A sharply divided Supreme Court late Friday turned aside a church's urgent plea that California's coronavirus lockdown orders are putting an unconstitutional burden on religious freedom.
Chief Justice John Roberts sided with the court's liberals in rejecting a San Diego church's request for relief from Gov. Gavin Newsom's most recent directive limiting churches to 25% of their normal maximum capacity, with an absolute maximum of 100 people at any service.

So Roberts thinks it's a bill of suggestions for the government?
Time for him to retire, along with his leftard fellow travelers on the court..

The pastor and his members (or anybody willing to join the struggle) should just go to church; they don't need no stinkin' Supreme Court. Civil disobedience seems to be the perfect act here. They could also put it back on the governor and issue an edict, as citizens who elected him and pay his salary, that his job is not essential and that he must cease issuing edicts and open California, and then move as if it's open once their decree is issued. They have about as much right as the governor, at this point, to issue edicts. We have so many illegalities coming from politicians that it's time to put it back on them; let them see what it's like to be under the tyranny of the masses. When the wicked are in power, the people groan. This is America; we don't just groan; we fight back. That used to be our DNA.

I think the Swamp is surging at the foundation of the Supreme Court.

We can assume Obama has had some real dirt on this "gentleman" from early on. At some point you would think his conscious would win the fight and allow him to stand up for America and the Constitution, regardless of the consequences.

IIRC, all of the present members of the Supreme Court have gone to Harvard or Yale. It's long past time for us to look elsewhere.

Judge Roberts continues to stain the record of George W. Bush.

All Roberts is saying is that religion is no different than any other business and must follow the same arbitrary rules. What makes no sense to sports fans should equally make no sense to the religious.

It is the season of protests. Ask yourself: do you need that building to worship? Really? Is God only in that place?
Get the congregation into their cars, go to a free and open parking lot (Walmart, e.g.) open your windows and sing in unison. Play musical instruments if you have them. Make a joyful noise. I'll be others in the lot will join you and you will have made a difference.

George Bush’s record didn’t need just Roberts to stain it. He was a sorry prez altogether. His worst statement, to me, was that “Islam-is-a-religion-of-peace” horsethit. That guaranteed we weren’t going to win against Islamic terrorism. He created Homeland Security ( another bureaucracy). Now we got government gropers, probers, snoopers, and peepers at every major airport, focused on treating us, the general public, as potential terrorists, instead of the real deals!
Thanks, George. Enjoy your retirement.
P.S; As for all the justices having come from Harvard or Yale (Bush’s alma mater), can we look at grads from Hillsdale College or any of the other schools not beholden to federal money?

This ruling proves there is no separation of Church and State. The State tells the Church what it can and cannot do. Welcome to pre-1776.

I despise the weasel eyed John Roberts, who was made by the devil, and lives to stab people in the back.

Roberts has turned into Souter, who went over to the dark side, too.
What a worthless waste of skin.

Roberts doesn’t believe in the constitution. He already bastardized the commerce clause. What’s next?

Perhaps George II would like to stand up and defend the Faith and the Constitution for America seeing his apparently "Laodicean" choice has lost his way? Or is George Bush satisfied? Any other silent republicans finding it "hard to kick against the goads?" We can only be defeated by ourselves and our willfully chosen apostate leaders.

I think Roberts did this to spite Trump. How dare he get to declare churches essential? Roberts thinks that’s the Court’s job. Again, very disappointed in him.
