Opinion | Rabbi Avi Shafran: Why the Supreme Court was right to bar recent Covid-19 restrictions on houses of worship. - NBCNewsTHINK

And while an argument raised in defense of disparate treatment of houses of worship is that services can last for long periods of time, which might be more conducive to spreading infection, that concern would rightly be addressed by limiting the length of time spent in any venue — whether a church, liquor store or supermarket.

It was important back in November for the court to set a precedent — or, more accurately, to restate, for clarity’s sake, the First Amendment.

THINK VACCINE IS FANTASTIC;however, the “will of the people” will succeed in beating C19. We are coming out of our 2nd WAVE, distancing, lockdown,masks & basic hygiene has ensured success.Govt support. Little habits, with massive effects. Bigger sacrifices with astonishing results.

THINK So everyone should just breathe on each other and spread Covid?!?!?!?!

THINK

THINK I am SO TIRED of 'religious' asking for special rights. And, yes, that's what they are doing in this public health emergency.

THINK Here's the thing. NO ONE is barring anyone from praying. Do you know why liquor stores are 'essential'? Because alcoholics suddenly deprived from alcohol *die*. Really, they do. On the other hand, people don't die from not being able to attend church.

THINK Because the state needs time to deal with the orders from above?

THINK What crowds gather at acupuncturists?! And that was one of the many disingenuous comparisons this op-ed makes.

THINK But walmart and the abortion clinic are fine

Why the Supreme Court didn't want to hear the Trump emoluments casesThe court's action raises the question of how the justices will deal with a myriad of other lawsuits and disputes concerning the now-former President, and whether Trump's side may prevail simply because he ran out the clock and courts allowed him to do so This just pisses me off so much!!! No wonder they think they can do anything because no one ever holds them accountable!!! If this had been President Obama he'd be arrested and serving life by now. Neverheldaccountable This man gets away with entirely too much. Its sickening. Karma, please show up and show out on this fool. rewarding the sociopath with a slap on the hand

Opinion | Why Democrats' court-packing plan will backfireAdding seats to the high court would formalize the body's transformation into a social issues super legislature to the detriment of the republic. THINK Oh, an opinion piece from Washington Examiner: everything Democrats do is wrong and will backfire. But everything Mitch has done on court packing for the last 2 decades is legitimate and righteous. Gimme a break. 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️ THINK At the moment the US Supreme Court is a GOP club to last for 75 years and more..... Not a bad idea to want to add members (now that the Dems have SOME power) OR find a way to limit terms to, say, 20 years, than get some new judges in there. THINK Nah.
