Well, so in that case, we have some nuns who are trying to help the poor. And the Obamacare mandate says that they have to do something in violation of their religious beliefs. And so We led the way with 20 states to file a brief defending [Little Sisters of the Poor's] right and their religious liberty and their First Amendment right not to issue those contraceptives. We're waiting right now to see what the Supreme Court's going to say. And we're frankly a little nervous because obviously we don't have Scalia and we lost at the previous court. (10:32–10:41)
