Supreme Court rejects challenge to limits on church services

challenged state limits on attendance at worship servicesOver the dissent of the four more conservative justices, Chief Justice John Roberts joined the court’s four liberals in turning away a request from the South Bay United Pentecostal Church in Chula Vista, California, in the San Diego area.

The church argued that limits on how many people can attend their services violate constitutional guarantees of religious freedom and had been seeking an order in time for services on Sunday. The church said it has crowds of 200 to 300 people for its services. Roberts wrote in brief opinion that the restriction allowing churches to reopen at 25 percent of their capacity, with no more than 100 worshipers at a time, “appear consistent” with the First Amendment.

Justice Brett Kavanaugh wrote in dissent that the restriction “discriminates against places of worship and in favor of comparable secular businesses. Such discrimination violates the First Amendment.” Kavanaugh pointed to supermarkets, restaurants, hair salons, cannabis dispensaries and other businesses that are not subject to the same restrictions.The court also rejected an appeal from two churches in the Chicago area that objected to Gov.

I'm actually happy about this. People are way to packed in at churches to allow them atm. They should hold starlight services outside or something where people won't be at risk.

It's about time something sensible comes out of the Supreme Court. What is wrong with the other 4?

So thousands can gather in the streets to riot and loot, but my church can only have 100 people. Riot in the church building tomorrow. Let’s loot communion

Game over. We are all subject to our government’s whims.

Good

Disgusting

Pathetic.

Hey people can do as they wish but who in there right mind could be worried about worshipping fictional characters right now with every thing goin on damn

So interesting MSNBC has been bitching about Churches spreading Coronavirus for weeks, but no bitching about looting and spreading virus.

The four douchbag justices I assume are Thomas, Alito, Gorsuch and Cavanaugh.

Anti Christ justice system

Take that Trump.
