The Supreme Court dealt a blow to the President's Affordable Care Act when it ruled that the craft store chain Hobby Lobby's religious rights outweighed the rights by their female employees to obtain full contraceptive coverage provided by the law.
At heart in that decision was the court's view that the chain's owners, the Green family, had a deeply sincere religious belief against certain contraceptives. However the Green family's work to preserve and promote its own brand of religion extends far beyond just this one case.
Nirvi Shah, deputy managing editor for Politico, explains that the family has spent millions supporting religious curricula in schools, donating to Christian universities and creating a museum dedicated to the Bible in DC.
