Democrats unveil bill to reverse Supreme Court's Hobby Lobby ruling

13. We can't really speculate what the Justices would have done regarding the constitutional issue.

But I think it is fair to say that there is more reluctance to make a ruling based on the constitution than a statute.

My response about Congress was in response to the claim that separation of powers prevents Congress from changing the statute. In fact, separation of powers prevents the SCOTUS from preventing Congress from doing just that. And fair point about the President, although a veto can be overridden. Ultimately, Congress can pass whatever statutes it wants as long as enough members agree (despite what the President or SCOTUS want, with the exception that the statute cannot be unconstitutional).
