brianna, is 15 pages written by sonia sotomayor talking about the all-male majority decision tort second time this week having to do with the contraception mandate. she's joined by caig sxn begika ginsburg in this dissent saying with this emergency injunction the government is sowing more confusion and putting undue burden with the costs of bureaucracy. she says the court has no reason to think the administrative scheme it foists on the government today is workable and effective on a national scale. and in fact, brianna, she goes as far as to say what the court did undermines confidence in this institution because it's at odds to some degree with what the court had decided on monday with hobby lobby. in that decision it gave these closely held companies the option to opt out of the mandate but they still would have to sign the waiver. i want to point out quickly, though, it's worth noting that it's unusual for a judge to offer such a strongly worded dissent on an injunction, which is pretty routine. in fact, in january the justices gave the exact same exemption to

and justice zone owe sonia sotomayor writes this piece that draws from her experience that has not gotten beyond race and says, look at me, look at me and people like me before you say that the way to get beyond race is to get beyond race. the way to get beyond race is to talk about it and to acknowledge what it is to be an oud outsider in this country. and this isn't the america we experience. we as women, we as minorities, we as people seeking justice at the hands of the court system, this isn't the america we see. so i think there's a real pushback in the decents that says it may be that you have gotten beyond race. the rest of us are still really struggling. >> so in the hobby lobby case, are they framing corporations possessing more rights as persons than people as individuals? or are they framing to corporations? >> i think you have to understand hobby hobby setting it alongside the other cases. town of greece against galloway, which upheld the recitation of christian prayers at the start of town board meetings in this upstate new york town. and this practice was challenged by two n

so blatant and fast justice society mayor broke with the court's to slam dishonesty quote -- sonia sotomayor the stakes are so high. hobby lobby did start out as a case about contraception. but the court's conservatives made it about corporations. and just as citizens united help rewrite the campaign playbook, businesses and conservative organizations are now lining up to use hobby lobby as a way to avoid following federal laws. the founders told us all men are created equal, but in this business friendly court you're better off being a corporation with corporate personhood and executives can avoid personal liability under corporate personhood for rifts they take in the market and with this new decision under the rights and hobby lobby, executives can basically pick which laws they don't want to follow simply because their company doesn't believe in them. if that sounds messed up, that's because it is. it may be a sweet deal for the 2% of americans who run these kind of companies. but how long can the court put their priorities above everyone else? joining me now in our rapid response panel,

. >> justice stone i can't, sonia sotomayor in her dissent used very strong language about what the majority held. she did. she really made three points. first she said that that the court was retreating from what it said in hobby lobby, the monday decision, in that decision, the majority again said that the accommodation itself achieved all of the government's objectives here as well as provided greater respect for religious liberty and justice kennedy even reemphasized that in a separate opinion. he said that would give confidence in the court. the second thing she said wheaton college had not made out the case for getting an emergency injunction, which is an extraordinary remedy and that one of the requirements is that your legal rights be indies disputably clear and that was didn't case here because the lower courts had yet to rule on the merits of wheaton's claim. and finally, she argued, the court by telling wheaton college all it had to do is submit to the government in writing its objections, not sign the form, the court itself was rewriting federal regulations and it could not do th

appointment of two -- from my perspective, inarguably -- activist judges, whether it was, uh, um -- >> sonia sotomayor? >> sotomayor. >> darn it. rick perry just did not cut it as a presidential candidate. it was just thing after thing after thing. and when the iowa caucuses happened on january 3rd, he came in fifth just ahead of michele bachmann, just behind newt gingrich and all the other guys. this is from the guy who came into the race not that long before as the prohibitive front-runner. on the night of those iowa caucuses, he told reporters basically that he was quitting the race. >> with the voters' decision tonight in iowa, i've decided to return to texas. assess the results of tonight's caucus, determine whether there's a path forward for myself in this race. >> in presidential politics, that is how you quit. you say you're going home to think about whether you are going to quit. that's quitting in presidential politics. then rick perry kind of did it again after basically quitting the night of the iowa caucuses, as you saw right there, he did go home to texas whereupon he then announced he w

christie even endorsed obama's liberal supreme court justice sonia sotomayor. >> you saw how they show christie with obama in new jersey. as you know, many conservatives still haven't forgiven christie for that public embrace of president obama after hurricane sandy which of course was right before election day in 2012. all of this is reflected in our numbers. 33% of republicans in iowa and 31% of republican voters in new hampshire view christie unfavorably. he is by far the most unpopular republican that we tested in either state and it's not even close. the next most unpopular republican that we tested among republicans is ted cruz. now, christie's path to the nomination has always been his crossover appeal, his ability to argue that he can win some democrats and independents. but that's where this ongoing bridge mess in his state has dragged him down with those middle of the road voters. he's actually now eight points under water among independents in iowa. remember iowa is a swing state in presidential elections, barely even among independents in new hampshire who a year ago looked

justice ruth bader ginsburg, stice sonia sotomayor, justice kagan, our three justices stood against theourt's decision in the hobby lobby case. they sit on the highest court in the nation and by no coincidence the three women's dissent is representative of what i heard from the women i talk to in my district. i ask women at home to send me in three words how they feel about the court's decision. this is what they shared with me. jennifer from melrose, sad, disappointing, disturbing. anna from framingham, backwards, scary, hurtful. jeannine, disgusted, wrong, outraged. usan from cambridge, need more ginsbergs. the court's decision to strike down women's access to basic health care is only the latest and systemic efforts to unwind the progress women have made. why aren't we demanding equal pay for women from our employers rather than giving a woman's boss the right to make the most personal health care decisions for her and her family? congress has an obligation to correct this course. the amendment and the protect women's health from corporate interference act makes certain that a woman'
