Trump: Trump Administration and Christian Groups

trump: In the more prominent of the two cases, involving U.S. President Barack Obama's health care overhaul, the justices greenlighted changes the Trump administration had sought, according to CTV. The administration announced in 2017 that it would allow more employers to opt out of providing the no-cost birth control coverage required under the law, but lower courts had blocked the changes. In both cases the court ruled 7-2, with two liberal justices joining conservatives in favour of the Trump administration and religious employers. The ruling is a significant election-year win for President Donald Trump, who counts on heavy support from evangelicals and other Christian groups for votes and policy backing. In one of those earlier cases, the court rejected Trump's effort to end legal protections for 650,000 young immigrants. It was also good news for the administration, which in recent weeks has seen headline-making Supreme Court decisions go against its positions. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
