Alliance Defending Freedom attorneys obtained the
first-ever order against the mandate on behalf of Hercules Industries
and the Catholic family that owns it. The administration opposed the
order, arguing, contrary to the U.S. Constitution, that people of faith
forfeit their religious liberty once they engage in business.[...]

District Court for the District of Colorado said that the government’s

scheme]….’ Accordingly, the public interest favors entry of an
injunction in this case.”
This comes after two Federal District Courts had
dismissed earlier lawsuits, citing lack of harm.
