Catholic power

A U.S. district judge in Michigan has -- temporarily -- gotten an outdoor power equipment company out of buying its staff health insurance that covers birth control, because the owner is a Catholic.

(How many women typically work in a place like that, anyway?)

Government lawyers said it would interfere with the implementation of Obamacare. Judge Cleland wrote:

"The harm in delaying the implementation of a statute that may later be deemed constitutional must yield to the risk presented here of substantially infringing the sincere exercise of religious beliefs." 

("May later be deemed constitutional" -- well, that's a ringing endorsement.)

 
Some days, it comes out right.
