Speaker 1 (00:00):
A ten year saga thankfully come to a close. That's
how long the Little Sisters of the Poor Nuns have
been fighting Obamacare's mandate to provide contraception in their health
care plans. It goes against their Catholic faith. So finally,
on Wednesday, the Supreme Court upheld President Trump's executive order
exempting the nuns from Obama's mandate. For one fifty years,

(00:22):
Little Sisters of the Poor Nuns have run homes serving
elderly people in poverty. The Democrats who passed Obamacare refused
to acknowledge that is a religious order. The Little Sisters
could not be forced to provide services that violate their
religious beliefs. Writing the majority opinion, Justice Clarence Thomas said
the Trump administration had the authority to provide exceptions for

(00:45):
religious and conscientious objections. He said the statute in plain
language allowed the administration to make religious and moral exemptions.
Now this decision, it was even close. It was seven
to two. Only the leftist justices Innsbergen Soto Mayor dissented.
They're mad at the Court's zeal to secure religious rights

(01:05):
to the nth degree, but they're really mad at the
first Amendment, which states that Congress cannot make laws that
infringe on religious freedoms. The right thing was done here,
even though it took ten years. It's clear to anybody
who respects the Constitution that Obama never had the power
to impose this mandate in the first place.
