Round I or Game Over?
In Little Sisters of the Poor v. Pennsylvania, the U.S. Supreme Court approved 2017 Interim Final Rules and 2018 Final Rules that exempt private employers, health care issuers, and third-party administrators with religious or moral aversion to contraception from “complicity” with what the Court labeled an “administratively created contraceptive mandate” in the Affordable Care Act. This decision, however, presents a clear danger to the separation of powers doctrine and settled rule of law. This white paper explores the consequences of the result-oriented decision that prejudges the merits of the dispute before the case returns to the Court. Is this just round one, or is the game over?
