Issues: Business and Consumers Religion

Today, Congressman Bill Cassidy, M.D. reacted to the decision by the Supreme Court to review Sebelius v. Hobby Lobby Stores, Inc., which centers on whether Washington can force business owners to comply with mandates that violate their religious faith. He released the following statement:

"Religious liberty and the right to conscience are clearly protected by the Constitution. That should be respected by our government. Unfortunately, President Obama and Senate Democrats have not shown that respect. Therefore, I urge the Supreme Court to uphold the Constitution and protect the religious freedom of all Americans."
