Democrats are trying really hard to destroy America, but America is still fighting back. We’ve had some losses, but we’re racking up some wins, too, even if they’re coming later than they should’ve. The latest win is a big one, a blow for freedom of religion.
See California Gov. Gavin Newsom singled out churches and places of worship for PUNISHMENT under his oppressive Covid regime, while carving out exceptions for secular leftwing Hollywood. But not anymore.
Steve Ertelt at LifeNews has the details.
Late last night the Supreme Court issued an injunction stopping California’s ban on indoor worship in churches, synagogues, and other houses of worship, that it claimed were dangerous because of the coronavirus.
The Court ruled in two cases, South Bay United Pentecostal Church v. Newsom and Harvest Rock Church v. Newsom. Both churches sued California Governor Gavin Newsom, challenging the state’s total ban on indoor worship services—the most extreme in the nation—which targeted churches for closure while allowing non-essential retail stores such as Macy’s to open to hundreds of customers, as well as hair salons, nail salons, and Hollywood soundstages.
Chief Justice John Roberts, writing for the majority, said that while “federal courts owe significant deference to politically accountable officials” on public health matters, that stance “has its limits.”
Roberts wrote that California’s determination “that the maximum number of adherents who can safely worship in the most cavernous cathedral is zero—appears to reflect not expertise or discretion, but instead insufficient appreciation or consideration of the interests at stake.”
He went on to state that the Constitution “entrusts the protection of the people’s rights to the Judiciary—not despite judges being shielded by life tenure, … but because they are. Deference, though broad, has its limits.”
The Justices wrote several opinions in addition to the Court’s order. Justice Gorsuch, joined by Justices Thomas and Alito, pointing out that California was the only state in the country with a complete ban on indoor worship. Justice Gorsuch also stated that “California no longer asks its movie studios, malls, and manicurists to wait.”

Look y’all, I see the people in the comments who say things like “shoulda been before the election” or “too little too late” on these things. But what would you do, cut off your nose to spite your face? The election is over. You can either still try to restore some semblance of structure and freedom in America, or you can sulk about it forever and we can all stay locked inside.
I say you keep going. You keep working. You celebrate your wins, late or not. America needs to get back to business, get back to worship, get back to liberty. Either you’re on board for that or y’ain’t.
