Supreme Court sides with Colorado church, NJ religious leaders over state coronavirus restrictions
The Supreme Court gave temporary victories to a Colorado church and New Jersey religious leaders that challenged their respective states coronavirus restrictions on the number of people allowed at prayer services, vacating lower court rulings and calling for the cases to be reconsidered after the court shot down similar prohibitions in New York. In the Colorado case, the High Plains Harvest Church sought an injunction against the state’s limits on the number of people allowed at services and the Supreme Court granted the relief in a 6-3 decision.The three liberal justices opposed Tuesday’s ruling in a dissent authored by Justice Elena Kagan, arguing that the case was moot because Colorado had already lifted the restrictions.
