The U.S, Supreme Court today denied review in Horizon Christian School v. Brown, (Docket No. 21-567, certiorari denied 11/15/2021). (Order List). In the case, the U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals in an Aug. 2 opinion (full text) affirmed the denial of a preliminary injunction against Oregon's previous COVID-19 restrictions on in-person schooling. The suit was brought by parents of students who attend religious schools. (See prior related posting.)
Roberts remains a chicken Traitor....

And we only learned about double negatives in school.
This looks like a quad.
It’s not English it’s legal bafflegab.
Now, in English:
Governor imposed distance learning for all schools during COVID. Catholic schools sued for an injuction, claiming it violated their religious rights.
They were denied.
They appealed.
They were denied again.
They took it to the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court chose not to review the case.
Why? The restrictions applied to all schools and the restrictions were no longer in place. This was not a judgment on restrictions in general, but that they were no longer relevant as they had already expired and were universally applied to public schools as well.
If they were still in place, the court may have moved differently.
Thanks for the clarification.
