How dare he maintain a legal stance?Conservative lawmakers blasted Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts after he sided with the court's liberal justices in a 5-4 decision Friday that rejected a Nevada church’s request to block the state government from enforcing a cap on attendance at religious services.
Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) tweeted early Saturday morning that Roberts had "abandoned his oath."
"What happened to that judge?" tweeted Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.).
The Hill
Cotton is the one who got it wrong."Freedom of religion is our first freedom. Yet SCOTUS has ruled that casinos can host hundreds of gamblers, while churches cannot welcome their full congregations. Justice Roberts once again got it wrong, shamefully closing church doors to their flocks," Cotton added in a statement.
Always crying victim, when in fact churches get special privileges in our country.The decision strikes down a suit from Calvary Chapel Dayton Valley, which argued that it was being treated unfairly compared to other businesses in the state.
Pretty sure they won't stop complaining.Defending its imposed restrictions, Nevada stated that its regulations didn't target places of worship unfairly, saying that other large gatherings — like concerts and movie theaters — were treated “the same as or worse than houses of worship.”
The complaint made its way to the highest court in the land after being rejected by a district court and a circuit court.
They'll be demanding his head.This is the second case that Roberts has ruled against a lawsuit of a church challenging a capacity restriction during the pandemic.
...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
