Health Care vs Religious Freedom
The Supreme Court ruled 6-3 on Thursday in
Kennedy v. Braidwood Management. The case challenged the structure of a task force in the Department of Health and Human Services that recommends preventive services insurers would be required to cover without charging patients extra.
As
Liberty Nation News Legal Affairs Editor Scott D. Cosenza, Esq., explained: "Groups with religious objections to covering an HIV prevention medication challenged an HHS rule by attacking the legality of the task force itself." Today, the majority held that the task force was, in fact, constitutional.
Justices Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito, and Neil Gorsuch dissented, contending that the majority erroneously relied on a new theory invented by the government on appeal.
Parsing Out the Power of the Purse
FCC v. Consumer's Research came next, another 6-3 decision. Justice Elena Kagan wrote the majority. Gorsuch dissented, joined by Justices Thomas and Alito.
Did Congress violate the non-delegation doctrine by allowing the FCC to decide for itself how much to tax internet providers? The Court held that, in fact, they did not.
Parents' Rights vs Progressive Indoctrination
In yet another 6-3 ruling, the Supreme Court majority holds in
Mahmoud v. Taylor that parents can opt their children out of instruction using LGBTQ storybooks.
"We have long recognized," Alito, who authored the majority opinion, wrote, "the rights of parents to direct 'the religious upbringing' of their children. And we have held that those rights are violated by government policies that substantially interfere with the religious development of children."
Justices Sonia Sotomayor, Elena Kagan, and Ketanji Brown Jackson dissented.
