a permanent injunction <\/a>against the United States government in the matter of its attempt to force Tyndale Publishers to abide by the HHS Mandate. In other words, the court ruled that attempts to force Tyndale to abide by the HHS Mandate had previously been ruled Unconstitutional in the Hobby Lobby decision.<\/p>\nThe reason for this is that Tyndale is a for-profit corporation, as opposed to the Little Sisters of the Poor, which is a non-profit. The Hobby Lobby decision addressed for-profits.<\/p>\n
This allowed the Obama Administration to issue a new set of guidelines, forcing the nuns to abide by the HHS Mandate. It also forces the Little Sisters to take their case to the Supreme Court.<\/p>\n
In the meantime, I wonder why, given the Hobby Lobby case, the government didn\u2019t just drop its case against Tyndale. Why was the publisher\u00a0forced to seek this injunction? The Obama administration seems determined to try to force Christian employers to violate their faiths, up to and including forcing them to take their individual cases to court to claim their rights.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
