Roberts disappoints again – but he’s a RINO pick so we’ve gotten used to it.

ConeyBarrett, on the other hand, is everything of the sort.

SCOTUS Slaps Down Cuomo’s Restrictions on NY Worshipers

Breitbart News, November 26, 2020:

The U.S. Supreme Court granted an injunction Wednesday evening against New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s restrictions on religious services in a 5-4 decision that saw Justice Amy Coney Barrett with the conservative majority — and Chief Justice John Roberts siding with the liberal minority.

The Court was responding to a request for an emergency injunction by the Roman Catholic Diocese of Brooklyn and the Agudath Israel of America, an Orthodox Jewish group, against restrictions limiting services to ten people in some areas and 25 people in others.

In early October, Cuomo openly threatened to “close the synagogues” if they did not comply with his orders.

The decision read, in part:

Citing a variety of remarks made by the Governor, Agudath Israel argues that the Governor specifically targeted the Orthodox Jewish community and gerrymandered the boundaries of red and orange zones to ensure that heavily Orthodox areas were included. Both the Diocese and Agudath Israel maintain that the regulations treat houses of worship much more harshly than comparable secular facilities. And they tell us without contradiction that they have complied with all public health guidance, have implemented additional precautionary measures, and have operated at 25% or 33% capacity for months without a single outbreak.

The applicants have clearly established their entitlement to relief pending appellate review. They have shown that their First Amendment claims are likely to prevail, that denying them relief would lead to irreparable injury, and that granting relief would not harm the public interest.

In a red zone, while a synagogue or church may not admit more than 10 persons, businesses categorized as “essential” may admit as many people as they wish. And the list of “essential” businesses includes things such as acupuncture facilities, camp grounds, garages, as well as many whose services are not limited to those that can be regarded as essential, such as all plants manufacturing chemicals and microelectronics and all transportation facilities.

Stemming the spread of COVID–19 is unquestionably a compelling interest, but it is hard to see how the challenged regulations can be regarded as “narrowly tailored.” They are far more restrictive than any COVID–related regulations that have previously come be- fore the Court,2 much tighter than those adopted by many other jurisdictions hard-hit by the pandemic, and far more severe than has been shown to be required to prevent the spread of the virus at the applicants’ services.

Members of this Court are not public health experts, and we should respect the judgment of those with special expertise and responsibility in this area. But even in a pandemic, the Constitution cannot be put away and forgotten.

Justice Neil Gorsuch issued a concurring opinion, as did Justice Brett Kavanaugh.

Roberts wrote a dissenting opinion in which he noted that the governor had changed the restrictions the day after the lawsuit was filed. Justice Kavanaugh, however, pointed out that the underlying executive order was still in effect, meaning the governor needed to be constrained from changing the regulations again pending the outcome of the lawsuit.

Justices Stephen Breyer, Elena Kagan, and Sonia Sotomayor joined in a dissent that cited the severity of the coronavirus pandemic and the Court’s traditional deference to local officials on matters involving scientific expertise.

Kagan and Sotomayor also issued a separate dissent.

Gov. Cuomo received an international Emmy award this week, as Hollywood celebrated his leadership in the coronavirus pandemic.

It is truly sad to see that Chief Justice John Roberts is so compromised. Whatever the left has on him, and it must be ‘huge’, certainly one of the good guys must know about as well. Why can’t that information just be gotten out there to the public once and for all. Thankfully with ACB we now have a 5-4 majority of conservative justices (even while not all 5 of them have proven to be 100% reliable, but close enough).
Chief Justice Roberts is no question part and parcel of the leftist minority on the bench and it’s an utter disgrace.
In other words, 6-3 majority my foot!

It’s kind of our fault too. Bush was right at the edge, time-wise, that we began to learn of the deep state. It obviously flourished under Obozo but this came from Mr. Deep State himself George W Bush. So looking back, yeah we shouldn’t be so surprised. Those NWO loser’s have been trying to screw us forever; now we see completely. When Roberts was being confirmed we still had blinders on and didn’t know how much our Gov’t (Both sides!) were working against us. Justice Roberts can be our footnote of when and where the Deep State started to reveal itself. It is very obvious his vote will never be constitutionally based. He will do as told. From now on, just discount him as a loser and never, ever expect his vote on anything truly conservative. Actually simply just call him a liberal, as he is, and go into any future situations knowing that we will never ever be able to count on his vote. Don’t be surprised anymore; none of us should have been. God Bless you all and Happy Thanksgiving!! 🙂

obama used the compromised cia,dia,fbi to gather dirt on as many politicians,judges as possible before he left office, obama was elected by using illegal dirt on Jack Ryan to get elected to the senate so he got his first political office by using illegally obtained information to start his political career and never stopped using illegally obtained information to blackmail and pull dirty tricks. He has the dirt on Roberts.

It’s not sad. It is enraging that we didn’t recognise GW for what he reekly was. Of course, he kept it fairly well hidden behind the Iraq war, until he and his whole clan were exposed, when they all voted for Hillary Clinton.

Brenner and Comey was “spying” on him. collecting info. Probably a friend of Epstein. Scalia died under suspicious circumstances. This vein of deceit runs deep and wide. No one is under control. corrupt with power and their own world view. You know those pricks will b e bought back on 6 figure government payroll.

Let freedom reign! Enough with the fake pandemic. Time to get back to life.

Chief Justice Roberts sanctioned the Trump Conspiracy. He oversees the FISA court and gave his blessing to those fake applications. He should be forced to resign or be terminated for his actions.

Just look at Robert’s eyes; the man is insane and consumed with irrational hatred.

In the dissenting opinion, it was noted that the Constitution is overridden by little tyrannical despots, such as little mikki da-whiner.

I couldn’t find “science” referenced within said document (The Constitution of the United States of America). I must have an outdated copy.

Justice Roberts is a wolf in sheep’s clothing and has always been. I never understood why the Democrats fought against his nomination when it was pretty obvious going through the hearings he was more left leaning then center or right.

“Gov. Cuomo received an international Emmy award this week, as Hollywood celebrated his leadership in the coronavirus pandemic.” Really. What else needs to be said. The Emmy’s was already nothing. It’s now downgraded to garbage status. I hope the Emmy’s shows get very low ratings. Maybe Hollywood will get the message that many Americans are sick and tired, not ony of what is coming out of Hollywood but, how Hollywood must present awards to itself and project that to the world how important we’re supposed to think they are. Nah, Hollywood will never get it.

We really need an age limit on that Court.
