WASHINGTON (AP) — A divided Supreme Court on Friday rejected an emergency appeal by a California church that challenged state limits on attendance at worship services that have been imposed to contain the spread of the coronavirus.

Over the dissent of the four more conservative justices, Chief Justice John Roberts joined the court's four liberals in turning away a request from the South Bay United Pentecostal Church in Chula Vista, California, in the San Diego area.

The same reason the gay couples didn’t choose Muslim bakeries to (not) bake their wedding cakes.

Somebody on our side should out him publicly and demand his resignation.

Not if you push it. President Trump and Justice Kavanaugh showed that.

One of President Reagan’s biggest failures was failing to push back HARD on the Bork nomination. Had they done that, we might never have had Anthony Kennedy.

That’s another useful aspect of President Trump’s list. If you don’t put the nominee (whoever he or she is) through, we can just pick someone else from teh list they might like even less.

(As long as it’s not Hardiman.)

Justice Roberts try as he might, cannot serve two masters: One) the United States Constitution which he swore to protect, up-hold and follow: Two) The Liberal path where ever it takes him.

I'm reminded of an exchange Barry Goldwater had with a reporter during the 1964 campaign.

REPORTER: Senator Goldwater, when will the Republican Party become the peace party?

GOLDWATER: Become the peace party? We are the peace party. What we are not, and won't become, is the "peace at any price" party.

As usual, I'm with Barry.

Another reason to re-elect President Trump. If the Democrats win, they need only three seats to control the Senate (50 plus Biden’s VP.) If Trump wins, they need four because Vice President Pence will vote with the Republicans and we could retain control with 50 seats.

Great reminder. It is so frustrating our picks are rather 50/50. The left seems to get 100/0. Practically. There is the occasional surprising vote.

John ‘the pirate’ Roberts does whatever the holder of his blackmail file command of him. He has no strength of character and is an owned man ... well, man might be a bit too much credit for the worm Roberts.

So true on all counts. Kavanaugh worries me. He wasn’t originally on the list. He was added later, and he may have some vestigial Harvard/Yale “wants-to-be-liked-by-the-establishment” thing going on.

Gorcuch wasn’t in the original 11 either.

Kavanaugh was apparently Kennedy’s recommendation to succeed him.

"The same reason the gay couples didn’t choose Muslim bakeries to (not) bake their wedding cakes."

Well now, that raises the question inquiring minds needs to know:

If a gay couple DID choose a Muslim bakery, which side does the U.S. Supreme Court choose and what would be their twisted logic?

They will just say she is resting at home, soon to return. You bet we would not know of Ruth Buzi Ginzberg’s deat until after the election returns are in. The final fraudulent ones. Trump still wins though, despite all the fraud.

Only in pre-selected by the demon rats locations. I wonder if the feds are tracking any of these vermin. If so they need exposing and incarceration, and the complicit media needs to be turned off.

“ Just don’t call it a worship service; call it a “protest.” As we’re seeing tonight, they can’t disperse you then. ”

Brilliant idea
