Supreme Court Rejects Obama Administration Power Grab Over Churches in Hosanna-Tabor v. EEOC

This is a very important decision and it was unanimous:

Supreme Court Rejects Obama Administration Power Grab Over Churches in Hosanna-Tabor v. EEOC: The Supreme Court has rejected the Obama administration’s argument that it can dictate who churches hire as ministers or clergy in Hosanna-Tabor Evangelical Lutheran Church and School v. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. The Obama administration unsuccessfully argued that the government can dictate who churches hire, as long as it also subjects secular employers to the same dictates regarding who they hire (so-called rules of general applicability).
