Dennis Ross: Hobby Lobby Ruling 'Victory for Religious Freedom'

U.S. Rep. Dennis Ross, R-Fla., praised the Supreme Court on Monday for deciding that Hobby Lobby and other closely held businesses do not have to comply with President Barack Obamas health-care laws contraception mandate.

"The president's health-care law goes beyond overreaching, Ross said on Monday. The Supreme Court has ruled today that the agency tasked with implementing Obamacare can't coerce family-owned businesses to violate core tenets of their religious faith. It's a shame that the First Amendment's protections for freedom of religion needed to be validated by the Supreme Court. Today's decision was a victory for religious freedom and another example of why Obamacare must be replaced."
