Supreme Court dodges birth control ruling as Scalia vacancy lingers
The Supreme Court with eight justices sent the case back to lower courts without ruling on merits. The unsigned opinion preserves access to cost free contraception for women in faith affiliated plans while allowing groups to continue objecting on religious grounds. Obama urged Congress to confirm Scalia successor Merrick Garland, highlighting the case's political stakes. Carrie Severino hailed the decision as a win for religious groups seeking lower court review. The court’s action signals possible ties in unresolved cases ahead of the 2016 election.
