Bizarro Kanyon posted:Here in Illinois, churches have been ignoring the rules since the beginning. With no local law enforcement regarding the restrictions and no politician wanting to stand up to them, it has became just a game of “come on”. I have absolutely no problem with letting people worship in as large a group as they can find.

Vegetable posted:In the section on public interest, the majority opinion states: "The State has not claimed that attendance at the applicants' services has resulted in the spread of the disease. And the State has not shown that public health would be imperiled if less restrictive measures were imposed." Interestingly, the majority opinion is per curiam - no one judge put their name on it. There were two concurrences, and two dissents. Gorsuch's concurrence basically declares that overbearing executive lawmakers are using COVID as an excuse to roll back the Constitution, and openly calls out Roberts for enabling this by not being hostile enough to COVID measures in the first place. Kavanaugh's concurrence and Roberts' dissent both say that COVID measures are fine in general, but that New York has gone way too far in their religion-specific measures compared to secular businesses or to other states' religious restrictions. The only disagreement is that Roberts thinks the case is moot currently and should be put aside until Cuomo re-imposes the restrictions, while Kavanaugh thinks a ruling should be made now regardless. Also, Roberts spends some time defending himself and the other dissents from Gorsuch's attacks. The other dissent, by the liberal three, states that there should be a high bar for granting injunctions, and that it's not clear that it's in the public interest to delay COVID measures until the courts can get around to deciding on the actual case.

Can’t wait for the Satanic Temple to really start pushing for more freedom from government since, you know, this should apply to all religions right?

I can't wait for the SCOTUS in a 5/4 or 6/3 to decide that the Satanic Temple is actually Satanic and the members need to be preemptively persecuted before they can persecute REAL CHRISTIANS, because Satanic and Sharia starts with S!

It’s because Johnson hasn’t looked like that since 1994 and his chain on the black shirt looks vaguely like a jabot on a black robe.

Reading that whole thread it sounds a lot like we're gonna get a 6-3 or even a 7-2 by that boils down to "yeah the whole Nestle owning child slaves thing is hosed up but there isn't enough to prove aiding and abetting, also this really more a Congressional issue."

Compared to other court-watchers, Kalmbacher seems to be taking some liberties with the details in his description, which tends to obscure the actual legal principles being discussed - not exactly great when you're talking about Supreme Court arguments. Another description of Breyer's position is here: https://mobile.twitter.com/Ted_Hansons/status/1333811911964717059 That said, everyone seems to unanimously agree that Katyal really is pushing the envelope on evil in his legal strategies, to a degree that even the conservative justices seem reluctant to endorse. https://mobile.twitter.com/nycsouthpaw/status/1333856812513234948 https://mobile.twitter.com/mjs_DC/status/1333807959076458496 https://mobile.twitter.com/mjs_DC/status/1333820395099664386

A rep could have the barest standing to sue over election matters since they'll just argue that the harm is them not getting the 'proper' winner and elected official they should, I guess? You can sue for anything though, standing be damned (the courts won't be too happy with you either for wasting their time). IIRC, this dipshit's case was thrown out with prejudice when the PA Supreme Court heard it.

The way this is being described makes it sound like the lawyer is self-sabotaging, ostensibly arguing his case while subtly making it absurd.
