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."

This is a huge ruling, essentially establishing that religious activities have to be allowed if any gathering is allowed.
fraudulent voting no
john roberts, American traitor.

A totalitarian.
RE; Roberts
Someone must own him He should be removed from the bench. Thankful this ruling was allowed to stand.
ooops. not enough sacrificial white helpless babies
were sent this time to Malta, the Vatican,
and to the Chamber of antiConstitutional-predator Roberts
to wake the sex/baby trafficker-Traitor, and his beard,up?
He should be removed from the bench.
Has the “wise Latina” Sotomayer ever once voted with the conservatives? I mean why even show up. Just mail it in for her.
She’s the “angry Latina” who hates everything white and America. Fool.....you think we’re stupid?
Roberts has simply become as dependable a liberal vote as RBG.
Roberts stand is indefensible...
George Bush’s gif that will keep on giving...
Jackass
Has the “wise Latina” Sotomayer ever once voted with the conservatives?
It’s past time to investigate and, possibly, impeach, John Roberts. He got seriously hinky when the Epstein scandal broke and started making troubling decisions and raging around the other justices and staff when it was shown that HIS name showed up on the logs of the “lolita express” TWICE. Time to find out what the left has on him that has influenced his decisions.
There are a lot of apolitical cases decided unanimously, but on the big, divisive cases, she’s pretty much 100% leftist. Horrible justice.
It looks like Roberts has effectively taken Ginsberg’s place at the nuttiest justice.
Yeah, she’s the worse ever I think. Mediocre intelligence and contempt for White America. Bad combo. She got the job thanks to a subtle form of affirmative action. Has no business in the same room as a Scalia or Bork, etc. Amateur hour thinker with hate.
Has Roberts officially gone over to the dark side?
