Senator Roy Blunt was made it clear that he’s was very pleased with Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor’s action on the heaalth care law’s birth control mandate. 

Only hours before it was to take effect, Sotomayor blocked enforcement of a part of the new health care law that forces religion-based organizations to cover forms of contraception in their health care plans. The justice says the government has until Friday morning to respond to her order.

On his facebook page, Blunt wrote, “The Obama Administration’s HHS mandate is an egregious and blatant violation of the religious freedom that Americans have enjoyed for more than 220 years since the ratification of the First Amendment. No American should be forced to surrender their religious freedom or abandon their deeply held religious beliefs. I applaud Justice Sotomayor’s move to block this onerous government overreach, which violates Americans’ constitutional rights”.
