ORIGINAL: Phydeaux Sorry, it is *highly* interesting that sotomayer was the one to issue the stay. No. It was not. The appeal is coming from an appellate circuit she is responsible for. Each Supreme court justice is responsible for a specific federal appellate court. Since there are conflicting rulings from different appellate courts SCOTUS was likely to take the case and it is simple fairness to stay the fines while the cases are settled. Sure, if that was all it was, I would might agree with you. However, the justices have the option of requiring the parties to post bond for the penalties plus expenses, plus interest. This she declined to do. The penalties, if applied will wipe out this organization of nuns. Did I read that it was up to $2.15 mil a day? Regardless, the government answer to the request for stay was that the nuns had the ability to self exempt. Ie., the govt's answer "its against our religion" is for them to commit another action which is "against their religion". Sotomayers stay means that the case can go to trial; whearas not staying the decision would cause the sisters to be bankrupted - which is the likely result if the government wins their case anyway. One of the more liberal justices grants a stay without requiring a bond. I find it interesting. Significant.. perhaps. Bullshit. This organization of nuns runs dozens of nursing homes in the US. And the fine is $100 per day per employee. So if the poor put upon nuns have 21,500 employees then they could face $2.15 million in fines per day. Which would sort of prove this is big business not some group of poor nuns struggling to keep the convent open. The total assets of the nuns are reported as $6.9 million. Not a large sum at all for an organization that as you say runs dozens of nursing homes in the US. Reported by who based upon which audit? Most Catholic orders keep their funds in the Vatican bank far beyond the reach of any auditor. LOL. Where did you pull up that piece of complete and utter horseshit? Pretty much believe anything anti-catholic, don't ya? First, virtually *no* catholic orders bank in the vatican bank. Second, every american 501c(3) organization is required to submit audited financials to the IRS to retain status. Additionally, you have limits on overhead allowed, delivery of services etc. Bullshit. Almost all, as in I couldn't find any that don't, Catholic orders deposit their money in the Vatican bank. The requirements of 501(c)3 status are not nearly as restrictive as you believe. As to auditing, all that the charities have to prove is that no profits were generated inside the US. Another lie. As in you don't have access to any groups finances, therefore can't look, therefore you know nothing. I've worked with more than 5 parishes. Worked in more than a dozen parish ministries. Never once made any deposits to any vatican bank. Have used quite a lot of American banks tho. Yeah.. Father, you mind if I just stroll down to the vatican bank and pick up money for payroll. While I'm at it, I'll pay the mortgage and pick up some more deposit slips. Yeah. Sounds real convenient. And regarding the 501c(3) requirements. I worked for a charity for more than 6 years. And participated in the audits every year. Each of them took a team of 4 people over a month to complete. So, pardon when I say that once again, you have no idea what you're talking about.
