The Patriot Post® · Little Sisters Win Big

The Little Sisters of the Poor, a Catholic nun organization, sued the Obama administration over the contraception mandate last year – one of 91 such lawsuits. Most courts ruled that the administration’s exceptions were too narrow and that the rule violates religious liberty. On Friday, the U.S. Supreme Court granted the Little Sisters a permanent stay pending appeal. It was a significant rebuke for an Obama White House that sees no limit on its own power. More significant still, there were no dissents from the Court, meaning even Obama’s appointees seem to think he’s clearly overstepped his constitutional bounds.
