Tomorrow SCOTUS will conference on our NY Vax case 

The High Court keeps conferencing our NY Vax case, now for the seventh time, which indicates a keen interest in its constitutional issues.

Religious freedom and federal law under New York Governor Kathy Hochul mean nothing. She forced health care employers to close and health care providers to be fired simply because of their Christian faith. Liberty Counsel is fighting back at the U.S. Supreme Court — and we need your help now more than ever.

If we do not win this case, governors like Hochul will be able to rob Christians of their federal and constitutional rights — even forcing businesses to close over their religious convictions — any time they want. We cannot allow this to continue! The facts of this case are callous and heartbreaking.

For 50 years, Pinecrest Home for Adults provided compassionate, Christ-centered care to seniors. Patients and staff worshipped together daily, creating a true family of faith. But Hochul’s unlawful mandate demanded that Pinecrest force its Christian employees to violate their religious convictions against taking an abortion-linked experimental drug or face crushing fines of 1,000 dollars per day per employee.

Peter Hanan and the Pinecrest board refused to force their employees to betray their religious convictions and forfeit their federal and constitutional religious freedom. Peter and Pinecrest stood firm — and paid the ultimate price. Pinecrest was forced to shut its doors, leaving vulnerable seniors scrambling for care. The nursing home employees, along with thousands of other New Yorkers, lost their jobs for refusing an abortion-linked dangerous shot. Hochul allowed medical exemptions but banned religious ones — a blatant violation of federal law and constitutional rights.

One of four things will happen next:

This will be the SEVENTH time this case, Does v. Hochul, has been conferenced by the Supreme Court. Generally, when a case is conferenced this many times, it means that the High Court has a strong interest in the case. We expect one of four things to happen next:

1. The High Court could set the case for further briefing and schedule oral arguments, and if so, I will present our case.
2. The High Court could issue a “per curiam” opinion. These are opinions issued by the High Court without hearing oral arguments. This measure is generally reserved for clear constitutional abuses, and this case most certainly fits that bill. The High Court has already issued two per curiam orders this term, so our New York case might be the third.

1. The High Court could reschedule the case for another conference. 
2. The High Court could decline the case and decide not to take it up at all. However, seven conferences indicate the Court has a strong interest in this case, so I think this is the least likely outcome.

Preparing for this battle requires urgent resources.

Will you stand with us? Every gift you give today will be DOUBLED by a special Year-End Challenge Grant. Your support will help us defend religious freedom for every American. 

If Hochul’s actions go unchecked, any state could override federal law and force Christian businesses to close. We cannot let that happen. Please give generously and pray for victory at the Supreme Court.

Thank you for standing with us in this critical hour. Together, we can stop these attacks and restore religious freedom.
