The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday morning will rule on HHS mandate.

 
The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday morning will rule on religious freedom in the Hobby Lobby and Conestoga Wood Specialties cases regarding the HHS mandate.
 
Both companies sued the federal government over the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) requirement that employers offer insurance coverage of abortion-inducing drugs, contraceptives and sterilizations. This mandate goes against the religious and moral beliefs of both companies.
 
The ruling will most likely set a legal precedent for similar lawsuits filed by religious-based and nonprofit employers -- such as the Little Sisters of the Poor.
 
No doubt about it -- Monday's ruling will be a big one.
 
If you live in the Chicagoland area, and if the ruling is favorable, head over to Federal Plaza in downtown Chicago at the intersection of Adams and Dearborn streets at noon for a victory rally.
