GVR in Notre Dame's HHS Mandate case
The Supreme Court this morning granted certiorari, vacated the Seventh Circuit's decision denying Notre Dame's RFRA challenge to the HHS mandate, and remanded for reconsideration in light of Burwell v. Hobby Lobby Stores Inc. Given that the Seventh Circuit's decision pre-dated Hobby Lobby, this course of action makes good sense. (The petition and related briefs are linked at SCOTUSBlog.)
