Supreme Court to New York: The Constitution Still Matters

 
People of faith were given something extra special to be thankful for
late Thanksgiving Eve.

With Justice Barrett casting the deciding vote, the Supreme Court
issued a decision stopping New York Governor Andrew Cuomo from
enforcing strict 10-person or 25-person limitations for attending
religious services.

Noting that the New York regulations single out houses of worship for
harsher punishment, the Court gave an equally harsh rebuke to the
state and Governor Cuomo: 

"But even in a pandemic, the Constitution cannot be put away and
forgotten. The restrictions at issue here, by effectively barring many
from attending religious services, strike at the very heart of the
First Amendment's guarantee of religious liberty."

In other words, the Court reminded New York that the Constitution
still matters.

As you celebrate this Thanksgiving, we know that as believers, we have
much to be thankful for-even during a difficult year. Please join
us in adding President Trump's nomination and the Senate's
confirmation of Justice Amy Coney Barrett to our prayers of
thanksgiving this year-as well as this strong decision from the
Court reminding politicians that religious freedom is not
"optional" under the Constitution.

With thanksgiving,


Autumn Leva
Vice President, Strategy
