Despite George Bush appointee, John Roberts, deciding yet AGAIN to side with the radical left wing of the court, religious first amendment freedom scored a big win this week.
The tyrant of the left coast, Gavin Newsom, Mr. do as I say not as I do, Mr. try to crash the economy with draconian lockdowns, Mr. no you can’t go worship God as you see fit just got put in his place by the Supreme Court of the United States.
Those poor souls who have made their home in the totalitarian state of California and worship God (I know they may not be the majority, but they surely are out there) are rejoicing today:
Fox News reported:
‘The U.S. Supreme Court in a divided decision late Friday ruled in favor of lifting restrictions on in-home religious gatherings, overturning a lower court ruling that upheld Gov. Gavin Newsom’s limits on people from different homes.
The 5-4 unsigned ruling follows other similar decisions recently regarding churches and the coronavirus pandemic. The decision noted it was the fifth time the court has rejected the Ninth Circuit’s analysis of California coronavirus restrictions.
Chief Justice John Roberts dissented but did not sign the dissenting statement submitted by justices Elena Kagan, Sonia Sotomayor and Stephen Breyer.
The ruling stated that before it can limit religious gatherings, the government must prove they pose a greater danger than secular activities that remain open, such as shopping or attending movies.
“Otherwise, precautions that suffice for other activities suffice for religious exercise too,” the majority opinion said, adding that California “treats some comparable secular activities more favorably than at-home religious exercise, permitting hair salons, retail stores, personal care services, movie theaters, private suites at sporting events and concerts and indoor dining at restaurants to bring together more than three households at a time.”
The majority opinion added that the state can’t “assume the worst when people go to worship but assume the best when people go to work,” in a quote from a previous ruling.
Justice Elena Kagan, who ruled against easing restrictions along with Justices Stephen Breyer, Sonia Sotomayor and John Roberts, wrote in a dissenting opinion that the state has complied with the First Amendment because it also restricts secular at-home gatherings to three households.’
Well, imagine my shock, ‘Justice’ John Roberts, the Judas of the Supreme Court, sided with the radical left wing of the court. As time goes on it seems more and more like Roberts was a globalist sleeper cell placed on the court by the Bush crime family.
I assume it was this exact scenario, where the high court featured 5 ‘conservatives’ (Trump’s appointments, other than Gorsuch) have proven to be less than stellar.
While Trump had an opportunity to put 3 Scalias on the court, he was somehow convinced by those around him to put more moderate and perhaps compromised judges on the court.
Luckily, they seem to have gotten this one right.
