Of course it doesn’t go far enough! But it opens the door. Now time to strike down laws forcing companies to serve deviants

11th Circuit grants injunction in EWTN’s HHS Mandate suit

[lee martell]

Not yet far enough to reopen some of the Christian Owned Cake Shops without “celebrating all manner of diversity”, but we’re getting close.

The 11th Circuit granted the injunction because SCOTUS said today in Burwell v. Hobby Lobby that the government failed to prove that the HHS mandate was the least restrictive means of burdening a person's exercise of religion.

So at least one judge believes EWTN is likely to succeed on the merits. They do have a very interesting case because they already qualify for a religious exemption to the HHS mandate. Their issue is that by claiming the exemption, they trigger contraception coverage anyway when their benefits provider is then authorized to provide the coverage itself and seek reimbursement from the gov't.
