A federal court on Tuesday blocked new rules established by the Trump administration that would have allowed employers with religious or moral objections to opt out of an Obamacare requirement that includes birth control coverage in employee health insurance plans.
Two out of the three judges on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit concluded that a birth control exemption violated the Affordable Care Act’s contraception mandate, which requires all employers to provide birth control coverage with no co-payment.
The Health and Human Services Department, Labor Department, and Treasury Department in 2017, started adopting new rules that allowed religious groups, including the Little Sisters of the Poor, to opt out of the requirement to provide birth control coverage for employees, the National Review reported. The rules were finalized in 2018 but have not been enforced.

More criminal leftists in black robes.

No, they’re tyrants.
Good old unconstitutional obamacare
Well, there are THREE nominees for the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals that are pending before Lindsey Graham’s Senate Judiciary Committee.
Maybe Lindsey could get more focused on processing Trump’s Judicial nominees and spend a little less time running toward every camera and microphone he sees. And maybe he could get rid of the Blue Slip process for Federal District Court nominees while he’s at it.
go to en banc and then wait it out for notorious rbg to croak
Linda is dragging this out as long as possible, hoping the Dems will take back the White House so it can be business as usual again for the swamp.
I specifically remember Obama allowing exemptions for Congress because Obamacare gave the executive branch carte blanche on exemptions...
Am I remembering this incorrectly??
I consider them terrorists
On to the SCOTUS.
According to this article, that does not appear to be the case.
Hasn’t the USSC already ruled on this?
Your anti Lindsey bias from the bandwagon is going nowhere. It is not true
Fake Post
You’re ridiculous....that’s your MO.
Are you an American/Citizen yet?

I thought he gave unions a way out also.
But it was not a mandate by the legislation itself. It was a rule by Obama’s HHS. This is ignorance writ large on the part of the court. If one administration can enact a rule based on its understanding of how a law is to be put into practice another administration can do the same. Especially if the change is more in line with current laws- such as the RFPA act.
8 out of 10 rulings by the Ninth Circuit Court get overturned most of the time,they studied law between lunch and dinner.
"Senior Circuit Judge Andrew Kleinfeld, a George H.W. Bush appointee who leans conservative, penned a dissent"
"U.S. Circuit Judges J. Clifford Wallace and Andrew Kleinfeld and U.S. Circuit Judge Susan P. Graber sat on the panel for the Ninth Circuit."
John Clifford Wallace was born December 11, 1928. The old fossil is going to be 91 in 7 weeks.
Wonder which of his law clerks is tasked with changing his adult diaper?
Something like each congressional office and staff was a "independent small business" and thus exempt from the ravages of obamacare
Not to mention the fully staffed medical office at each floor
and the "congressional disciplinary" for all their pills and potions.
