The state of California has settled a lawsuit with Christian organizations over coronavirus restrictions placed on houses of worship, ending Gov. Gavin Newsom’s ability to close churches or limit their occupancy. [The Center Square]
Last year, Liberty Counsel, a Christian legal organization, filed suit on behalf of Harvest Rock Church and Harvest International Ministry. Following multiple United States Supreme Court rulings against Newsom’s restrictions, Liberty Counsel and the California Attorney General’s Office submitted a final settlement last week to the district court and the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals.

Washington D.C. – In a 9-0 ruling, the United States Supreme Court ruled that police cannot seize a firearm from a home without a warrant. The unprecedented ruling stemmed from a case in Rhode Island that entered a home to search for a gun that belonged to a man who had agreed to seek a mental health evaluation. Police claimed that they were operating under the caretaking exception to the Fourth Amendment.
Several justices made it clear that their decision would in no way prevent law enforcement from entering a home without a warrant to check on a person that may require emergency medical need.
Harvard filed an opposition brief Monday urging the United States Supreme Court to reject a petition by anti-affirmative action group Students for Fair Admissions, which in February requested the court review a lower courtâs decision to uphold Harvardâs race-conscious admissions practices.
âAfter years of discovery, SFFA produced no persuasive evidence to support its legal claims. The court of appeals found no error in the district courtâs meticulous explanation of how it resolved the disputed facts and applied the relevant law,â Harvardâs attorneys wrote in the brief. âSFFA is not entitled to battle out the facts a third time in this Court. And it identifies no unsettled legal issue meriting review.â
In the Good news, Bad news department, hereâs the good news. Separation through independence is all but dead. The PQ is probably polling a little higher than the Marxist-Leninists, but it may have less support than the local Kiwanis Club. For most, the name Plamondon conjures up a Metro station in an ethnic part of town, not the leader of a separatist party.
Alright, now for the bad news. Quebec has already separated without having to achieve independence. The Canadian Charter of Rights doesnât seem to apply to all Canadians. And Quebecâs own Charter of Rights doesnât seem to apply to all Quebecers.Â
