The U.S. Supreme Court ruled on Thursday against California Gov. Gavin Newsom’s (D) restrictions on indoor worship services, agreeing with religious groups they are unconstitutional.

The High Court granted a petition from Harvest Rock Church in Pasadena that sought to overturn a lower court’s ruling in favor of Newsom’s restrictions.

The ruling cited the Supreme Court’s decision last week in a similar case in which it ruled in favor of faith groups that challenged New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s (D) worship restrictions.

Liberty Counsel, which represented Harvest Rock Church, noted that Newsom’s restrictions are “more severe than those in New York.”

“Governor Gavin Newsom’s orders ban ALL in-person worship for 99.1 percent of Californians,” the nonprofit litigation firm stated, adding that while Newsom has banned the majority of in-person religious services, “warehouses, big box centers, shopping malls, liquors stores, family entertainment and destination centers, gyms, fitness centers, and museums receive preferential treatment with either no capacity limits or no numerical limits.” . . .

The Supreme Court did not rule definitively against Gov. Newsom’s indoor worship ban. It suspended the ban temporarily and remanded the case to the 9th Circuit for reconsideration in the light of the New York case. Although there is a good chance that the 9th Circuit will rule against Newsom, it has not happened yet. I hope they do rule against Newsom, because the ban was inconsistent in how it was applied.

It didn’t have to (in effect they did though).

They already ruled against Cuomo’s authoritarianism.

Newsom just would not apply it to his situation.
This takes care of that “issue”.
