Justice Roberts Trashes 1st Amendment: Supreme Court Rejects Nevada Church’s Challenge to Shutdown Restrictions

Turncoat Roberts is a nightmare. This is a first amendment right – plain and simple. You can gamble but you can’t go to church. You can burn down cities but you can’t go to church?

Justice Roberts Trounces On 1st Amendment! Supreme Court Rejects Nevada Church’s Challenge to Shutdown Restrictions

By Eric Thompson, July 25, 2020:

The Judicial Branch’s responsibilities are to ensure that laws passed and enforced are Constitutional, that evildoers are punished and all American citizens have equal rights, but not elevated or new ones.

As progressives have chipped away at the supremacy of the current language in these documents, and because of the dominance of Marxist leaning educators influencing our youth, a growing number of Americans now believe the US Constitution is outdated and as a living document, must be re-interpreted to accommodate our twenty-first century’s “new norms”.

Our nation’s founders, especially the anti-Federalists, feared the growth of the federal government, who had the power to strip away personal liberties. After reviewing the language of the newly signed Constitution, this group demanded amendments to it, enshrining the rights they wanted to ensure could not be taken away by future generations.

In spite of all their efforts, including adding the 10 Bill Of Rights, narcissistic judges have in effect modified the Constitution by allowing laws that violate some of its tenants to stand.

The author and signers of the Bill Of Rights listed, what I believe they saw as the preeminent core freedoms they wanted to be protected, in The First Amendment.

“Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof, or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press, or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.”

The Supreme Court by a 5-4 vote, again proved my point that our ideological divisions in America have infiltrated the Judicial Branch too. Chief Justice John Roberts ruled with the 4 progressives on the court, who have expressed the need to update the Constitution as a living document, to squash the First Amendment again. Justice Roberts’s progressive view, which allows the rejections of the implied requirement of religious protections, wrote in reply to a similar CA case – State officials must have the flexibility to make judgments about public health.

From NY Times

The Supreme Court on Friday rejected a request from a church in Nevada to block enforcement of state restrictions on attendance at religious services.

The vote was 5 to 4, with Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. joining the court’s four more liberal members to form a majority.

The court’s brief order was unsigned and gave no reasons, which is typical when the justices act on emergency applications. The court’s four more conservative members filed three dissents, totaling 24 pages.

Calvary Chapel Dayton Valley in Dayton, Nev., argued that the state treated houses of worship less favorably than it did casinos, restaurants and amusement parks. Those businesses have been limited to 50 percent of their fire-code capacities, while houses of worship have been subject to a flat 50-person limit.

Justice Samuel A. Alito Jr., in a dissent joined by Justices Clarence Thomas and Brett M. Kavanaugh, wrote that the distinction made no sense.

“The Constitution guarantees the free exercise of religion,” he wrote. “It says nothing about the freedom to play craps or blackjack, to feed tokens into a slot machine or to engage in any other game of chance. But the governor of Nevada apparently has different priorities.”

“A public health emergency does not give governors and other public officials carte blanche to disregard the Constitution for as long as the medical problem persists,” Justice Alito wrote.

“That Nevada would discriminate in favor of the powerful gaming industry and its employees may not come as a surprise,” he wrote, “but this court’s willingness to allow such discrimination is disappointing.”

When Jorge Booshie appointed Roberts, as Chief Justice, I was surrounded by people that were cheering …. “Conservative. Conservative. Conservative” And were drinking a cup of cheer.

When I pointed out, to them, that only time would tell, but I had serious misgivings, due to Roberts being a member of the church of rome.

I didn’t take any wagers. But, they would never have paid.

I don’t remember him being a liberal till Trump came along… He is part of the Bush establishment and hates Trump. I also wonder what Obama had on him.

I believe that it was a first, historically, that a Supreme Court Justice actually changed the wording a law, from “fee” to “tax”, during that church of rome’s Chief Justice selling out America, to obimbo.

Impeachment. The last, and I believe only time, was in 1804 when Samuel Chase was impeached. The House brought the charge of ‘arbitrary, oppressive, and unjust’ partisanship.

He wasn’t convicted by the Senate.

So, much ado about nothing.

Most of it had to do with Jefferson’s bribing reporters and newspapers.

Jefferson was a Democrat Party member. And, just as Democrat Party members of today, he was as crooked as a dog’s hind leg.

You sound like a Left Wingnut Regressive (Democrat Party member).

ONLY THROUGH RETIREMENT, SICKNESS, THEY QUIT OR ARE IMPEACHED CAN THEY BE REMOVED. THAT POSITION IS FOR LIFE . THE ONLY POSITION IN OUR REPUBLICAN SYSTEM OF GOVERNMENT THAT IS A LIFE TIME APPOINTMENT.

Looks like these “conservative” judges are taking turns shredding our Constitution. Kavenaugh is a coward and rejected a case they should have heard, Gorsuch redefined trannies to fit into the 1964 Civil Rights Act.

There is no way in hell in those days they meant anything but an unaltered male and an unaltered female to be covered under that Act. Trannies are emotionally disturbed people and FEELINGS don’t define your biological sex. So now we cater and legitimize emotionally and mentally people are normal…

NO, this is not normal and never will be normal!
I don’t care if facts hurts your feelings either. This hurts my eyes and brain.

Chief Injustice Roberts must resign over his involvement in the coup against President Trump. He was involved in approving the fraudulent FISA warrants against the Trump campaign.

Whether he knew or not, he is responsible for the abuse happening under him and must resign.

Hi, Fount. I never thought about it, like that. However, all FISA court justices are appointed by the Chief Justice. Again, that relationship never crossed my mind.

You are correct, any that were appointed by Roberts; he’s fully responsible for them.

I PERSONALLY BELIEVE THAT JUSTICE ROBERTS WAS NEVER A REAL CONSERVATIVE BUT A SUPPORTER AND RINO ENABLER OF THE GEORGE SOROS-IAN GLOBALIST BANKING CLIQUE WHO ARE IN LEAGUE WITH MAOIST CHINA TO BRING ABOUT THEIR NEW WORLD ORDER USING THE COVID PESTILENCE! THIS DECISION SETS A DANGEROUS PRECEDENT WHEREBY CHURCHES AS RELIGIOUS ORGS AREN’T CONSTITUTIONALLY PROTECTED LIKE THEY SHOULD BE!
JUSTICE ROBERTS SUPPORTED OBAMACARE! HE IS A COG IN THE GLOBALIST BANKING CLIQUE’S WHEEL THAT KEEPS TURNING LEFT NO MATTER HOW THE DRIVER-PRES. TRUMP TRIES TO MOVE THE COUNTRY RIGHT! A HOUSE DIVIDED AGAINST ITSELF CAN’T STAND NOR A CAR MOVE RIGHT WHILE THE COGS OF THE WHEEL TURN THE CAR LEFT!
ROBERTS IS A REAL PROBLEM AND SYMBOLIZES THE DUBYA BUSH ADMINISTRATION THAT DID SOME GOOD THINGS BUT WAS SO SKEWED TOWARD MAOIST CHINA IN ITS TRADE POLICIES, ETC THAT THE WAY WAS PAVED FOR THE OBAMA IN 2008! THE RINOS ARE OPENLY COLLABORATING AGAINST PRES. TRUMP TODAY WITH THE FISA WARRANTS OF ROBERTS PART OF A DISTURBING PATTERN WITH HIM!
THIS IS ONE REASON IT WILL BE A VERY CLOSE, CRITICAL ELECTION AS I’VE BEEN SAYING! WE TRUE BELIEVER REPUBLICANS CAN THANK OUR METAPHYSICAL STARS THAT VP DEMENTIA DADDY JOE BRIBE’M/BIDEN IS SO MESSED UP! SUPER SUMMER & MARVELOUS MONDAY!

I don’t know if that’s true or not, but one thing is, Roberts can’t be indicted. He’s untouchable.

In retrospect it took Trump getting elected for us to recognize the RINOs and globalists posing as conservatives. BushII is basically a globalist like his Dad. So it is no surprise that Roberts is behaving to type.

Read some of Foxes book of martyrs that reveals the true spirit and fruit of Roberts’ church headquartered in Rome. The book is public domain and easily accessible on the internet. It should leave little wonder as to why Catholics can be so subtly vile while believing God approves. (Jn.16:2-3)
