| 0:00.0 | A 10-year saga, thankfully, come to a close. That's how long the little sisters of the poor |
| 0:05.1 | nuns have been fighting Obamacare's mandate to provide contraception in their health care plans |
| 0:11.4 | and goes against their Catholic faith. So finally on Wednesday, the Supreme Court upheld President |
| 0:16.2 | Trump's executive order exempting the nuns from Obamacare's mandate. For 150 years, |
| 0:22.0 | little sisters of the poor nuns have run homes serving elderly people in poverty. |
| 0:26.9 | A Democrat who passed Obamacare refused to acknowledge that as a religious order, |
| 0:31.7 | the little sisters could not be forced to provide services that violate their religious beliefs. |
| 0:37.6 | Writing the majority opinion, Justice Clarence Thomas said that Trump administration had the |
| 0:43.1 | authority to provide exceptions for religious and conscientious objections. He said the statute |
| 0:49.7 | in plain language allowed the administration to make religious and moral exemptions. |
| 0:54.5 | Now, this decision, it wasn't even close, it was seven to two. Only the leftist, |
| 0:59.2 | justice's Ginsburg and so do my orde, dissented. They're mad at the court's zeal to secure religious |
| 1:05.2 | rights to the nth degree, but they're really mad at the First Amendment, which states that |
| 1:10.0 | Congress cannot make laws that infringe on religious freedoms. The right thing was done here, |
| 1:14.8 | even though it took 10 years. It's clear to anybody who respects the Constitution that Obamacare |
| 1:19.9 | never had the power to impose this mandate in the first place. |
