“Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof;...”

Justice Roberts majority opinion

-”The Order places temporary numerical restrictions on public gatherings to address this extraordinary health emergency. State guidelines cur- rently limit attendance at places of worship to 25% of build- ing capacity or a maximum of 100 attendees.”

Justice Kavanaugh dissenting opinion

- I would grant the Church’s requested temporary injunc- tion because California’s latest safety guidelines discriminate against places of worship and in favor of comparable secular businesses. Such discrimination violates the First Amendment.
- In response to the COVID–19 health crisis, California has now limited attendance at religious worship services to 25% of building capacity or 100 attendees, whichever is lower. The basic constitutional problem is that comparable secular businesses are not subject to a 25% occupancy cap, including factories, offices, supermarkets, restaurants, retail stores, pharmacies, shopping malls, pet grooming shops, bookstores, florists, hair salons, and cannabis dispensaries.”
