No American should ever be compelled by the government to violate their religious beliefs, but that's exactly what was happening to The Little Sisters of the Poorbecause of unconstitutional mandates in Obamacare. I proudly joined my colleagues insigning an amicus briefurging the Supreme Court to restore the Little Sisters of the Poor's constitutional rights, and applaud the Court for doing just that. The Supreme Court's decision today, upholding religious and conscience protections adopted by the Trump administration, is a victory for religious freedom and for the First Amendment. | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
