The as SCOTUS finally upheld the constitution and shot down Cuomo's religious bigotry and discrimination.

As we have seen before Roberts betrays his duty as a judge to uphold the constitution of the US.

Gorsuch put the nail in the coffin of Roberts and Cuomo.

It is a sad day when the court is split on upholding a constitutional right against discrimination and bigotry.
 
As predicted, SCOTUS going off the rails now. Roberts wanted badly to keep the Court insulated from partisan politics, but he has lost his control.

There is no logical comparison between liquor stores which people visit one at a time, and a Church or synagogue which people visit collectively in large numbers. But the conservative justices are not moved by logic, only by ideology.

How is uphold the constitution and shooting down discriminatory policies going off the rail?
you guys are supposed to hate discrimination but here you are supporting it.

yes robert's has lost control of himself the past few rulings. he is off the rails and gas betrayed his oath to uphold and protect the constitution.

Please prove that only 1 person at a time enters a liquor store. you can't. a liquor store has as many people in it as allowed by law.

so a church can have just as many people as allowed by law. the law has to be the same for both churches and liquor stores.

no they were moved by logic and constitutional protections.

your projection fallacies of what you do is not the courts problem it is yours.
 
Then the deaths of those people who get infected with be on SCOTUS' hands
 
You know those Christians like Cuomo. You never can trust them. Thank God we have a Supreme Court to enforce the supremacy of religion over health. Otherwise those Christian governors would run rampant over the rights of decent American church goers.

Obviously, if anyone is inconvenienced more than another, it is unconstitutional. So, we cannot react to the death rate, or the hospitalization rate, or anything else. Including natural disasters. Someone will sue. And with the corporate court now, they will win.

Another 5-4 split in the SC. It is interesting that with the split it shows the Constitution is not black and white when it comes to interpreting it. It show personal bias plays a role. Those that favor removing the limits will say the 5 judges were correct. Those who favor having the limits stay in place will say the minority ruling was correct and the majority opinion was wrong.

For me a 5-4 decision tells me the ruling does not send a strong message that the Governor order over reached.

Come on, is your argument seriously that people attend liquor stores and bike stores in the same fashion they do churches? The fact that Churches are attended by 20, 30, 40, 100, 500 people at once distinguishes them from liquor stores. That you don't acknowledge this is completely on trend for you. That a justice of the Supreme Court does not acknowledge it is a new phenomenon and shameful.

If Cuomo had singled out churches but not secular weddings you might have a point, but those aren't the facts, so you don't.
 
Aren't New York state's casinos open for business since September?

There is a logical comparison between WalMart stores that thousands of people go in every day - all day and night - and a Church or synagogue that has 30 people for 1 hour once a week. But the corporate-fascist justices were only moved by the ideology of greed of the richest people on earth.
 
What we have here is Barrett's dedication to religion trumping the duty of the state to protect its citizens in emergency situations.

What's next? The SC declaring a fire evacuation order unconstitutional because a church objects?

The SC badly needs reforms.

it is black and white 4 judges do not understand what their role is.

actually it does.

the facts are if you allow a business to operate at 50% capacity then you must allow churches. you cannot discriminate.

why do you support discrimination?
the court evidently doesn't.

So when it is 5 that go against your views then the 4 conservative judges are wrong. Like when Roberts sided with the liberal judges on abortion rejecting the Louisiana law, the 4 conservative judges did not understand what their role is. Got it.

it depends on the case and what the constitution says.
the constitutions say that you cannot discriminate against religous organizations.

if you allow public businesses to operate at 50% capacity then you must let churches.

the SCOTUS followed the constitution. it is sad that 4 of the judges don't know the constitution that well and it is worse that the chief justice once again makes up some flim flam excuse to shoot down religous protections that are enshrined in the document he swore to protect.

sorry your projection of what my argument is why you just lost.

You realize that the restriction had been lifted by the time the issue reached the SCOTUS and that three of the four dissenting opinions were on the basis that no judgment against Gov. Cuomo's administration was immediately required?

If the restriction hadn't already been lifted, it might well have been an 8-1 ruling against Gov. Cuomo.

It also is totally irrelevant, since the places in question were suing because they were put under a 'red zone' due to a strong spike in their zip code and they were a covid 19 hot spot. That lasted all of 3 weeks, and then the restrictions were reduced since the new infection rate had been cut in half.

It's called "The Equal Protection Clause". It's in The Constitution. Check it out.

Gorsuch called it when he said it's amazing how the covid rules fall right in line with the Left's secular agenda.

So it's the religious rule then? America has a secular government last I checked. Are we now headed toward a middle east style government where religion plays a key part in our government decisions? It's becoming clear what the motives for Trump's SC justices are. It looks like he's fulfilled some promises to the hardcore Christians of this country. Seems Guiliani is also wanting to bring Trump's election disputes to the SC. I think we know why. They have favors to pay off.

I think we've made a big mistake. This is a safety issue, and even with all these prayers, church staff and members are currently dying from Coronavirus. They need to be protected, just like the general population.

The United States also has a constitution that says two very imoortant things that apply in this case. One is: All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.

The second is:
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

What's been done, is religious gatherings have been held to a different standard than any other group, or entity and there's no arguing that that isn't the case.

Churches used to not be considered businesses, but now they are all becoming a huge tax free money making scheme. They're run by the most anti-religious people in the country and are now awarded bailouts by taxpayer money to beef up the pockets of the anti-religious scammers. They can go to hell
