In a statement, COVID-19 thanked the Supreme Court for allowing it to roam freely and infect even more people than it already has. https://www.nytimes.com/2020/11/26/us/supreme-court-coronavirus-religion-new-york.html

1. So does this mean non secular places have the same ability to fill up as religious ones? Seems like

... if restrictions were being applied evenly religious affiliations wouldn't come into play

[bigtree]

5. exactly

...just claim religion from now on to evade restrictions, laws, regs..

[Iliyah]

2. The RWer judges just made to worst for us . ..

regarding COVID-19 while they judge from a bubble of security.

[bigtree]

6. right, they're ruling remotely

...from the safety of their homes.

[Cirque du So-What]

3. With a special shout-out

to evangelical megachurches whose congregations insist they are immune due to coverage by the blood. The entire COVID-19 community had a good laugh over that and collectively says, ‘bless your heart. We’ll do the rest.’

[Ninga]

4. THIS! THIS! THIS! Is EXACTLY why we need to expand the SCOTUS! One for each circuit

court.

President Biden needs to see this ruling as foreshadowing, not for good.

[Wounded Bear]

22. Actually, both are at 9...9 SC Justices, 9 Circuit Courts.

Should probably be more of both.

[Ninga]

27. I found this:

13
There are 94 district courts, 13 circuit courts, and one Supreme Court throughout the country. Courts in the federal system work differently in many ways than state courts.

7. We knew Amy

would be the dahlink of the religious zealots.

8. Opus Dei rules the court....

[Martin Eden]

9. My religious group would never ask for such a special privilege

The Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster has more respect than that for societal norms and for the health of its faithful members.

Ramen, Pastafarians.

[Shermann]

14. I'd love to see the Church of the FSM get a case before the Supreme Court over this

Where have they been of late?

[Martin Eden]

17. Our religious faith is more private and spiritual

We tend not to shove it in other people's face.

Religion is like a penis: it's fine to have one, it's fine to be proud of it, but please don't whip it out and start waving it around in public, and please don't try to shove it down my children's throats

[rzemanfl]

24. Stealing that. n/t

[kacekwl]

10. The restrictions don't specifically single out religious gatherings so

why would any court look sideways at their complaint ? These religious freedom crybabies should be impeached from the bench. I hate religious Nazis.

[uponit7771]

13. +1, I've not heard why they say the edict come down harder on religious groups vs any other ...

... non secular groups etc.

[underpants]

11. Praise death and disease

🙏

12. We will revisit this when we get a legally

Constituted bench.

[uponit7771]

15. Just heard on MSNBC the reasoning for justices was there was no evidence that the houses of worship

... lead to spread of CV19

Jus damn

[Shermann]

18. The default position is that any large gatherings without distancing will contribute to spread

The science is pretty clear on that and there is no need to specifically study church buildings.

This is just a shifting of the burden of proof.

I don't have a Juris Doctor degree, but I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night.

[NJCher]

19. What?

there have been many, many cases.

[Delphinus]

30. Thank you

Your comment was much better than the expletives forming in my head.

[TheBlackAdder]

21. What about that church choir in Washington State that led to most of them getting infected?

[uponit7771]

25. +1, not only this I don't believe NY attorneys were that unprepared to give hard evidence on why

... the need to keep large gatherings at a minimum no matter what the setting.

There's more to this ruling than meets the eye imho

[randr]

16. I would think the "Golden Rule" people would be happy to follow their own rules

[Wounded Bear]

23. Ha ha, you're funny!

28. Guy on MSNBC jsut said the same thing about the supreme court saying there was no evidence church or

... religious meetings spread the virus.

I'm hearing the guy right, there's something really wrong with the USSC ruling
