An end to the continual demagoguery via Fox News and Hate Radio.

So, the new wingnut fad on Facebook is posting videos of Muslims doing bad things. Assholes.

No, no, you’re scare of them.

What that means, I have no idea.

Looking for Hobby Lobby’s maternity leave policy.

Have a look at their mutual funds and 401k plans. They invest in abortion pill manufacturers.

Sincerely held religious beliefs! my ass.

re: #477 Lidane

If they have no, or a marginal maternity leave policy, it’s another way the owners of Hobby Lobby are conserving their own profits at greater cost to society in general. Privatizing profits, socializing costs.

One would think, given the amount of interest in this topic since their initial lawsuit, that I would be able to turn up a reference relatively quickly.

There are times where silence does imply things.

Just what they are required by law to provide. Unpaid leave.

I’m scared of drunk, stupid people with easy access to guns.
Here in Ohio, we let people carry concealed weapons into bars, at least we did, and I can’t find a source that says that law was overturned.
Don’t really go to bars anymore.

I believe they claim to have been unaware. Just like they were unaware their insurance covered the contraceptives they offered before the ACA

re: #349 Kragar

I’m 20 years late to this party. I dimly recall flipping channels years ago and stumbling across Bob Ross, but for one reason or another, it didn’t hold my attention and I ignored it. I had to Google to find out who the guy in the photo was.

Today I watched an entire Bob Ross ep on China’s version of YouTube (youku.com — they have dozens of his shows there). In 20 minutes, he created mountains, clouds, trees, and a lake. Amazing! Now I want to watch the other episodes. Thanks for the nudge!

My grandfather did watercolor landscapes. My painting skill is zero, but maybe I’ll give the Ross technique a whirl. Oil paints are pretty cheap here in China.

The cubicle farm at Rice-A-Roni was quiet now, after days of pitched battle between the forces of Shinto and Pastafarianism.

re: #340 EPR-radar

My wish list for GOP reform includes at least the following as essentials:

1) No more bigotry. This specifically includes racism, homophobia and misogyny.

2) An end to the anti-science bullshit.

3) An end to the so-con religious bullshit.

4) A foreign policy that is grounded in reality.

5) An end to the continual demagoguery via Fox News and Hate Radio.

6) Honesty about what their economic policies would actually do, as opposed to endless lies about them.

So I guess you won’t be voting for any Republican for the next century or so?
