Cuomo calls Supreme Court church ruling ‘irrelevant’

NYP: The Supreme Court’s order temporarily blocking New York from setting coronavirus capacity limits at houses of worship is “irrelevant” and “moot,” Gov. Andrew Cuomo claimed Thursday.

In the 5-4 decision, the court sided with the Roman Catholic Diocese of Brooklyn and Orthodox Jewish synagogues, who sued Cuomo over his restrictions on congregating in state-designated coronavirus hot spots, saying his actions trampled on religious freedom.

Cuomo, in a Thanksgiving Day conference call with reporters, insisted the order was moot because the houses of worship in question in the curt battle are no longer in designated red and orange zones in Brooklyn in Queens so the restrictions no longer apply to them.

The safety restriction to tame the pandemic imposed attendance caps at houses of worship from 10 to 25 people, respectively. The plaintiffs argued that the restrictions violated their religious freedoms under the First Amendment and unfairly targeted them while businesses deemed essential, including groceries and takeout restaurants, were allowed to operate. more

  1. I…. I didn’t know we could do this. Wonderful news. Bound to save us all millions in unnecessary legal costs.

    “Court summons? Pfft. That’s moot.”

    “Sorry officer, your warrant is irrelevant.”

    Gotta’ admit, this sudden leap off the cliffs of insanity into the abyss of anarchy looks promising.

  2. I got a good laugh out of the MSM (incl. you too Fox) reporting how Amy Coney-Barrett sided with the other four “conservatives” on the court. Why was her vote singled out as the deciding factor here and not any of the other 4? I’d bet a $1 Cuomo is losing his sh*t over her right now. Good, I hope he has the sh*ts for a week from whatever he ate Thursday.

  3. Bigots gotta bigot, and Andrew Cuomo is a murderer.
    This religious bigot is dangerous and a threat to American basic freedoms.
    Citizens should be stomping his guts out right now.

  4. If someone doesn’t back up the USSC ruling with action because this idiot thinks it’s irrelevant, then this is what we have to look forward to if Trump wins any sort of election action before the USSC. The Left will simply say it’s irrelevant, who’s gonna do anything about it? Dust off the Insurrection Act!

  5. It isn’t really the Supreme Court ruling Cuomo considers irrelevant as it is the Church he considers irrelevant.

    The Jews too, Cuomo’s actions indicate he doesn’t like the Christians and the Jews and wishes to disenfranchise them from having any importance in our culture.

  6. Hey you ignorant jackass, my pardon to jackasses, the supreme edict applies to all infringement of religious rights, EVERYWHERE. It sets a federal precedent, I think, but I’m not a lawyer.

  7. If a ruling by the SUPREME COURT is irrelevant to the rule of law, then how relevant is the next asinine edict that Cuomo pulls out of his descending colon?

    And what cop, especially in NYC, is going to enforce whatever it is Cuomo pinches out next?

  8. So the chief executive of NYS,
    who took an oath to uphold the laws of his State and the USA, shrugs off a court ruling that he violated the First Amendment.

    Documenting that his judgement is shit and his word is shit.
    Sounds to me like he’s not qualified for Office.
