The Supreme Court’s new conservative majority late Wednesday night sided with religious organizations in New York that said they were illegally targeted by pandemic-related restrictions imposed by Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo to combat spiking coronavirus cases.

The 5 to 4 order was the first show of solidified conservative strength on the court since the confirmation of Justice Amy Coney Barrett, who replaced liberal Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg. The decision differed from the court’s previous practice of deferring to local officials on pandemic-related restrictions, even in the area of constitutionally protected religious rights.
“Even in a pandemic, the Constitution cannot be put away and forgotten,” the unsigned opinion granting a stay of the state’s orders said. “The restrictions at issue here, by effectively barring many from attending religious services, strike at the very heart of the First Amendment’s guarantee of religious liberty.”

Keep Prayin folk

Not surprising, but a good sign. Maybe we now have 5 justices who will take what the constitution says seriously. Roberts can't be depended on.

I think SCOTUS will soon get an election case. Then we will see what happens.

sure the hell hope so... and they do what's right...

its evident as hell, Biden couldn't come near on votes as Trump got..

and its is obvious that a Mongoloid could figure out the demo' RATS cheated with all the fraudulent tricks they could think up...

I hope it is decided Trump won the election and I also hope over the next 4 years there are a lot of demo 'RATS that were tried and found guilty of election Fraud and they are put behind bars for 10 plus years.... in every state in the USA...

Seafire,

I have feeling mail in ballots are done. If this gets to the Supreme Court which I’m sure it will. I’m hoping the conservative judges rule mail in ballots unconstitutional because states cannot guarantee the integrity of the vote. Which will make Oregon rewrite what it does for elections.

Praise Jesus for the Majority



WTF is wrong with Roberts?

You gotta wonder if he is the John Roberts on the manifest for the lolita express.

Worth remembering: Someone with more knowledge of legal history may correct me, but as I understand it, conservative justices tend to follow the constitution, but they also tend to stay inside the lines of case before them. It is against their nature to rule on questions that aren't asked. Contrast this with liberals who will jump at the chance to change something they have been wanting to change if someone will just ask a question (bring a case) that gets them close enough to "make the jump."

This is why lawyers with an agenda, both liberal and conservative, are careful to bring cases that pose the questions they want to be asked and answered.

My point is that just any "election case" may not have the desired overall result. It may take more than one case, or at least the right case, and so far we haven't gotten anything in front of them.

All that said, at least we have a good number of conservative justices, and I'm hoping as much as anyone else hereabouts.

Roberts is a neocon sock puppet. It really is no more complicated than that.

I think he's a pedophile and the dumocrats have the goods on him.

This.

[bleep] that backstabber Roberts.

I think this is very true.

A Bush appointment.

Yep.

As a whole, (all of the justices)... I just don't trust them.

No further than I could throw them.

Individually, I trust 2-3, but that's it.

He might of been to Epstein island and got caught. Hopefully the truths are revealed.

Not a Roberts fan at all, glad he is not needed

I really wish the truth would come out about Roberts,,,
How many times will he do this?

5-4??? Jeeez.. SHOULD be 9-0 on that case... WTH???

What part of free exercise of religion and freedom of peaceful assembly don't they understand?

..and Robert's said they are not political. Bull$h!t. There seams to be always a 4.



Note: Did I use the correct spelling of There?

I've always felt our justice system is very skewed to begin with


The US Constitution is clearly written in laymen's words. It's lawyers who have fugged it up. The entire premise of case law is anti Constitutional. Either the case at hand falls within the wording or it doesn't. There is no need to contiousky research case law of previous cases


That the US has 7 percent of the World's population and 88 percent of the world's lawyers should be telling that. That profession needs a culling

That is a good sign. Way to go Amy

My biggest fear is that we get a bunch of favorable rulings and then a loss on the election case, just like they did around the time of the original Obamacare case.

Roberts....another gift from that worthless piece of sheet George w Bush.

If I were a betting man, I'd take that wager.

The same misunderstanding they have regarding "...shall not be infringed."

The Constitution. Complicated stuff.

Looking back I can’t think of anything good coming out of the bush presidency other than it was not gore.

GW gave us Benedict Roberts, but he also gave us Samuel Alito. That's not to say I have unquestionable faith in Alito, but so far he's been pretty good and maybe some day he'll have a track record like Clarence Thomas.

Reagan gave us O'Connor, Scalia and Kennedy. He also elevated Renquist from Associate Justice to Chief Justice. Scalia, of course, was the gold standard and so was Rehnquist who was nominated by Nixon.

George H. W. Bush gave us Souter and Clarence Thomas. I've said this before, but when a Republican nominates a judge for SCOTUS, flip a coin. When a Democrat nominates, they get exactly what they're looking for.

As long as he's there...........................

MM

Yep an establishment swamp creature simply looking out for whats best for him and the other swampers...Constitution be damned!

Well phugg that
