It got little coverage in the Mainstream Media, but the Supreme Court on Friday ruled 6-3 that Santa Clara County, California, officials cannot forbid churches in the Silicon Valley region from holding in-person worship services.Chief Justice John Roberts joined with justices Amy Coney Barrett, Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito, Brett Kavanaugh and Neil Gorsuch in striking down Gov. Gavin Newsom’s Tier 1 ban on indoor worship services. The majority also singled out the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, noting that its “failure to grant relief was erroneous.â€Liberal justice Elena Kagan, Stephen Breyer and Sonia Sotomayor dissented.Newsom’s order did not bar people from shopping at Big Box stories like Walmart, Costco and Safeway, or liquor stores and multiple other businesses....“This is another great victory for California against the governor’s draconian orders,†said Liberty Counsel Founder and Chairman Mat Stover (sic). “However, the U.S. Supreme Court has already issued the Constitutional roadmap, and Governor Gavin Newsom’s total ban on worship has come to an end. Yet, the lower courts continue to ignore this. Liberty Counsel will continue to press this case until religious freedom is totally restored.â€
