January 18th, 2014 Comments off

from Helen Alvare

The Supreme Court will soon hear two religious, for-profit businesses’ challenges to the Mandate. I’ll be filing an amicus (“friend of the court”) brief on behalf of WSFT so we’ll all be represented before the Court!  I’ll share it when I’m finished, but in brief, it argues that the government has never demonstrated the “compelling state interest” that the law requires before it is permitted to burden religion.

November 21st, 2013 Comments off

To recap what many people probably forgot, the infamous HHS mandate was announced in January 2012, a throwdown to faith based institutions and employers requiring them to either violate their consciences or pay a prohibitive penalty. It signaled the government’s disregard for Constitutional and federal law protecting religious freedom rights. And it triggered an almost immediate response of legal challenges to the administrations’ audacious breach of those rights. Read more…
