‘Thank You Jesus’: Conservative Pundits and Pols Celebrate Hobby Lobby Decision
With the ruling on Burwell v. Hobby Lobby handed down this morning in favor of “closely held” corporations not being compelled to provide contraceptive coverage to employees, the conservative pundit-sphere rejoiced for what they perceive to be a victory for the religious liberty of employers everywhere.
Many liberals reacted negatively, of course, but here’s just a taste of conservative politicians and pundits reveling in the ruling:
Thank you Jesus.

Strong message outside after SCOTUS ruling: Mandate strike down is good for women, especially female business owners, and good for America.

Glad to hear religious freedom is protected in Hobby Lobby case. You can't make exceptions to ACA and not make an exception here.
