The U.S. Supreme Court today denied review in Community Baptist Church v. Polis, (Docket No. 21-1328, certiorari denied 5/31/2022). (Order List). In the case, the U.S. 10th Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed a district court's denial of a preliminary injunction in a free exercise challenge by two churches and one of their pastors to COVID restrictions imposed by the state of Colorado. It similarly affirmed the dismissal of a challenge to the federal government's award of COVID relief aid to the state. (See prior posting.)
So now practice of religion is no longer protected under the constitution? 1st and 2nd amendments gutted.
Leave this slave state and take all your congregants, assets, and money with you.
It’s kind of a leap to assume that simply because the Court denied to hear a case.
The Supreme Court has no Evangelical Christians. None.
Evangelical Christians make up about a third of the US population.
