WASHINGTON (CN) Timing is everything, the U.S. Supreme Court said Thursday, denying a Kentucky Christian school’s lawsuit to enjoin a governor’s order halting in-person learning, because of when the order is due to expire.
“The Governor’s school-closing Order effectively expires this week or shortly thereafter and there is no indication that it will be renewed,” an unsigned order for the court states.
Both Justices Samuel Alito and Neil Gorsuch penned dissents, Alito writing that no one should misinterpret the denial as an approval of the Sixth Circuit’s decision.
