The decision was 5-4.The church argued that the state policy treated church services differently from other large gatherings including casinos, gyms and restaurants.A lower court had ruled against the church.Although the court's order was unsigned, Justices Samuel Alito, Clarence Thomas, Brett Kavanaugh and Neil Gorsuch dissented, meaning that Chief Justice John Roberts provided the necessary fifth vote by joining the liberals on the bench.
"Temporarily narrowing restrictions on the size of mass gatherings, including for religious services, protects the health and well-being of Nevada citizens during a global pandemic," the state argued.Alito, writing one dissent that was joined by Thomas and Kavanaugh, said the"Constitution guarantees the free exercise of religion.
It shows the kind of judges the US Supreme Court has. They knowing the Constitution have decided to side with the New World Order... sad...
You forgot this story
A bunch of bullshit!
Yes blacklivesmatter can rally and destroy property but Christians can't go to church? christianslivesmatter peopleoffaithmatter christiansmatter CNN CNNPolitics MSNBC coronavirus CoronavirusPandemic
Poor decision by a left leaning Supreme Court, go by the constitution; not your liberal ideas. We can go to Walmart, buy alcohol; gamble, but no church? Really
If the argument is about contagion, and precaution for the safety of the people, especially if fighting the spread, like this Covid_19 virus; having crowds assembled ANYWHERE warrants restriction for an alotted amount of time, y'reckon?
Good and thank you Justice Roberts ! My Catholic Church is encouraging us to stay home, watch mass in TV , having virtual mass, pray at home with family- all because we are Pro All Life!! It’s our calling from Jesus to protect our neighbors
Very, very sad!!! :-( – The US Supreme Court denied a request from a Nevada church that said the state's attendance restriction during the pandemic was unconstitutional realDonaldTrump jaredkushner IvankaTrump SecPompeo stevenmnuchin1 senatemajldr
You don't need religion.
Tax them motherfuckers.
Add services and keep members safe.
Many are more concerned with their bank account than human lives.
Whaaaa Near reason and logic won?
God gave his son so 'people' could have salvation. And the church wants to put 'people's' life (that their God love and gave his son for) in jeopardy for the Church pocketbooks? They took this to court? It was the church who sentenced Jesus (God's son) to crucifixion right?🤪🤪
They should meet together in any numbers they see fit anyway. There are 3000+ people gathered tonight in Portland and if that is allowed than anyone should do whatever they wish. Selective banning of gatherings because you are not a liberal group is not constitutional
The 4 dissenting judges can’t process common sense? Pandemic can only be stopped by minimizing contacts to break chains of transmission. It’ll be temporary if successful & we have seen successes in many other countries. Dun politicize deadly pandemic. Shame on those 4 judges.
Good. No one said they couldn't worship and you can easily continue to do the money grab online...
ChinaNetworkNews But, thousands of people protesting are ok? Burn, Loot, Murder mobs are constitutional. Going to church isn't? Black Lives Matter protests have not led to a spike in coronavirus cases, research says Shut up, ConspiracyNewsNetwork! 😆
The supreme court is serving for white supremacy
We church and Masjid have same problem with coronavirus restrictions maybe the fals Jesus running’s the show
Churches like these are why people are sceptical of organized religion. How difficult is it for you to do virtual church like the other churches? My church has not met in person since the 2nd Sabbath of March. But we are still constantly in contact with each other.
It’s not about church. It’s about government overstepping. Maybe this isn’t one of those due to COVID, but decisions like this potentially take us to a dangerous place.

Ok. I’m good with this. The truth is that we must stop baby sitting the general public. Personal responsibility must be practiced so that we learn how to live. If people want to gather in groups during a viral outbreak then let them go for it. Live and learn or die.
CNN SUCKS!!
Burnett played a soundbite of Trump bragging about doing well and asked: “Is that fair, the last five questions are hard and a fully normal person who didn’t have any memory issues would have trouble?” Dr. Nasreddine noted only 10 percent of people get the President’s score:
I guess evangelicals and so-called Christians have forgotten that the Building is not God it's only a building the church is the ( People.) Your relationship is with God and the Word, not the Building or your Pastor.
good because you can worship God from your home especially if that will help not to infect and kill people which is exactly what Jesus would have stood for. (to not kill people) Thou shall not kill Thou shalt not put God in peculiar situations to save you.
John Roberts is a disgrace and a hack.
Good, just good, now make it illegal to falsely advertise giving them money will make God goce you more back. The Christian church has been, and currently is the greatest enemy of Jesus Christ, God, and decent human beings all over this planet.
Colossians 3:16 “Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, teaching & admonishing one another in all wisdom, singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, with thankfulness in your hearts to God.” God is Omnipresence & knows our hearts.Thank you God for live streaming & Zoom🙏🏾
you MUST watch please. TheGlobalVigil This servant of The LORD has Prophecied the Coronavirus and is bringing at the same time the miracles of JESUS. This is ELIJAH!
they are not restricting religion they are upholding the right of people to LIVE
Wahhhh we couldn't charge people to pray
John Robert's, who voted with the majority, is no liberal. Don't get used to him dissenting from the other 4 conservative jurists.
New de facto precedent: All you need is a 'pandemic' to deny US citizens' their 1st amendment rights. Well, if that's ok, what about the 2nd, 4th, 5th, etc.? This SCOTUS keeps demonstrating their complete inability to consider the 2nd and 3rd order effects of their decisions.
But mass rioting is cool
If the government can close places protected by the constitution in the name of covid, whats to stop a governor from closing polls on election day for the same reason
So funny 😂 ⛪️ is forbidden to make a crowd but taylorswift13 is allowed to create a crowd to make cardiganMusicVideo 🤦♀️
Good for Judge Roberts....Read the Bible at home people!!
I’m not a firm believer in religion. But I am a firm believer in the u.s constitution and freedom. If these protests are protected under the first amendent so is religion.
The church doesn't even want to follow the bible.
Pay taxes and then you we will talk, deal?
Is Trump deploying Storm Troopers constitutional?
church losing that $$$$
Only thugs rioting in groups of thousands are allowed...... apparently
What is wrong w/ these people who cannot take in this Covid information? These precautions and their necessity? Makes me think they have selfish motives..😳. Pastors? Could passing the plate be that important?
COVID19
No! Let them gather. They can then all die together in the house of their lord or something.
