Democratic senators intervened Tuesday in the Supreme Court fight over whether ObamaCare can force the company Hobby Lobby to provide contraceptive coverage to workers, arguing that "secular" businesses should not be exempt from the mandate.
The 19 senators planned to file a brief before the court, which is still weeks away from considering the closely watched case. Sen. Patty Murray, D-Wash., who planned to make her case on the Senate floor, adamantly defended the Obama administration's side.
"What's at stake in this case before the Supreme Court is whether a CEO's personal beliefs can trump a woman's right to access free or low-cost contraception under the Affordable Care Act," she said in prepared remarks.
But Republican senators returned fire, jumping to Hobby Lobby's defense in a brief of their own.

First of all Hobby Lobby does have provisions for birth control. They object only to one measure.
That being said the Constitution clearly states that "Congress shall pass NO law..." Freedom of speech, etc.
Ummm Why does CONGRESS have an exemption?
why are muslims exempt
3:17 I agree. Muslims are exempt because it's against their religion, and that was written into the law and was mandated by Obama himself. So, how can Hobby Lobby be any different?
Our Muslim president is against Christians, in other words Anti-Christ.
hobby lobby shouldn't even have to go through this crap brought on by this faux president and his liberal cohorts in crime. I pray they win.
4:33 - and he is showing his true colors.......
