    In a 5 to 4 ruling, the US Supreme Court has struck down New York Governor Andrew Cuomo's Covid executive order that restricted church services. The order was the most restrictive one so far on church activity, and was being openly defied by Orthodox Jews. In his public statements demanding compliance, Cuomo made a point of singling out the Jews, and many regarded this as anti-semitic.

    As has become common, Chief Justice John Roberts voted with the liberals on the Court.

    Maybe we finally have a conservative court again with Justice Barrett on the bench. Thank you President Trump.
