It raises an interesting point, but has nothing to do with today's 5-4 SCOTUS ruling.


It's true that it is not a factor in deciding the legal issues in this decision. And it is an interesting point because these were business owners whose moral beliefs led them to litigate a detailed segment of a congressional act. It is hard to believe that in selecting among the legions of investment plans at their disposal, they wouldn't even give a cursory glance at plans that are consistent with their religious beliefs.
