What do you think of this? Religion before logic? Not surprising but still...
News Alert: Supreme Court sides with religious groups in a dispute over Covid-19 restrictions in New York
In a 5-4 ruling, the Supreme Court sided with religious organizations in a dispute over Covid-19 restrictions put in place by New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo that limited attendance at religious services.
The case is the latest pitting religious groups against city and state officials seeking to stop the spread of Covid-19 and highlights the impact of Justice Amy Coney Barrett on the Court. It comes as Covid-19 related cases are spiking across the country.
In the late-night ruling, Barrett sided with the conservatives in the dispute, while Chief Justice John Roberts joined the three liberal justices in dissent. The ruling underscores Barrett's impact on the bench, reflecting the Court's rightward shift.
So people - including SCOTUS - believe that it's more important that they gather in what could be superspreader events in order to give thanks to a god most of them, if pressed, probably really don't believe in and are there just to make up the faith numbers, for what exactly, than to remain safe? If God exists, do they not think he she or it would prefer them to be alive and worshipping in their own way than dead because they flouted state regs meant to protect them?
If you ever needed an illustration of the bone-headed stupidity and stubbornness of religious people, this is it. I bet when interviewed most said "If it's God's will I die..."
Well I hope you do, you crowd of gob****es.
