Gorsuch with a funny dissent

And no one in the media reported on this.....this is written to where even Hank Johnson might be able to understand it.

Gorsuch is right. There standard is not applied evenly and as a result, it makes it so you can gamble or watch movies in public but not worship God, which is supposed to be Constitutionally protected.

Frankly, I'm over the love affair with Gorsuch. He writes a good, short opinion every now and then, but people forget he literally just judicially updated Title VII and declared half of Oklahoma as Indian Territory.

He's going to be battling the Chief soon for crossover awards.

It’s not funny, it’s dead on correct.

Here is the opinion from a similar case two months before with the same outcome. What states realize is that you can‘t tell people how to worship and enforce that because that would be unconstitutional. Instead they are limiting occupancy and letting people worship however they want. States can write Governors orders for restaurants on all kinds of required safety measures and fine businesses if they fail to follow those orders. There’s no way for government to tell a church to not drink from a shared cup and fine them for doing so.

It’s a pragmatic decision. The court doesn’t want to approve an injunction for emergency orders during a pandemic when churches are still allowed to operate.
