The Supreme Court on Tuesday sided with a Colorado church challenging COVID-19 restrictions on capacity limits for services.High Plains Harvest Church brought the legal battle to the high court, asking for an injunction to halt the state’s requirement of 50 people or less for services while not enforcing the same capacity limits on secular businesses.The court filing noted protests with massive amounts of people were permitted under the First Amendment, but the state is not providing the same constitutional right for churches....The justices, though, granted the injunctive relief to the church Tuesday, citing an earlier case out of New York where the high court ruled in favor of the Catholic Church, which protested Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s COVID-19 orders directed at houses of worship....The high court, also on Tuesday, struck a blow to New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy’s restrictions, limiting houses of worship to 25% capacity. The order granted an injunction in a challenge brought by Jewish synagogue and Christian church leaders.
