Reaction to Wheaton College Joining HHS Suits

Reaction to Wheaton College Joining HHS Suits by MSW.  MGB: They are a bit late, as the Federal District Court for the DC Circuit has already thrown out one of the suits on ripeness grounds (since the final rule is not issued and won't be until 2013).  This lays bear the fact that this suit as nothing to do with the substance of the rule and everything to do with electoral politics in the pro-life coalition.  It shows that the Church is badly advised by lawyers and staff, who should know better, or they are ignoring them.  I suspect the former is the case.  Any staffer who does not have the courage to tell the boss he is wrong, or the knowledge to know when he is on such a basic issue of law, is not worth their pay.
