Judge Bastian, in EDWA, just ruled from bench in Washington v. Azar, "conscience rule" #DenialOfCare case, Washington's motion for summary judgment GRANTED, fed gov's DENIED. Rule vacated. Written opinion to follow "later."
Judge agreed with NY's Judge Englemayer decision that (1) it is appropriate to decide on the MSJ; (2) exceeds HHS's statutory authority; (3) rule is arbitrary & capricious for reasons in SDNY opinion; (4) unconstitutional in certain respects.
