One of the justices--and, again, since we don't have cameras in the courtroom yet, I will be fighting for that in the future, I could only listen to the audio--but one of the justices, again, tried to belittle Paul Clement's comment that they have a choice. The gentlelady has pointed out accurately that you can pay $2,000 or $36,500; but he was indicating that, when you add up, with all the employees they have, the total cost, they either pay $475 million, or they can drop the insurance, leave the employees in a real dilemma to have to go buy ObamaCare insurance that, other than those four contraceptives that bring about abortion, they provide them far better insurance than what ObamaCare requires. So when he said it is either $475 million or $26 million, she was insisting that you could just pay the $2,000 fine and was virtually in unbelief that it actually amounted to $26 million when you add up all the people they would have to pay for. So that was his position before the Supreme Court: to follow our religious beliefs, we either pay $475 million or we pay $26 million.

Look, 4,155 pages, and that doesn't include the couple of thousand pages of explanation, definition, and all this other stuff. At least with ObamaCare, 2,500 pages, we had time to go through it. I did. I read it, highlighted, made notes…
