When Christians sit cheek to cheek in the pews they are sure to spread the virus. The pastors want to keep the churches full so they can fill the baskets with cash. If people don't go to church the churches will bankrupt.

I am going to be petitioning my reps to expand the Supreme Court.

I read the court’s ruling. Most of the reporters browsed it and invented their reportage. The Atlantic’s reportage was the most accurate.

The churches and synagogue had been meeting safely and there had been no infections

Cuomo’s first rules allowed only ten people in buildings with seats for up to 700 people and allowed only 25 people in buildings with seats for up to one thousand people.

While the suit was pending, but before the court ruled, Cuomo restored the original much higher limits. The case was actually moot.

The Court majority distrusted Cuomo and prohibited his restoring the 10 and 25 limits..

The chief justice and the three liberals would have allowed Cuomo to reset the lower limits, which would have required the churches and synagogue to file another lawsuit.

With a search on “scotus ny churches text”, you can read the ruling but IT’S NOT AN EASY READ.

Yeah, I too want to close churches and prohibit indoctrination of children, but this lawsuit isn’t about either of those.

I have read things and listened to interviews with/by many nonbelieving lawyers but here is the one I like most that is using a talk with FFRF lawyer Andrew Seidel: [player.fm]

So they kill a few parishioners off. So what! All that counts is they control the purse strings and people's minds after all the smoke clears.
