Having had his omnipotence chipped away at last week [6], President Obama has - seemingly - been pushed too far by the Supreme Court's decision on contraception and Obamacare this morning [7]: The White House stated...
- SUPREME COURT DECISION ON CONTRACEPTION COVERAGE JEOPARDIZES HEALTH OF WOMEN EMPLOYED BY THESE COMPANIES
- WILL WORK WITH CONGRESS TO MAKE SURE WOMEN AFFECTED BY RULING WILL HAVE SAME ACCESS TO CONTRACEPTION
- WILL CONSIDER WHETHER PRESIDENT CAN ACT ON HIS OWN TO MITIGATE EFFECT OF SUPREME COURT RULING

"We will, of course, respect the Supreme Court ruling,” he added.

Republicans cheered the ruling as a victory for religious freedom.
“The decision affirms that Americans, contrary to what the Obama administration attempted to impose, have a right to live and work in accordance to their conscience and can’t be forced to surrender their religious freedom once they open a business,” Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) said in a statement.
