WASHINGTON, June 28, 2013 /Standard Newswire/ -- Congressman J. Randy Forbes (VA-04) released this statement in response to yesterday's reversal of a lower court's decision to deny a preliminary injunction in the case of Hobby Lobby v. Sebelius:
"I am pleased that the Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit has reversed the lower court's denial of a preliminary injunction in the case of Hobby Lobby v. Sebelius, holding that the business has established a likelihood of success in their challenge of the HHS mandate. The religious freedom guaranteed by the First Amendment is not constrained simply because an individual enters the stream of commerce. The Tenth Circuit rightly recognized that Congress did not exclude for-profit corporations from the protections of the Religious Freedom Restoration Act. A core intent of the First Amendment was to provide protections to individuals, including private business owners who wish to operate in accordance with their faith. As the founder and co-chairman of the Congressional Prayer Caucus, I am committed to protecting religious freedom in this country."
