The Supreme Court ruled 6-3 on Thursday in Kennedy v. Braidwood Management. The case challenged the structure of a task force in the Department of Health and Human Services that recommends preventive services insurers would be required to cover without charging patients extra.
As Liberty Nation News Legal Affairs Editor Scott D. Cosenza, Esq. explained: “Groups with religious objections to covering an HIV prevention medication challenged an HHS rule by attacking the legality of the task force itself.” Today the majority held that the task force was in fact constitutional.
Justices Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito, and Neil Gorsuch dissented, contending that the majority erroneously relied on a new theory invented by the government on appeal.
FCC v. Consumer’s Research came next, another 6-3 decision. Justice Elena Kagan wrote the majority. Gorsuch dissented, joined by Justices Thomas and Alito.
Did Congress violate the non-delegation doctrine by allowing the FCC to decide for itself how much to tax internet providers. The Court held that, in fact, they did not.
