A lawyer for the law firm that has brought a suit against Democratic New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo on behalf of Catholic and Orthodox Jewish worshippers in New York praised the Supreme Court for ruling against Cuomo in a religious liberty case.

Thomas More Society Special Counsel Christopher Ferrara applauded the late-night Thanksgiving Eve decision, telling The Daily Wire in a statement: “The Supreme Court has made it clear that governors can no longer use a public health emergency as a pretext for dictates shutting or severely restricting the use of houses of worship while secular businesses and activities they deem ‘essential’ — and even certain favored ‘non-essential’ secular businesses and activities — are not subjected to the same draconian restrictions. What is considered ‘safe’ for grocery stores, liquor stores, and massage parlors, must be considered safe for churches and synagogues.”
