The U.S. Supreme Court has ruled against the state of New York and Governor Andrew Cuomo in a late night emergency ruling barring the state from reimposing limits on religious gatherings. [full pdf here]
In the 5-4 ruling the newest supreme court justice Amy Coney Barrett sided with the Catholic Diocese of Brooklyn, while justice John Roberts sides with the liberal justices in the minority, but seems to agree on the merits.
“Stemming the spread of COVID–19 is unquestionably a compelling interest, but it is hard to see how the challenged regulations can be regarded as ‘narrowly tailored,’” the court wrote in an unsigned opinion.
“They are far more restrictive than any COVID–related regulations that have previously come before the Court, much tighter than those adopted by many other jurisdictions hard-hit by the pandemic, and far more severe than has been shown to be required to prevent the spread of the virus at the applicants’ services.”
“It is hard to believe that admitting more than 10 people to a 1,000–seat church or 400–seat synagogue would create a more serious health risk than the many other activities that the State allows.” (full pdf)

.
CTH – […] Not only are various governmental agencies forcing the separation of people from their community networks, we are also seeing faith-based organizations, churches, buying into the fear. Even in areas where churches are not forcibly shut down, many are seeing a structural shift where some faith leaders are willingly ostracizing their community under the guise of various COVID alarms. This is not good…. not good at all.
Fellowship is the essential ingredient to a purposeful life. How and why we interact with each-other is how and why we recharge our core humanity. To see faith leaders willing to separate from the function of fellowship is alarming. However, as individuals we must not allow this foreboding sense to become the normal expectation.
Throughout history large armies have been defeated through the process of division. It is not a leap to see the same strategic objectives being deployed against social assemblies including congregations. It is puzzling how leadership cannot see the danger in social and spiritual distance when the bond of fellowship is needed more than ever.
Each of us has a different connection to our community. Each of us has a different level of internal strength… such is the nature of living. However, the distance between people is manifestly not a good outcome when combined with the lack of food for the soul. (more)
I remember long ago when Roberts said essentially that he voted with the Libs on a 5-3 decision (making it 6-3) Saying that he voted that way simply to give the decision more legitimacy than a narrow 5-4 decision. I guess that thought process out the window now that we have a conservative majority.
And to those that think Roberts has been compromised in some way, don’t you think Trump would have exposed that at some point in the last 4 years? More likely he’s just a Globalist lib and always has been, just like ole Georgy boy.
How or when these traitors and quislings were comprised is the distraction – what is essential is that we stop rationalizing and start calling it sedition and treason..
Concur, sDee!
AMEN!!! AMEN!! and AMEN!
I think Joh Roberts is just one of the many public officials compromised by the abuse of the NSA by the Obama admin.
What’s Poppy Bush’s excuse? After all, he was the Godfather of The Great Reset, having consigned USA to UN’s Agenda 21 New/ One World Order.
That was wayyy back in 1992, when Bathhouse Barry was off servicing his choom gang.
NWO explains everything going on right on down to dominion.
Indeed.
Amen!! It ALL needs to be exposed – and anyone who is compromised, which is probably MOST of them, needs to face life in prison or a firing squad!
Roberts did place the best Justices in the proper circuits.
I don’t respect him.
But he did right for us in that.
He lacks courage when the chips are down.
There is nothing respectable about John Roberts.
He’s a weird duck for sure. His Obamacare ruling was the worst. Putting that stone around America’s neck he should be impeached.
Is Roberts the one that does the assigning of justices to the circuits? I honestly don’t know, but fwiw, I’m pleasantly surprised the assignments ended up that way…
He also placed every FISC judge who abused the process.
I doubt he had much choice.
Right now Roberts is nothing more than a chauffer for a conservative limo. He is like a 10 year old looking for acceptance in a club he will never be accepted into. I expect he will bend more right these days, only so he can be on the winning team.
No respect whatsoever for a man with principles made of silly putty.
He doesn’t seem very smart to not have spotted Cuomo’s play of changing the color status of the area these churches were located in as soon as they filed to the SC for relief. Doesn’t he know governor will just change the color back whenever he wants? Why make them have to play whack-a-mole with this tyrant?
I don’t see why it is not 9-0. Even a lib wants civil liberty, at least in the America I used to know.
The liberal justices hate Donald Trump more than they care about the civil liberties of millions of Americans. The problem with leftists and progressives is that they always assume they will somehow be exempted from the restrictions they so easily place onto the rest of the population – and for the last 40+ years that has unfortunately been true. It is well past time to flip that script! Make them live under their own rulings and laws and hold them legally accountable when they don’t! Reality has a wonderful way of waking people up to what is truth and what is an illusion!!
after this voter fraud awareness, I’m more inclined to have hope these leftists are much less in number than even they imagined.
I don’t mind people coming to my state, ours is a conservative state, but I do mind your politics if your fleeing your bad decisions.
Read the Bible then vote, or join, or bitch, but don’t vote from emotions. If you can’t control your emotions then you are forced to control others behavior.
“If you can’t control your emotions then you are forced to control others behavior.”
Amazingly well-put!! I always used to tell my kids that I believe God listed the Fruit of the Spirit in the order He did for a very specific reason.
“But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law.” Galatians 5:22-23
Everything we do MUST start with love or our motives are not in line with God BUT self-control is the other “book-end” that holds all things together for without it, our emotions rule our actions. Too many Christians today, IMHO, emphasize being “kind” or being “good” as if those are enough…but without “self-control” (personal responsibility for ones’ actions and attitudes) we miss the whole point and allow people to simply demand what they “want” rather than insist that they do what is necessary and right!
Yes, The Leftist / Statists consistently think they will be un-fazed or exempt. Hence the term ‘useful idiots.’
Spot on, the driving force behind the left is their hatred for DJT. They are so blinded by it that the irony of their ‘hate has no home here’ signs they put on their lawns goes right over their heads.
“I don’t see why it is not 9-0. Even a lib wants civil liberty…..”
Well–that depends on how you define civil liberty, bearing in mind that when the left (they are, specifically, NOT truly liberal-minded – they are leftists) is in charge, they specifically do NOT want civil liberty for you or me.
That is reality. If you do not see that, I guess you wouldn’t see why it is not 9-0.
They really don’t like us. They really don’t. They despise us. They really do see us as deplorables who should be dragged before a “reconciliation commission” (ala South Africa) to be punished for our support of Donald John Trump.
There should be absolutely no confusion about the 5-4 ruling. When push comes to shove, four of them do NOT want civil liberty for everyone–they want dominance and control. They certainly do NOT want any stinkin’ civil liberties.
Believe what they tell you about themselves. Please.
Exactly! Roberts looks and acts like an immature asshole! Leftists like Ginsburg, Sotomayor and the others would gladly cut their own throat as long as they are cutting yours! I learned that living among them in New York City and South Florida.
Hear! hear! no doubt it is clear that it should have been 9/0. Although I am thankful for the righteous ruling for the side of liberty, it is still bad when it comes on a 5/4 ruling upholding a inalienable right that was endowed by our Creator.
Thus, I cannot “celebrate” this ruling for upholding the right that our founders fought for and won by pledging their lives, fortunes, and sacred honor when we were only one vote away from tyranny being “legalized” by four “Justices” on the SC, who have a great life and many fortunes with NO sacred honor.
Have a great Thanksgiving, count your blessings, pray for our President Donald J. Trump and most of all pledge your sacred honor to defending our great nation by “Whatever It Takes” to defeat these corrupt, tyrannical globalist.
…Linda K…..what is is really good past 4 yrs…they all drop their” mask” so we really know who they…From BIBI,ROBERTS,RINO’s,outright BOLSHEVIKS & clowns in CONgress,to those 4 beauties ….agree it should be 9-0…we know what they- JINO/CINO’S……
He’s compromised scum
Roberts does not know what the U.S. Constitution is! HE MUST BE IMPEACHED!
If the President had the complete ability to expose those who have been compromised, he would have to be in office far longer than 2 terms.
“….. Saying that he voted that way simply to give the decision more legitimacy….”
Wouldn’t it be nice if the Chief Justice voted by the Rule of Law than to make something appear to be what it isn’t.
Perhaps Justice Roberts will find himself rounded up in the execution of Executive Order 13848?
Why would Trump know that Obama has pictures of Roberts with his boyfriend? Scalia said he was gobsmacked when Roberts sided with the libs on Obamacare after meeting with him the day before. He has no biological children. I owe him no quarter.
He’s a bastard, a weak man, and guy who hid who he was to get confirmed.
He’s been on Epstein’s plane and he visited the island. He’s a diddler. It’s going to come out.
The key lesson is don’t wait for the Supreme Court to tell you what your freedoms are. This is preposterous it is non-controversial except in a dictatorship. This ruling shouldn’t be celebrated, it doesn’t require a ruling, it in an inalienable right. Don’t be grateful that you have been granted an inalienable right in a SC split decision. Live your life according to what you know is right, you don’t need black robed judges to tell you. You have God and the Constitution.
from the cheap seats: AHMEN
Same here from the peanut gallery…
Although this is true, I’m glad one of the safeguards put in place to protect us from having to do certain things to protect those rights is still functioning.
It is still working but shows that the balance of Powers are grossly out of balance. That this was not unanimous, should remind us that our liberty remains one rigged election away from global economic slavery.
Exactly gingergal!
My 2A ‘safeguards’ all in place and function just fine!
While I agree with Puzzled that our unalienable rights are ours and we’re responsible for protecting them and ensuring equal application, I also agree with you, gingergal, that our Constitutional checks and balances are essential too.
Tyrants will always try to take the rights of its people by pecking away at the boundaries or by eliminating them outright…always for our own good, of course, and just “temporarily” during a “crisis.” Morphing justifications ensure the loss of a right is permanently temporary.
Government’s most sacred duty is to protect the rights of the people. The Constitution’s safeguards are affirmation and carry appropriate government authority when “in a time of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act.” We’re seated firmly in that space now.
Sadly, the left lacks the foresight to understand that when government is allowed to take any right…rights it does not grant nor has the authority to take…it can and will take all rights…from everybody.
Speaking of temporary, the New York Post is reporting this ruling as “temporary.”
?
Is that because it’s an “emergency” ruling? Or is the Post just spinning?
Not a lawyer, but…
after reading parts of it last night, it looks like the thing “automatically” expires when an appeal is filed in a lower court.
Hmm. Well I guess we can hope that Cuomokevorkian is too busy yucking it up with his brother for the camera to do that.
One for our team, celebrate today!! ?
Probably because they believe that the fake President Elect Biden will be stacking the courts and overturning it shortly. Not gonna happen!
He is NOT Conceding!!
Yes, but just barely functioning. Dispicable, IMO 🙁
“Don’t be grateful that you have been granted an inalienable right in a SC split decision. ”
Agreed! A simple act of mass civil disobedience would have ended this Stalinist campaign ovenight.
It actually angers me that we, the People, have so ignored and neglected our responsibilities to the Republic that we would allow our essential liberties fall in the hand of political appointees.
I would ask you not to be so harsh on We the People. The only reason we are finding out much of this is because MAGA Deplorables broke the algorithm that has been stealing our elections for decades. In all likelihood Obama never won his first term and most definitely dis not win the second. Same goes for the 2018 Democratic Congress. These are the people who deserve our ire and wrath. Not our fellow Americans just trying to get by. Think the 2008 housing crisis was an accident?
The 2008 financial “meltdown” happened for one reason only, IMHO…no one told Sarah Palin that she was supposed to be the scapegoat for John McCain’s “loss” to Barack Obama. But she jumped in with both feet and captivated a nation full of discouraged patriots who immediately rallied to the fight.
The poll numbers were going in the “wrong” direction for Bambi’s coronation so they had to crash the economy and John McCain had to “take the fall” and run around like a chicken with his head cut off so as to make sure that his support plummeted. It worked like a charm, and all the “right” people were paid off for their role in ignoring what really happened but it also spawned the Tea Party Movement which was forced underground but resurfaced in 2016 to support Donald Trump and his MAGA movement. (Why do you think both Songbird and Romney hate DJT so much? He stood up and fought while they willingly laid down and rolled over!)
And that same group of people, plus millions more, just re-elected Donald Trump in a landslide. Now, it’s up to the courts and, more importantly, to the LORD, as to whether he will be declared the rightful winner of the election, or whether America, as envisioned by our Founders, will be plunged into something darker than even they ever imagined…
Pray for peace, Prepare for War!!
vikingmom, the above summary of the 2008 planned debacle is outstanding.
We are living through the throes of another of “their” planned debacles. But this time we have real leadership in the person of our President, DJT.
The result now, in 2020, in addition to the exposure of scorching sunlight on all the snakes across all three Branches of our government, is the true visage of one very angry Bambi, publicly and unabashedly dropping his masque, to openly display his loathing and contempt for us, and for all Rights embedded in the U.S. Constitution.
They forced us underground, but WE’RE BA-A-CK.
God bless and protect President Donald J. Trump, citizen and leader extraordinaire, and rightful winner of General Election 2020. Thank you, Lord, for placing your Hands directly and unequivocally on the strong shoulders of this man. Not my will, but Thy Will be done.
Another reason Songbird and Pierre Delecto detest our President might have something to do with their investments (Lockheed Martin?), money to their “foundations”, money to their relatives who are also lobbyists, agreements that they might have with foreign friends, etc.
just maybe…
From our vantage point, it seems that President Trump was the figurative skunk who showed up at their literal party.
Yep! And since they couldn’t find any real dirt with which to control him, they have spent four years using their media allies to invent some instead!
Is Donald J Trump a perfect man? Nope, not even close, as he is the first to admit. Do I like all of his past actions or present decisions? Again, that’s a big nope!!
But, do I believe that he actually cares about the America where I grew up, the “shining city on the hill” for which my forefathers fought and died? Yes, I do! And I believe just as strongly that the OVERWHELMING majority of people inside the Beltway Bubble (including everyone named Bush, Clinton, Obama, McCain, McConnell, Romney, Ryan, Bezos, Gates, and Fauci) do not give a da*n about anything other their own power trips and pocketbooks!
Best written articulation of 2008 that I have seen in a long time. Stir in a little white guilt and you capture the entire scenario. Thank you for posting, Vikingmom.
It’s like Sundance always says “Once you see the strings, you can never unsee them”
Having a background in both journalism and banking, there were way too many things that never made any sense to me about the 2008 “collapse” and so I started digging and reading everything I could get my hands on. I believe it was the greatest hidden transfer of wealth and power that the world has ever seen.
I also believe that there were, and still are, demonic powers behind all of it and my prayer has been, and continues to be, that God will bring EVERY hidden thing to light! The truth will set us free but it will shake a lot of people and institutions to their core when it is finally revealed!
I am lousy at posting photo links but I believe Dick Cheney knew exactly what had happened but was unwilling to expose it…
…my thoughts too..dick Cheney…he knew …his face say it all !!!!!!
Girl, you are en fuego today.
I love it.
GBY.
And Happy Thanksgiving.
Gracias! Same to you!!
They did our girl wrong, and as far as this mama bear is concerned, they’re not nearly finished paying for it.
The one thing I have never understood is why Sarah Palin remained loyal to John McCain after what he, his family, and his campaign did to her and her family.
As I understood it from something she rote, it was because in spite of it all, he’s the one who brought her to the dance.
I respect that, and realize that without that having taken place, most of us would never have found her.
And in the end, I believe with all my heart she and hers will prevail.
Speaking of which….you probably heard the news about the copper river mine decision in the peoples’ favor, yes?
People have become too comfortable. Too many are not willing to risk even a little.
AMEN! AMEN! AMEN! and when they (the black robed judges) can’t/won’t understand that our rights are inalienable, derived from God, and enshrined in the Constitution, we should fall back on God, Guts, and Guns to help them understand. Some things are worth fighting for and we shouldn’t be afraid to say it.
You’ll never convince your rights are inalienable and from god…from people who’s god is Big Government.
^^^This^^^
You are right, no we can’t can’t convince these evil ones, but GOD sure can show them. They will still be defiant but I am sure that when their time is up they will have wished we had shot them first.
Absolutely!
Amen
No one should trust ANYONE to explain what their US Constitutional Rights are.
All should continuously Study them, and Defend them in Booming Voice and Deed!
I believe your right JCM, education is key.
the 5-4 ruling shows us that 4 either don’t understand the Constitution, or they don’t agree with it, and shouldn’t be on the SCOTUS.

Just had a thought looking over the SC list…IF Biden gets in he won’t have to stack the court, at least one and maybe more will retire and he will place liberals in their place. Not a happy thought, but Happy Thanksgiving to all here in the Treehouse!
Sotomayer is not qualified and should never been approved…she isn’t very smart and her votes are all purely political.
She is a disgrace, and Kegan should have been passed over as well, she was an architect of the ACA, and hasn’t recused herself on any rulings associated with it.
….my grandpa would call those 4-godless wh*res………
Without Barrett on the court, we would be dealing with a thousand petty-tyrant mayors issuing decrees denying us peaceable assembly.
I would/will not comply with their decrees. As the country song goes, “I’m not as good as I once was, but I’m as good once as I ever was.”
Yes….which is why it has been so depressing to watch church members of all stripes across the board rejoice when they have been allowed limited public services. Apparently they don’t understand that once you have to get permission to do so something, you are no longer doing it out of personal freedom as a sovereign individual.
The stupidity and/or ignorance of 50% or more of Americans is deadly.
It’s not 50% or more. Let’s not eeyore our numbers.
I’m expressing an opinion based on observation.
Consider the percentages of non-voters. Consider the fact that most elections are decided by the delicious, floating, undecideds in the middle of the voting spectrum. 45% are firm “on this side”. 45% (of those who vote, which is far less than voting eligible population) are firm “on this side”. And about 35% of those who would be eligible to vote never do.
Why do you think there’s such a pep rally atmosphere when “someone who has never voted” and finally voted for the first time at age 82 or 63 or something? If I were them, I’d keep my mouth shut.
How do you think obama got elected two times? It certainly not because more than 50% of voters were able and willing to think.
Do the math.
i’m not convinced Roberts has been compromised by a live boy or a dead girl. i’m more inclined to believe he’s a black heart who is at a minimum deceived by Satan or worse- in league with him.
Roberts is a political animal- self serving, arrogant, “better than us” – all hallmarks of a liberal. I am persuaded that Bush 43 (another phony “conservative” whom I loath) picked one of his own wicked flock to corrupt the SC
How many more razor thin SC decisions are needed to keep Americans the land of the free? Disobey the attempts to rule by wannabe dictators. Live your best life as Sundance posts.
Well I think your answer is in ‘puzzled’s” post. Too many of these cases are decided that should never make it to any court, it’s a right.
Who would think we need the SC to decide on baking a cake? Now we have thanksgiving being decided? Never should be an issue.
This ‘flu’ is gonna kill people, but dictators need to be challenged by the citizens.
Getting ACB on the Supreme Court to protect our religious liberty is probably the most important event in Trumps presidency. If we lose our religious liberty we are eternally doomed.
It is time to push back against these lockdowns too. This is a free country and the rest of the world watches to see what happens here.
The MANDATE should be:
If democRAT abortion slaughter houses are open … God’s Churches are open.
The MANDATE should be:
The abortion slaughter houses are closed …
God’s Churches are open.
Great news on Thanksgiving Day~! Thank you Father in Heaven for putting Amy Barrett there just in time.
Roberts is irrelevant. He can now freely vote with the libs without blowback from either side, and the decision won’t affect American’s lives. A win-win.
Isn’t it nice to have a blessing delivered on Thanksgiving Eve?
General Flynn has been pardoned, too (although I was hopeful that he would sue every last one of the FIB ne’er-do-wells).
Let us pray that our Christmas present is a salvaged election of PDJT!
Truly a lot to be thankful for today. It will be the most special Thanksgiving I’ve had ever. Cherish every day while freedom still abounds.
Roberts is a TRAITOR to We The People and the U.S> Constitution and should be treated as such!
So with that utter tool Roberts voting with the losers, who ASSIGNED the writing of the majority decision? Thomas?
“If the chief justice is in dissent, nevertheless, the project energy falls to probably the most senior affiliate justice within the majority. Clarence Thomas is now probably the most senior justice, so he’ll assign authorship any time he’s within the majority and Chief Justice Roberts dissents.”
https://apkmetro.com/we-may-get-a-conservative-chief-justice/
Yes. But the best guess of author is ABC. It’s her writing style.
ACB. Sorry
So Roberts sides with the lib opinion…while claiming he agrees with Coney Barrett on the merits?
What a pile of dung.
You are too kind to the man 🙂
Yes! –but he attends the most lavish cocktail parties!!
Monsieur “truc chaud”!
Kitty, I had to think a minute about the moniker you assigned to the CJ. I get it, ? but I’ll wager that he wouldn’t. ?
That behavior is called a LIAR</strong)
Lone Star—-Don’t insult the pile of dung.
Robert’s thinks it’s up to Il Duce to do the courts work by allowing him to throw the on-off switch an unlimited number of times.
congratulations from the old china! wish you all a happy and auspicious thanksgiving. keep winning!
Thank you! May the Five Blessings descend upon your home.
Atleast Roberts wasn’t alllowed to re-write the State’s Constitution to make it fit his idea of Constitutionality.
….like he did for Obamacare legislation.
Great to see that Roberts writes for the minority! What a total sell out! Couldn’t happen to nicer guy! LOSER!!!
People who have not spoken up yet or who can’t see the forest through the trees:
We have 4 SCOUTUS activists. We gave four on that court literally providing arguments for why the government should be able to lock you down.
I love my country. It’s why I served. I’ve seen the world sand there is no better place to live.
I love history.US history surrounding our founding, the American SW during the “Indian Wars” with the Comanche and Apache, I I especially love WW1 and 2. Why do I share?
Well, not once since the founding of this country would you be able to find a people let alone a justice on the SCOTUS that would ever say government should have this power.
And here we have four. That should wake everyone up.
You are dead-on accurate!
We have adopted from China and Viet Nam, and traveled extensively. Every time we are in a foreign country and we see things, that my kids often point out, I tell them that we are so blessed to be Americans! When we return home, everyone is relieved to be back. Even when we traveled to Europe and saw the great divide between the living standards of the well-to-do vs. the working poor, the kids noticed.
The politicians love to talk about how we should measure-up to the way things are done in Europe. If we are not careful, we may end up doing just that!
That ‘Trumpet’ was our wake up call. Our Lord is with us, we just needed to wake up.
I am not a religious person at all, however, I just might go to church today just to piss off Cuomo.
H&HC…do so…one day you find inner peace …under bridge of troubled water…..
God works in mysterious ways my friend.
You know something is wrong with a Legislative Enforcement Mechanism when Impeachment and Removal Disappears.
The Lack of Impeachments of Judges and Justices, and other Elected or Appointed Officials, falsely implies that they Never Violate the US Constitution in their Rulings.
The Legislative Enforcement Mechanism is Compromised and Corrupted.
If an Enforcement Mechanism is never employed, it doesn’t exist.
Merely Ink on Paper.
1000 up votes to JCM.
God bless and protect all of our friends in this Treehouse. Thank you, Lord, for the sterling leadership you have brought to us through Sundance and the CTH Team.
Happy Thanksgiving to all of you – and in honor of our New York State friends today, Thank God for the 5 SCOTUS Justices who remain loyal to the Constitution and to their Oath.
Thank you!
and Amen!
Yea, God !
Jim Marshall would approve of this message!
A+
He liked it Loud and Proud!
There shouldn’t be four dissenting opinions on this decision. That’s pathetic.
Concur,
More that Pathetic it is UNLAWFUL, therefore enforcement is Criminal.
UNCONSTITUIONAL = UNLAWFUL
The left has “dirt” on Chief Justice Roberts…..
It’s probably that illegal adoption of his.
No, if Roberts had a true heart and believed in the Constitution he would have already brought this to the open. If he was being blackmailed, the fact he hasn’t come forward speaks volumes about his voting actions.
Roberts is a black hat and traitor of our country.
I live in Killer Cuomo’s Covid Compliant Gulag of the former State of New York and I am overjoyed at this decision.
Now the question is, will this psychopath obey a direct order or will he willfully ignore it since our feckless legislature turned over all of their power to him back in March.
Another question I have is whether or not our local Catholic churches will finally stand up for their parishioners and allow more people not only at mass and other services, but THE USE OF OUR PARISH HALLS AND FACILITIES that used to serve community groups like AA, NA, senior citizens Bingo, Girl Scouts, Boy Scouts, etc.
The local Catholic church pastors have been especially draconian in their rules for community groups since all this covid BS started. People are dying, especially seniors and addicts, because they no longer have support groups and things like Bingo to help them through this crisis.
Seneca the Elder – I read your posts and appreciate your wisdom. I talked with my Mom yesterday who lives in Oregon and she said she had to sign up to attend church today and only 25 allowed in. I said the church needs to stand up and speak up. I so agree with you and have been saying this to so many people – so many of our elders are lonely, in depression, have dark thoughts and so on and THIS is a really big issue now. How the Catholic church is closing it’s doors at a time like this is disheartening and wrong. All churches should be welcoming everyone and especially, helping those bereft of human contact and in need of a hug. Even in my church, masks are required and we are reminded to sit six feet apart, or, three chairs apart. Because of this, my heart is heavy and I’ve stopped attending church for now. I watch online sermons and take walks with God. HIs Word sustains and is wisdom. Who better than the Ancient of Days to guide my daily thoughts! Alas, my heart goes out to you and I pray for you and so many others not able to visit your local church or AA meeting or to gather with others. This is a pandemic – the loneliness of many shut in and not visited by family or friends. I’m happy for this ruling for you in NY. May all churches in NY throw open their doors today, this day of wonderful Thanksgiving and may all gather from far and near to worship our Creator. Thanksgiving Blessings to you and to all NY’s.
Runner Mom- thanks for your excellent comment.
For months now we have been begging our local pastor to allow us to use the church community rooms for meetings and events and his response has always been “no”, in some instances referring us to alleged rules from the NY Archdiocese.
I have written to the Cardinal as well as other church officials and they do not even bother to respond.
THE CATHOLIC CHURCH OFFICIALS ARE WORSE THAN THE STATE GOVERNMENT BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT ELECTED and there are no checks and balances.
THE CATHOLIC CHURCH LOOKS AT ITS PARISHIONERS AS A CASH COW TO BE MILKED FOR ALL IT’S WORTH.
They have ZERO compassion for the elderly, the sick and suffering and other parishioners who are living and dying in isolation.
The Catholic Church is steadily losing people because they are no longer a religious organization. It is just another multi national corporation whose only concern is making the shareholders wealthy.
As all mega churches.
Seneca—“…whether or not our local Catholic churches will finally stand up for their parishioners and allow more people not only at mass and other services, but THE USE OF OUR PARISH HALLS AND FACILITIES that used to serve community groups like AA, NA, senior citizens Bingo, Girl Scouts, Boy Scouts, etc.”
Check out ChurchMilitant.com. There’s a LOT of reasons for the problems in the Catholic Church in the U.S., and world-wide. This site helps shed light on the mess. It is much needed.
So happy for you, Seneca, that 5 Justices came through and finally gave some hope for NYS. Happy Thanksgiving, dear friend.
Opining here…. If the Bishops, Archbishops, and Cardinals – “Princes of the Church”, cling tenaciously to the Big Lie, it is time for the local parishes to turn their attention, without apology, and their ears, to Bishop Vigano.
Enjoy the victory for today, dear friend. As vikingmom has reminded us in this thread:
Pray for peace; prepare for war.
warrprin- thanks for your kind words and great commentary.
Unfortunately it is our local priests and pastors who are enforcing the illegal and unconstitutional regulations on behalf of the oligarchs who run the Church.
We have begged the priest who runs the parish to be allowed to resume AA and NA meetings to no avail. He wouldn’t even let us meet in the parking lot!
The left has some “dirt” on Chief Justice Roberts…..
I wonder if it’s about that illegal adoption of his…?
Could be that, and it could be even worse things he’s done that we don’t know about.
I’ve heard he’s a closeted gay.

At least the Justices got to vote without some corrupt scumbag Democrats and RINOS stuffing the ballot box after midnight in a stunning 34-5 upset decision.
Must be nice.
We have that Right, too.
in today’s environment that is Spot On.
^^^ Like, like, like! ^^^
I wonder if he has had a small stroke; the back of the head ones don’t necessarily show physical harm but rather mental issues. I think he has had seizures in the past…or maybe it is just never Trump dementia but he really is a disgrace to court. H has demeaned and politicized it…shame on him.
Do not make excuses for him. Whatever is wrong with CJ Roberts is his problem and he needs to figure why he is on the Supreme Court. If he has had a stroke someone knows and he needs to step down.
Couple of observations on this on this blessed day.
The very fact they issue their decision late on Thanksgiving Eve tells me there are no sacred cows on when SCOTUS will announce or its capability to work at high speed, get the job done (bodes well for President Trump)
Is SCOTUS laying the table with this decision for what is coming ahead aka the importance of constitutionality as a matter of law? Are they implying they have their eyes on this crucial ball?
I still believe Congressman Mike Kelly’s PA lawsuit is the kill-shot.
Hmmmm, this seems to have gotten quick attention by SCOTUS. I’m sure besides the positive ruling, it was a signal to/for election cases of how they will find………that is if they get a true constitutional based case. The various legal teams better bring a constitutional based case or they will be forced to not find in our favor.
Having read the Michigan part of the Kraken (saving the Georgia one for today), that was the thought running through my mind, that this case, and so likely both along with any other being filed by the Kraken, are with that specific intent in mind as the points bring up the disenfranchisement of legitimate voters as well as failure on the part of the elected officers of the law (the Governors and appointed election board members) to follow actual law, key points it would seem since they are based on how the States constitutions say government employees must act, in accordance to what the Legislatures say.
Yes, 2 or multiple levels of verification. I had to sign a document and show ID that I was who I said I was. Others (if they were real people) just had to fill in a ballot and send in without verification of who they were. That is not equal protection.
Which is why President Trump will prevail at SCOTUS.
As an empath, couldn’t help but hear the anguish, lament and eternal regrets of Ginsburg for choosing death at ever turn while on earth. Now her colleagues are following suit. It is a shame they do not hear her cries for if they did they’d stop standing in judgement against God Himself and thus find themselves citizenship in hell with her.
*those colleagues being Roberts, Sotomayor, Kagan, Breyer
*most dangerous posse in America today.
I have often thought in the last couple of days that the most patriotic and important thing Ginsburg did in her life is to die.
One judge passes away otherwise we would have lost this inalienable right? This should not be celebrated it should be feared. No one can grant you an inalienable right. The fact that we aren’t even debating this is mind numbing.
All babies who have been sacrificed at the hand of their executioners to their bloody deaths agree with you.
It’s absolutely outrageous these ‘justices’ stand in judgement against the most innocent, sending them to their deaths by the millions; yet each one of these justices enjoys such worldly prestige and honor when they are filthy vile wretched and wicked human beings, who if they do not repent and change their ways will be thrown in the fire having everything they’ve ever done–good and bad be for nothing.
I do so enjoy your posts and have missed your absence.
Happy Thanksgiving MM!?
De Blasio was really going after the Orthodox Jewish community in New York City before the election for funerals, weddings and religious services. I guess this will spoil his fun. Plus think of all the solace that will be available in the churches and cathedrals if they are now open for prayer. What a bummer Bill. Tough luck.
It’s that nazi thing again…
Rex…worse “nazi”…did not prohibit ppl to go to churches….BOLSHEVIKS…did….
If someone can buy off an United States Election they can sure as heck buy of a Supreme Court Judge in the same country
They don’t need to, satan already beat them to it!
THAT is why DEMs went full CHEAT in election, and they didn’t care how obvious – It was DEFCON 4 for them – Supreme Court appointments.
Everything is DEFCON 1 for the Dems. Republicans might be seeing the light about now.
imho, roberts is voting against anything tump supporters would want out of pure spite.
Exactly! Roberts looks and acts like an immature asshole!
I think Gorsuch fiery commentary of Roberts also bodes well for where Gorsuch will side in election cases. So, we have Thomas, Alito, Barrett, Kavanagh, and Gorsuch has made his stance pretty well. It does seem like we are safe…….hopefully.
Glad SCOTUS called out Cuomo on this travesty. Love and good wishes to our CTH community <3
[…] Posted on November 26, 2020 […]
Roberts – Epstein. Will Lin Wood make the connection?
If you want to see how those two ass clowns, Killer Cuomo and DelAssholio have utterly destroyed the former greatest city in the world (New York), check out Jason Goodman’s latest video filmed today in Manhattan. Even I am SHOCKED at how dead it is.
https://youtu.be/YKtlkxNXRY8
What has happened to sassy, independent, don’t-push-me-around New Yorkers?!
Prisoners of their own free will: to paraphrase Benjamin Franklin, if they do not all stand up together and refuse illegal mandates, they will all sit as prisoners individually.
Ausonius- all of the freedom loving New Yorkers have moved out of NYC to the outer counties. I am still convinced that our President Trump and the downstream Repub candidates won NY in a landslide.
** The feckless NY GOP is less than worthless.
That does appear to be the case. The Establishment is The Establishment is The Establishment ad infinitum.
Thanks, Seneca. Wasn’t familiar with Jason Goodman, or his association with Charles Ortel. Very interesting guy! (Only two balloons?!?)
PJ- I never knew anything about the great Charles Ortel until I saw him walking around NYC with Jason Goodman on their Sunday walk shows. He’s a pretty amazing guy as I have discovered.
@Seneca- Yes, Jason Goodman has done great work. And in case some missed it, back when the Covid psyop first started, he checked out all the hospitals in NYC and what he saw did NOT match the narrative from the MSM, which told us that we were in the medical crisis of our lives, doctors and nurses overworked, bodies piling up, etc. At all the hospitals, including Elmhurst, which was supposed to be “pandemic central,” he saw tons of ambulances parked and doing nothing; EMTs relaxed, hanging out, playing with their phones, no signs of urgency, no ambulances racing in, empty waiting rooms, empty ERs, no signs of distress anywhere. He also found out that the story most responsible for setting the “killer virus” narrative was an NYT story about Dr. Collen Smith out of Elmhurst Hospital, who described the scene as “apocalyptic, with bodies piled up everywhere” (which was NOT what Jason saw). He said this NYT story got picked up all over the world. Jason later found out that Dr. Colleen Smith is a self-proclaimed “medical simulation specialist” so he questioned whether she was doing a “medical simulation” when she told her BS story.
amanda- so glad to hear that Jason Goodman is getting the audience he deserves. He is literally the ONLY real journalist covering the wasteland that is now NY City.
I first started watching him around the end of March and I’ve been hooked ever since. He is very prolific, has lots of great shows and videos like today’s.
He totally captures the horror that is the Island of Manhatto. I was just down there recently and cannot believe what they did to this once great city.
Being a Christian and for the day, I will not say what I am thinking about “Chief Injustice Roberts.” I will say a blessed Thanksgiving to you all…
Has Supreme Court Justice John Roberts RESIGNED Yet ?
Reportedly he, Bill Gates and $$$ George $Soros$ were on Jeff Epstein’s
The Lolita Express and China has been Blackmailing Roberts !
I’m pretty sure Roberts spent his pre-marriage life in DC bars and restaurants that don’t cater to women. The point being that Epstein supposedly only trafficked in girls – don’t think SCOTUS Roberts is that John Roberts.
Maybe the reporter?
So, we know how Roberts will rule on the election fraud and 2 A! What a horrible Justice.
Roberts is voting to prevent SCOTUS from hearing and overturning many 2nd Amendment Infringements, Tyrant Edits and State Legislature fabricated “False Law” disguised as Constitutionally Valid Law.

Good for john roberts! Show your cards for all to see.
Now, Clarence Thomas gets to write the majority opinion which carries the weight of The SCOTUS.
“Government is not free to disregard the first amendment in time of crisis” – Gorsuch
Another Roberts vote in which he reportedly “agrees” with the majority on the merits, but can’t vote for it because of process………….a squish, a traitor, in summary a Bushie.
Isn’t it amazing how the Bushies always have justifications for screwing over their supporters?
Not just the Bushies, the entire RNC. Think about the Senate. Is there one Republican the likes of Doug Collins? Dave Nunes?
[…] Midnight Action – Supreme Court Blocks New York State Restrictions on Religious Gatherings… — … […]
Gorsuch is brilliant. His concurring opinion, at pp 8-14, is some of the most beautiful, understandable, straightforward writing about the 1st Amendment I’ve ever read. May God bless him and the rest of the justices. They’ve got a lot of work ahead of them.
[…] BE TO GOD, THE U.S. SUPREME COURT HAS RULED AGAINST REIMPOSING LIMITS ON RELIGIOUS […]
Over the past 10 years look at how many federal judges and appellate courts have ruled that you don’t have a 2nd Amendment right to keep and bear arms but a Muslim living in Somalia has a Constitutional right to come to the United States against the direct order of the President flying here at your expense bringing their entire extended family and immediately collect welfare paid to them for life??? That’s how F’d up our courts are!
Millions agree with you Joe.
Here’s hoping this 100% correct decision bodes well for SC decisions coming down the pike. POTUS knew exactly what would be needed when he saw to it that SCJ ACB was put in place pronto.
Happy Thanksgiving to all! ???

Roberts has core beliefs. Like a worm in an apple core.
Black Robes matter 🙂
This Thanksgiving, I am thankful for ACB!
For the Covid folk here, a good read. Basically the “meat” of the charges, this growing German and international group of attorneys hope to bring against the “alleged” (to cover your ass) fraudsters.https://www.globalresearch.ca/video-crimes-against-humanity-the-german-corona-investigation/5725795?fbclid=IwAR312Xoj28ACwO4-pgYcshYkhRY8nJxKl_PK7oDpNnIHAcCJqEmm6iFlgmM
Thank you for posting. I think this man. Reiner Fullmich, is so consistent and responsible that he should not be ignored. He makes so much sense.
Knowing DeBlasio and Cuomo as well as how things work in New York I have no doubt this was a shakedown attempt to get $$$ from Archdiocese of New York or some major political concession. As we all know nothing political happens by accident!
