Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer denied a request Monday from a Maine church that sought to block the state from enforcing or reinstating Covid restrictions in the wake of the Delta variant surge
Breyer acted without comment and declined to refer the church’s petition to the full court for its consideration, suggesting there was not enough interest from his colleagues to step in.
Legal experts said that the church’s emergency request might have been considered premature by the justices because the state hadn’t actually implemented new restrictions related to the Delta variant and had stopped enforcing other restrictions in May as Covid cases declined.
