In a narrow 5-4 ruling, the Supreme Court of the United States overruled the Ninth Circuit for a fifth time on COV restrictions, rejecting California’s ban on in-home religious services.
They sided with a group of Santa Clara residents who said the ban violated their First and Fourteenth Amendment rights.
As usual, Justice Roberts sided with the liberal/leftist jurors. When it comes to freedom, Justice Roberts is on the side of tyrants.
“Applicants are likely to succeed on the merits of their free exercise claim; they are irreparably harmed by the loss of free exercise rights ‘for even minimal periods of time’; the State has not shown that ‘public health would be imperiled’ by employing less restrictive measures,” an unsigned opinion of the court’s majority said in its opinion.
“It is unsurprising that such litigants are entitled to relief. California’s Blueprint System contains myriad exceptions and accommodations for comparable activities, thus requiring the application of strict scrutiny,” the majority wrote on Friday.
Justices Samuel Alito, Clarence Thomas, Brett Kavanaugh, Neil Gorsuch, and Amy Coney Barrett made up the majority.
Roberts didn’t sign the dissent.
Kagan said she would have rejected the application for relief because she felt the state complied with the First Amendment in its limiting religious gatherings in homes to three households since the state had the same restrictions on secular gatherings in homes.

Red States will ignore HR-1 and I suspect at least half the Blue States will too. The Reset is coming and life in America will not be good for a Democrat because the majority of Americans have now realized that the Democrat Partly is really the American Communist Party. When you take away people’s Liberty they get really upset and Democrats stole Liberty from 75,000,000 Adult Americans and are now trying to give our country to Illegal Alien Invaders.
Power IS the name of the game…The “illegal” caravan invaders are now even sporting “I love biden” T shirts…they should love the retard…he’s giving them YOUR money…and destroying YOUR country…No borders = No Country…
I love Mafia nicknames and Roberts the RAT is a good one.
Please clap for the Shrub clan and free taco bowls of love.
If we ever get another true conservative as our president we need to convince the actual leftist John Backstabber Roberts out of the Supreme Court. Of course that will never happen if the unconstitutional HR-1 ever becomes law and states don’t file a 10th Amendment lawsuit against it or if they do, the Supreme Court deems it Constitutional. Of course we know how Roberts will vote.
Then, Kagan said she felt the state complied with the First Amendment in its limiting religious gatherings in homes to three households since the state had the same restrictions on secular gatherings in homes. Sorry,
woman, the state has no right to limit or otherwise restrict any kind of gatherings, religious or secular, in homes. What is it about the 1st Amendment or private property don’t you jerks understand?
It has been well demonstrated that all elections in California are rigged by their voting machines and ballot harvesting. Any and all actions taken by their governor and legislature are null and void on the grounds they were made or gained by fraud.
