A judge rebuked the Biden-Harris administration after it tried to force Christians to violate their religious beliefs. Now the administration has to pay attorneys’ fees for the believers it wronged.

From CBN. The Biden-Harris administration has agreed to pay $210,000 in attorneys’ fees and costs to a group of Christian companies and organizations who sued the administration over its policies on gender transitions.

As CBN News reported earlier this year, a U.S. district court ruled faith-based healthcare providers and employers are exempt from performing or paying for harmful “gender transition” surgeries, procedures, and counseling in violation of their religious beliefs.

The Christian Employers Alliance (CEA), a group that says it is “driven by the purpose of courageously defending the freedoms of Christian business owners,” challenged the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission and the Human Services Department in 2021 with the help of the Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF). …

In March, U.S. District Judge Daniel M. Traynor granted summary judgment to CEA stating that while Title IX protects against discrimination on the basis of sex, it doesn’t apply to religious institutions if it would require them to go against their faith-based beliefs. …

In the wake of this year’s ruling, the ADF has now been successful in getting the administration to pay attorney’s fees and other costs. The group also filed a stipulated dismissal of the remaining claims in the case. …

“We’re pleased to favorably conclude this lawsuit on behalf of our clients and hold the administration accountable for trying to force unlawful mandates that disrespect people of faith,” [ADF Senior Counsel and Director of Regulatory Practice Matt Bowman said.]

    Sadly – True ! “The Government” does not have any “money” of its own – never has and probably never will. The entire monetary fiasco behind all governments is some form of legalised robbery ( demanding money with threats – def ) This is tolerated by “The People” up to a point. That point has now been reached by many countries around the world – governments as apposed to dictatorships and other non-consensual mechanisms – will do well to take heed of the reaching of this “tipping-point”. They should also note that the “usual standby” in times of rising resistance – International War – will NOT be tolerated this time. 1914-18 and 1939-45 were quite sufficient to demonstrate the duplicity of “governments” and their entirely Self-serving nature !

I don’t mean to rain on the victory & the judges proper ruling….but the Biden administration will pay nothing. Settlements or awards like this come from the “taxpayers” footing the bill. Until the law changes & rulings like this make “the individual” pay, it will remain the same. But I’m still thankful for the judge’s right decision.

    My desire to respond to you is generated by the fact that no “Amens”
    were in evidence to your comments. Your insight should receive a fair
    response. Perhaps if you had put your last comment first you would
    have achieved qualification for acceptance. That comment is the most
    important one: “Thankful for the judge’s right decision”, because it is
    a precedent in the legal field and it also carries with it the quality of
    Christian conduct: THANKFULNESS!!! I want to thank you for your
    efforts to share your insight and for your thankfulness. Count this as
    at least one “Amen”.
    SHALOM!

    I thought the same thing. The taxpayers will “foot the bill” while those who forced/attempted to force the deranged premises of gender transition surgeries and payments will pay nothing.

    Since it was Biden/Harris — please let them return the funds from the millions they gave garnered thru deals with the devil and deception to the citizens of this country.

    Audit Ocasio as well.

    ********
    Most Holy and Divine God, Mountain Mover – I wait for You , LORD , to expose and expel the wicked who have planned / plan and plot against Your Word and the Constitution of the USA.

    Thank You for the courage, tenacity, discernment and steadfastness You showered on each and every person who worked on this. Bless them abundantly.

    In Jesus Name. Amen
