“This is a big #^@&(N deal”…as Joe Biden would say.    A Federal court is blocking Obamanator’s HHS mandate for O’Brien Industrial Holdings, which operates several smaller companies: Christy Industrial Services, Christy Minerals Co., and Christy Refractories Co. The owner, Frank O’Brien is a Catholic, who wishes to adhere to his religious beliefs in operating his businesses.

The three judge panel of the Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals granted a preliminary injunction which blocks the HHS mandates unconstitutional effects upon this privately owned company. Among the many lawsuits challenging the HHS mandate, this is the first decision rendered by a Federal appeals court.

Frank Manion of the American Center for Law and Justice is handling this case, which was first dismissed by a Federal district court judge before it was taken before the Eighth Circuit Court. The ACLJ has filed two other lawsuits against the Federal Government regarding the HHS mandate, and numerous Amicus briefs for other court challenges.

First Private Lawsuit Filed Against Contraception Mandate.

O’Brien Industrial Holdings LLC, in Missouri, is chaired by Frank O’Brien, and underneath that entity is a group of mining, exploratory and processing companies. The mission statement at the corporate website is summarized: “to make our labor a pleasing offering to the Lord while enriching families and society. O’Brien is an entrepreneur whose faith drives him to do much more than the mere ritual that Obama would permit.
Unlike Obama’s “freedom of worship” idea, the First Amendment guarantees freedom of religion, which is belief that governs activities 24/7.
ACLJ’s Frank Manion, who represents O’Brien and his company, said:“The HHS contraception mandate tells people like Frank O’Brien that they have to choose between conducting their business in a manner consistent with their moral values, or conducting their business in a manner consistent with the government’s values. The constitution does not allow the government to impose such a choice.”
Prayers for the success of this lawsuit against the tyrannical Obama regime.
