QUESTION: Two landmark Supreme Court decisions recently slapped President Obamas hands: 1. In a 9-0 decision, the Court held that the President had abused his recess appointments authority under the Constitution by appointing federal officers without consent of the Senate while the Senate still considered itself to be in session and had the ability to conduct Senate business. 2. In a 5-4 decision, the Court held that the Secretary of Health and Human Services violated the Religious Freedom Restoration Act by writing administrative rules requiring closely held businesses to provide contraceptives to employees, even if doing so violated their religious conscience. What is your opinion of these decisions?
