Smith Applauds Supreme Court Ruling on Hobby Lobby Case

Congressman Adrian Smith’s (R-NE) released the following statement after the Supreme Court of the United States issued its ruling in the case of Burwell v. Hobby Lobby Stores, Inc. The Court decided closely-held corporations, such as Hobby Lobby, cannot be forced to comply with Obamacare mandates which violate their religious beliefs.

“Today’s decision is an important victory for religious freedom and conscience rights against the expansion of the federal government into our lives. I applaud the ruling which reverses one of the many overreaches of Obamacare. Certainly, there is more to be done.

“Moving forward we must continue to insist religious freedom is respected for all Americans, and to address the many problems of Obamacare.”

Smith joined with 85 members of the House and Senate in filing an amicus brief in support of Hobby Lobby.
