Halting the Contraception Mandate

Professor Jeffrey Rosen appeared on NPR's The Takeaway to discuss Justice Sonia Sotomayor's temporary block on the contraception mandate for religious groups, which came after two lower courts disagreed about this requirement of the Affordable Care Act. In the interview, Professor Rosen explains the religious objections presented before the courts and also outlines the Obama Administration's probable response. About Justice Sotomayor, Rosen says, "This was not a signaling of how she is going to rule on the merits of the case; she was just doing her responsibility as a circuit justice."
