'3 years of litigation' unneeded had former president acknowledged 1st Amendment!
The Trump administration has resolved a dispute over Obamacare’s abortion mandate that the previous administration refused to address even though U.S. courts ordered it to be fixed.
The U.S. Supreme Court ruled in the Hobby Lobby case that the federal government could not force a for-profit business to subsidize abortion in health-care insurance plans in violation of the owners’ religious beliefs.
Later, the court ruled in the Little Sisters of the Poor case that faith-based nonprofit ministries are exempt.
The Supreme Court, pointed out First Liberty Institute, ordered the cases returned to lower courts where the Obama administration should “seek to accommodate the ministries.”
Instead of responding to the court, the Obama administration, in some cases, ignored the instructions.
And that left Insight for Living Ministries — the international Bible-teaching ministry of Pastor Charles R. Swindoll, the chancellor of Dallas Theological Seminary and founder of Stonebriar Community Church in Frisco, Texas — on the hook.
Likewise for the Christian and Missionary Alliance, a denomination serving half-a-million Americans.
“The Obama administration left office without providing any relief for organizations like IFLM and CMA,” said First Liberty.

WINNING!
“Shortly thereafter, the U.S. Department of Justice settled its cases with IFLM and CMA, ending three years of litigation,” First Liberty said.
I can imagine the garbage Zer0 spewed out about the Constitution in his university classes.
This is what you have when the ideology of the Left, as being transferred to the next generation through our universities, takes over the reins of power. Left with them, you would have Zer0 Constitution.
Now Trump just has to rescind all of the “exemptions” that Obama granted his friends.....
Islam is just as adamant about abortion as Christianity.
Why are there no cases involving Islamic charities or businesses?...................
