Good news!
The Supreme Court ruled that California can’t ban in-home religious services by a 5-4 majority.
Of course, Chief Justice John Roberts sided with the liberals.
Just The News reported:
The U.S. Supreme Court ruled late Friday night that California cannot ban in-home religious services while allowing other similar activities in the secular world, once again ruling in favor of religious liberty in the midst of the coronavirus pandemic.
The 5-4 ruling was led by the court’s most conservative justices, including newest member Amy Coney Barrett, while Chief Justice John Robert’s once again joined the liberal bloc as he has during the COVID-19 outbreak.
“California treats some comparable secular activities more favorably than at-home religious exercise, permitting hair salons, retail stores, personal care services, movie theaters, private suites at sporting events and concerts and indoor restaurants,” the majority opinion stated.

In early February, the Supreme Court allowed in-person worship to resume in California. Although it was only at 25% capacity.
California’s handling of the pandemic has been a disaster.
California Governor Gavin Newsom tyrannically restricted what California residents could and couldn’t do while not following his own rules.
Californians are beginning to fight back.
Organizers of a group to oust Newsom say that they have the votes to recall him.
A vote is expected to take place this fall.
