February 4, 2015. Mark your calendar. That’s the day when oral arguments will be heard in the Eternal Word Television Network’s case against the HHS Mandate.
The Becket Fund for Religious Liberty, which is defending EWTN in the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals, in its media advisory called EWTN “a Catholic network whose sole purpose is to spread the word of God,” and noted that EWTN must fight for the right to remain faithful to the very religious message it advances.
If they were to lose, EWTN could be forced to either violate its faith or pay millions in IRS fines.
Just looking at it logically, however, this appears to be yet another case which the federal government will lose.
