this could have far reaching consequences for obamacare. we re talking, of course, about hobby lobby. the chain craft store launching a religion-based balance to the health care law. joining me right now is pete williams. today not in front of the supreme court. you had a busy week so far. what is at stake here? well, it depend on how far the court goes. what happens is, hobby lobby and a couple of companies have one thing in common. they re owned by faemts. the families have very serious religious views that say that providing contraceptive coverage, as bureaucraobamacare requires, would be the equivalent of abortion. can a for-profit corporation does it have religious views and can it say that its religious views should be able to allow it should excuse it from having to violate the religious

massachusetts. the best we can tell is there are probably a dozen cities that had city ordinances similar to what the state of massachusetts did. so two effects of this ruling, one is to strike down the law in massachusetts and whatever city ordinances were like this. but secondly, to tell states and cities that when they want to control protests at abortion clinics they ll have to find some other means than such a wide restriction. and, pete, i know it s been a very busy week for you already. but we re still waiting on one more major decision, right? tell us about that one. the hobby lobby case. that s the hobby lobby case. the question of whether a for-profit business can claim it has a religious belief that would be violated if it provided some forms of contraceptive coverage that are required by obama care. we now know the last day of the term will be monday. it s a pretty good guess. can t say with 100% certainty because the court can always say we can t decide we re going to

contraceptive coverage would violate. in other words, can a for-profit company say it has religious views? that s the biggie. then the second is a challenge to a massachusetts law that sets up fixed no-protest zones around entrances to abortion clinics. the question is whether that violates free speech. the first one you mentioned is the hobby lobby case. that s the big one everyone is weight for. thanks for me correcting on the number of days left. that is the one people are really waiting on. do you think it s unusual for the court to really push that right to the end, and do you expect that case to be the last or to be at the very end of the calendar? i ve given up long ago betting when the court is going to make its decisions, but no, it s not unusual for the big cases to come at the end because they re very often the hardest ones and the ones where the consequences are very high and a lot of back and forth between the justices as they sort of respond to each other in writing b

copyright fee. but aereo didn t seem to have much best is in that. it s no secret the backers of aereo really had their ultimate sights on how cable tv programs were sold, and they hoped this case would bust that wide open. it appears that s not going to be the case. pete, we ve got a few more big additiodecisions we re expe over the next few days. perhaps the biggest among them is regarding hobby lobby and whether they can be mandated by the federal government to provide birth control coverage for their employees. against what they say is their religious beliefs. if you would, refresh for our audience what the tenor of the oral arguments looks like there and what we should be looking for there going forward. well, the argument here, the real issue here is whether a for-profit company, for-profit corporation can say it has religious views and therefore it shouldn t be forced to provide certain kinds of contraceptive coverage because in a couple of these cases, they re family held c

could have some traction on the campaign trail, depending on which way the decision goes. what s your sense of which way that decision you thought was headed at the time and what else are you watching? reporter: well, we may get that decision this week. it could be early next week, we don t know. but judging from the oral argument, it did seem like the court wanted to find some way to accommodate companies that are held, closely held by a family. the question is given that these are corporations, the justice department says a corporation is intended to be at arm s length from the owners. that s the whole idea of a corporation. does a corporation have religious beliefs and can it assert that in saying that providing contraceptive coverage would violate those religious beliefs. so that s the question for the court. we re also expecting, i think, another issue that will be of interest to your viewers is this question of recess appointments. democrats and republicans have argued about th
