We at Twitchy have been covering the Little Sisters of the Poor and their trips back and forth to the Supreme Court since 2013 to win an exemption from the Affordable Care Act’s mandate that they provide coverage for contraception and, more importantly, abortifacients, in their employees’ insurance plan.
As we reported Wednesday, the Little Sisters walked away from the Supreme Court Wednesday with a victory. By a vote of 7-2, the Supreme Court upheld expanded exemptions to Obamacare’s birth control mandate for employers with religious or moral objections. Keep in mind that this group of nuns was dragged through the courts by the Obama administration and by extension Vice President Joe Biden, who released a statement Wednesday night saying as president, he would “restore the Obama-Biden policy that existed before the Hobby Lobby ruling.”

Biden would reinstate the Obama administration's so-called "accommodation" for the Little Sisters—the policy the nuns were fighting in court.
Charles Krauthammer called the “accommodation” an “accounting trick” that was “morally meaningless.”https://t.co/o6Y0S0Bpqh

“As disappointing as the Supreme Court’s ruling is, there is a clear path to fixing it: electing a new President who will end Donald Trump’s ceaseless attempts to gut every aspect of the Affordable Care Act,” the statement read.
This does not seem very smart.

How to get the Catholic vote.

He feels the nuns need to pay for abortions

Well, there goes the Catholic vote.

He really doesn't want to win, does he?
— Beau Geste (@BeauGeste11) July 9, 2020
So Trump gets 100% of the christian faith voters. ?

He would rescind a 7-2 decision?

Man with dementia says he would rescind Supreme Court decision. Right.

No, he’d just reimplement that “accommodation” for nonprofit organizations with religious missions, which the late Charles Krauthammer described as an “accounting trick” that was “morally meaningless.”
Well presumably he will issue a new old rule which will then be litigated again. @EdWhelanEPPC is that a fair summary
— Kevin Brown (@KevinKay500bee) July 9, 2020
We’re 100 percent certain he’d drag the nuns back into court.
Nobody hates the Church more than a “Catholic” Democrat
— Sloth?Capital (@SlothCapital) July 9, 2020
And he claims to be a Catholic.
— Brain (@waddatwit) July 9, 2020
A Catholic in name only.

This is the same guy who sat across from me at Catholic Mass last fall. Disgusting.
— Kurt Doten ?? (@kurtdoten) July 9, 2020
So he's betraying his Catholicism AND his Constitution. Wow

For those keeping score…
1. Biden hates cops
2. Biden hates nuns— Cheryl (@cheryleliz) July 9, 2020
Wow.
As I said yesterday: Nuns exercising their religious freedom is, apparently, some great threat to the Republic.
Nuns. A threat.
The Left is despicable, but you know what will happen anyway? Those same nuns will pray for you.
— the kahoona (@thekahoona) July 9, 2020
So beholden to the radical left. They are nuns who have been fighting this for years!!
— Michael Bassali (@MichaelBassali) July 9, 2020
Way to pick on Nuns!

Hey, he learned from the master: Barack Obama.
While the nation is a dumpster fire. Priorities….. I guess?
