Alex Mooney Praises SCOTUS Ruling on Religious Liberty

Statement

Today, Alex Mooney, Republican nominee for Congress in West Virginia's second congressional district, praised the United States Supreme Court's ruling on Burwell v. Hobby Lobby, religious freedoms.

In the court's 5-4 decision, Justice Alito wrote that the owners of these companies [Hobby Lobby, Inc. and Conestoga Wood Specialties] were protected under the Religious Freedom Restoration Act of 1993 and cannot be coerced under Obamacare to violate their religious beliefs. (Burwell V. Hobby Lobby, Inc., et al.)

"I applaud the Supreme Court's decision ruling in favor of our most basic constitutional freedoms: religious liberty and limited government. This should come as good news to local business owners like Joe Holland who also filed his own lawsuit regarding the Obamacare mandate," said Alex Mooney. "Once again we are seeing that the intrusive and job-killing Obamacare law is a complete disaster. I am committed to repealing Obamacare and replacing it with real health care reforms that will improve quality of care, expands access, and reduces costs for West Virginia families and businesses."
