Let Religious Freedom Ring
The United States Supreme Court fired a salvo for religious freedom and delivered a major blow to surly New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo. SCOTUS on Thanksgiving Eve blocked Gov. Cuomo from reimposing strict attendance caps at worship services in areas hit hard by the novel coronavirus.
The decision, rendered near midnight, gave those who wish to gather and practice their religion during the pandemic a huge victory. The case reached the high court following a joint lawsuit filed by Christian and Jewish groups in New York City. It also hinted where recently confirmed Associate Justice Amy Coney Barrett might stand on future cases. Barrett sided with the conservative branch of the court–Justices Samuel Alito, Brett Kavanaugh, Neil Gorsuch and Clarence Thomas. Meanwhile, despite being devout Roman Catholic, Chief Justice John Roberts, who was appointed to the court by President George W. Bush, again voted with the liberal wing. Here more from Fox News.
