The Supreme Court struck down California’s in-person church gathering ban late last night, and it has the Left in an absolute tizzy. The Court found the ban to be discriminatory and arbitrary, using a former case as precedent to say that the government cannot give an exemption to a secular field and not apply it to religious institutions. That’s in relation to Gov. Gavin Newsom allowing things like celebrity book signings and movie production to happen while he claimed going to church was too dangerous.
These are Amy Coney Barrett's first published words as a justice.

Joined by Kavanaugh, she took the "moderate" position by endorsing all of Gorsuch's (quite extreme) attacks of the California COVID restrictions, minus the singing ban. https://t.co/A6i2HsEhK2 pic.twitter.com/ffOkyGtXlC
Five justices endorsed the "most favored nation" theory of free exercise—that the presence of ANY secular exemption to a law triggers strict scrutiny when that law is applied to religious exercise. This is basically the end of Employment Division v. Smith.https://t.co/IEQd9IWM4a

It should had been 6 judges but I didn't saw Judge Roberts name defending our religion freedom he still reported to George W Bush and all the never Trumpers
there you persecution is going to be the norm here in America sooner than we think
Installment of radical leftism in the Court under the guise of balanced inclusion is irrational, contradictory, and suicidal to the Republic.
This issue should have been unanimous in Californias Constitutional violation of the freedom to worship, and its unconstitutional promotion of the humanist religion called secularism.
A government can never win against God almighty.
Has anyone wondered why kids cannot go to school but thousands of ILLEGALS ae coming acros our borders (did not see any masks) and some have covid and are being put up in a hotel at our expense to quarantine them. Of course any hospitalizations are at our expense. While Americans are suffering this is what the Demorats do.
They ran around burning the country down during the Bio-arrack the C.C.P. sent our way also!!!.............And STILL ARE!!!!
I don't wonder about any of this. Call it socialism/progressivism/communism - it is all the same thing. Voting for Biden, even though he won by cheating, was a criminal thing to do.
