Supreme Court blocks strict COVID-19 restrictions on some New York houses of worship
Thursday, 26 November 2020 13:06
The Supreme Court has voted to ban New York from reimposing limits on religious gatherings in the state amid rising coronavirus infections, a decision that highlights the influence of recently appointed justice Amy Coney Barrett.
Justices voted 5-4 against New York governor Andrew Cuomo, who has proposed putting a cap on the number of people that can attend religious services. The decision marks a shift in the court's handling of coronavirus-related restrictions and underscores its solidified right-leaning majority.
Justice Barrett, who was controversially appointed to the bench by outgoing president Donald Trump, sided with four of her conservative colleagues in the vote, while chief justice John Roberts joined three liberal justices in dissent.
