Appeals Court Blocks NY Governor s Limits on Religious Gatherings

Second Circuit Court Of Appeals Rules New York Gov Andrew Cuomo s Lockdown Policies Discriminated Against Places Of Worship

Font Size: A three-judge panel on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit unanimously ruled Monday that Democratic New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s executive order that limited capacity at houses of worship discriminated against places of worship and violated the First Amendment. “The Governor’s order is subject to strict scrutiny because it is not neutral on its face and imposes greater restrictions on religious activities than on secular ones,” Judge Michael Park wrote. “The restrictions challenged here specifically and disproportionately burden religious exercise, and thus ‘strike at the very heart of the First Amendment’s guarantee of religious liberty, ” the court said, quoting a Nov. 25 decision by the Supreme Court that ruled the caps were unconstitutional.

The Supreme Court’s per curiam opinion is posted online here along with the concurring and dissenting opinions.
