White House fights Catholic Church subpoena on birth control

The Obama administration has gone to court to try to block a subpoena from the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of New York seeking White House documents about the government's requirement of insurance coverage for birth control.

The subpoena requesting documents from President Barack Obama and his senior advisers would be burdensome to fulfill, the administration said in a lawsuit filed in U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia.

Citing U.S. Supreme Court precedent, the suit also argues that civil subpoenas of the president's executive office are inappropriate except in extraordinary circumstances.

The lawsuit was filed on Thursday and released on a court website on Friday.

What ever happened to the government period!   ;)

Just one more thing to stick their fingers into something that waste time instead of concentration on the real issues this country faces.  I loathe this crap!

The government is going to win.  There is no doubt about it. The new government does not care what the citizens want.  They are elected and are going to do what they want.  We better get use to or start voting for some different people.
