Divided along conservative-liberal lines, with fractures of focus on the conservative side, the United States Supreme Court handed down two orders late Friday night, February 6, that shoot down Gov. Newsom’s ban on indoor religious services.
The order came in response to a request for an injunction against the ban. The request was submitted to Associate Justice Elena Kagan, who referred it to the full Court for consideration. (Each Justice is responsible for a distinct geographic area for such matters.)
The response was a
partial victory for Harvest Rock Church and South Bay Pentecostal Church. Although the complete ban on indoor religious services was struck down, the restriction on capacity and against singing or chanting inside remain. Further, this is in effect only until the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals rules on the case.
