The U.S. Supreme Court on Wednesday night blocked New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo from reimposing strict attendance caps at worship services in areas hit hard by the novel coronavirus.
The court ruled 5-4 to bar Cuomo from enforcing his Oct. 6 “Cluster Initiative” against houses of worship that sued to challenge the restrictions.
The order was also the first in which Justice Amy Coney Barrett played a decisive role. Barrett, who was President Trump's third Supreme Court nominee, joined the court Oct. 27, after winning Senate confirmation following the Sept. 18 death of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg.
The Supreme Court is right. If you're going to ignore crowded beaches and openly accept crowded BLM protests but then turn around and say "You Jews! No gathering!" you're being unfair and that's illegal.
ReplyDeleteThat doesn't mean gathering in shuls is right. Frankly, this is the same as when the Agudah defended Rubashkin's meat as being strictly kosher because worker and animal maltreatment had no relevance to the kashrus of the product. But that didn't mean Rubashkin was suddenly a good person.
