ability to implement convictions because they used the corporate forum. something like ford motor company, apple, ibm that doesn t have the same situation were the ownership of the company has really closely-held strong religious beliefs. jon: what, how does this change the debate going forward? i mean for instance, if there are hobby lobby employees who for whatever reason want this kind of coverage, does the obama administration now owe it to them to figure out some kind of a way to pay for this? it may not owe it to them but it is absolutely inevitable. wouldn t surprise me within a couple hours the obama administration said it would fill in this gap in coverage. so for the women employees, it may not have a lot of practical consequence but this is a big social decision, a cultural decision in which the majority of the supreme court is really reinforcing the importance of respecting religious convictions. that will i think play out over the course of decades. couldn t be more true
