Not Scalia. Sotomayor. WTF.

Jesus Christ, these people are professional victims.

But U.S. District Judge William J. Martnez sided with government officials who said that the Little Sisters were exempt from the contraception mandate and that all they needed to do to avoid hefty IRS fines was fill out and submit a form to the group administering their employee health care plan.

The Little Sisters immediately filed an appeal and are seeking an injunction to block any fines while the appeal is litigated.

The government says they’re exempt, the lower court agrees, but that’s not good enough. How the fuck do they even have the legal standing to bring or continue appealing the case?
