Supreme Court Strikes Down Restrictions on Colorado Churches

AP Photo/Patrick Semansky In a 6-3 decision, the Supreme Court granted a temporary injunction to a Colorado church that was fighting Governor Jared Polis’s restrictions on capacity. The court pointed to a decision in New York where the Catholic diocese of Brooklyn sued Governor Andrew Cuomo over his pandemic restrictions and won on the grounds that Cuomo’s orders violated the First Amendment. This would appear to open the door to churches nationwide to decide their own COVID policies. Justice Elena Kagan dissented, along with Justices Stephen Breyer and Sonia Sotomayor, pointing to the fact that Colorado had preemptively lifted its church limitations once the High Plains Harvest appealed to the high court.

For conservative justices, faith in religious freedom trumps public health

For conservative justices, faith in religious freedom trumps public health Aviam Soifer, opinion contributor © Greg Nash For conservative justices, faith in religious freedom trumps public health The Supreme Court and the U.S. Constitution are not synonymous. At times the public may fail to distinguish between the two, yet it is not too much to expect that the Justices themselves recognize the distinction. Late on the eve of Thanksgiving, our most recent justices - Barrett, Gorsuch, and Kavanaugh - joined Justices Thomas and Alito to issue an emergency injunction against a New York public health rule, which in fact was no longer operative.

Supreme Court Strikes Down New Jersey, Colorado Church Capacity Limits

Supreme Court Strikes Down New Jersey, Colorado Church Capacity Limits The Supreme Court struck down pandemic-related limits on attendance at houses of worship in New Jersey and Colorado in two separate lawsuits on Dec. 15.

Lawyers for the petitioners, a Roman Catholic priest, Kevin Robinson, and an Orthodox Jewish rabbi, Yisrael Knopfler, described the ruling as “a huge victory for religious freedom” in a statement. The court granted the petition and judgment at the same time without hearing oral argument, sending the case back to the 3rd Circuit Court of Appeals “with instructions to remand to the District Court for further consideration in light of Roman Catholic Diocese of Brooklyn v. Cuomo,” the Supreme Court’s landmark Nov. 25 ruling that blocked New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, a Democrat, from enforcing restrictions on attendance at houses of worship in an effort
