SCOTUS Blocks California Restriction That Limits In-Home Religious Gatherings

The Supreme Court has blocked a California restriction that limits in-home religious worship, finding the regulation violates the First Amendment.

The Associated Press reported, “the order from the court late Friday is the latest in a recent string of cases in which the high court has barred officials from enforcing some coronavirus-related restrictions applying to religious gatherings.” According to the AP, “the case before the justices involved two residents of Santa Clara County in the San Francisco Bay Area, who want to host small, in-person Bible study sessions in their homes.”
