Supreme Court Decides in Favor of First Amendment Freedoms

Statement

Date: June 30, 2014
Issues: Religion Labor Unions Judicial Branch

Following two Supreme Court rulings today that workers cannot be forced to pay union dues and businesses can express religious freedom under ObamaCare, U.S. Senate candidate Thom Tillis issued the following statement:

"Today, the Supreme Court made a strong stand in two cases for important First Amendment freedoms -- the right to not be forced to pay union dues and the right to religious freedom. Although today was a loss for Kay Hagan, Barack Obama, and the Washington bureaucrats who want to run our lives, the American people are the clear winners."
