Hobby Lobby Files Supreme Court Brief

Arts and crafts retailer Hobby Lobby has officially filed their brief with the U.S. Supreme Court in their lawsuit against the Obama administration and the Affordable Care Act.

The brief supports the chain’s position that the government forcing them to provide contraception care that includes the abortion pill is forcing them to violate their religious beliefs and thus is a violation of the Constitution’s protections of religious freedom.

The brief focuses on the company’s original mission statement that clearly lays out the religious foundation behind the company.  It reads that Hobby Lobby will be “honoring the Lord in all we do by operating the company in a manner consistent with Biblical principles.”

The brief calls the mandate from the Obama administration “one of the most straightforward violations…this Court is likely to see of a 1993 law preserving the exercise of faith.”

The Obama administration claims that you cannot allow a business owner to transfer their beliefs into a company they own and operate.

  1. Let’s support Hobby Lobby by patronizing their store big time to help defray the costs of this law suit. Or putting our money where our mouth is and send them money in support of helping them pay for this lawsuit.

  2.
