The following quote may be attributed to Alliance Defending Freedom Legal Counsel Daniel Grabowski regarding a friend-of-the-court brief ADF attorneys filed Thursday with the U.S. Supreme Court in Kennedy v. Braidwood Management, a case in which individuals and small businesses are contesting a taskforce structure within the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services that acts without oversight from the executive branch of the federal government. Because such structures allow agency officials to implement their own agendas without accountability, ADF attorneys filed their brief on behalf of Christian Employers Alliance, which has twice challenged the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission for forcing its members to provide for so-called gender transition procedures in employee health insurance coverage, use employees’ self-selected pronouns, allow males in female-only private spaces, and facilitate employees’ abortions:
“Americans have the constitutionally protected freedom to live and work according to their religious beliefs, and governments exist to defend that freedom. The Biden administration allowed government officials to act as independent agents, forcing their own views on citizens with no oversight. Our client, Christian Employers Alliance, has firsthand experience with the EEOC forcing agendas that violate its members’ consciences. If the President cannot exercise his constitutional duty to supervise officers in agencies like the EEOC and HHS, then our nation is worse for it. We urge the Supreme Court to restore this accountability within the federal government and to the American people.”
Alliance Defending Freedom is an alliance-building, non-profit legal organization committed to protecting religious freedom, free speech, parental rights, and the sanctity of life.
