A #WashingtonPost editorial fails to cover the legal reasoning behind the Supreme Court’s decision:
"The editorial did not mention that the ruling was based on the finding that making medical claims in a religious context was not a protected form of religious freedom."
"In its decision, the high court said that the booklet's offending passages did not concern religion or beliefs. Instead, they were opinions based on the author's social and medical views."
