Court permits White House outreach to religious charities

Story Highlights

• The 5-4 decision said taxpayers did not have the "standing" to challenge office
• Atheist and agnostic groups said office gave religious groups unfair access
• White House says the decision is a win for thousands of "faith-based nonprofits"

By a 5-4 vote, a conservative majority concluded taxpayers did not have "standing" to challenge in court the discretionary spending authority of the executive branch for its Office of Faith-Based and Community Initiatives.
