This morning, the Supreme Court handed down two controversial decisions on Hobby Lobby v. Burwell and Harris v. Quinn that deal significant blows to women’s access to birth control and workers’ rights, respectively. The two issues may seem unrelated, but both decisions represent an extreme right wing agenda that is increasingly acting against the best interests of the middle class and working families. Both of these dangerous decisions have already elicited support from groups closely allied with the Koch brothers and their self-serving agenda.

In its Hobby Lobby decision, the Supreme Court ruled that “closely held” for-profit companies don’t have to comply with the Affordable Care Act requirement that employer-sponsored insurance plans cover birth control if  it is perceived to interfere with the company’s religious beliefs. Shortly after the decision was handed down, Ilya Shapiro, editor in chief of the the Koch-founded CATO Institute’s Supreme Court Review heralded the decision, bizarrely claiming that “nobody has been denied access to contraceptives,” when in fact, according to the Wall Street Journal, some of the 40 for-profit employers who won injunctions in the case were already planning to deny access to contraceptive coverage based on today’s ruling.

Shapiro’s statement is presupposed on the court’s finding that women can still purchase birth control on their own, outside of their employers’ insurance plans. Yet the high costs of contraceptives can often be prohibitive for working class women. As Justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg writes in her dissenting Hobby Lobby opinion, “It bears note in this regard that the cost of an IUD is nearly equivalent to a month’s full-time pay for workers earning the minimum wage.” CATO Institute and the Kochs’ political arm, Americans for Prosperity, also oppose raising the minimum wage at both the federal and state levels.

Shapiro continued, “and there’s now more freedom for all Americans to live their lives how they want, without checking their freedom at the office door.” By “all Americans,” CATO must mean all Americans who don’t work at Hobby Lobby, Conestoga Wood, or any number of other closely-held companies. Cato Senior Fellow Walter Olson added that Hobby Lobby “will become a footnote of purely historical interest.” To borrow their metaphor, women’s rights are apparently already in the fine print at the very bottom of the page, where they can be easily ignored by employers and CATO ideologues alike.

In the matter of Harris v. Quinn, the National Right to Work Foundation brought a legal challenge intended to weaken the collective bargaining power of public employees, which the Supreme Court largely upheld in its decision. NRWF received $1 million from the Kochs’ shadowy “secret bank,” Freedom Partners, in 2012 — the same year the Kochs also poured millions into supporting Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker’s extreme anti-workers’ rights agenda in his recall election. For the Kochs, fighting against the needs of women and working families is more than just a “hobby.”
