#1) The U.S. Supreme Court handed California churches a victory Friday, granting injunctive relief to a group that had sued over coronavirus lockdown rules that banned indoor services.

The churches will be allowed to hold indoor services as they await a decision on their appeal in the U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals, which is hearing their case but had denied a motion to suspend the ban during it.  The 6-3 decision came with the Court's liberal justices in dissent. "The Ninth Circuit’s failure to grant relief was erroneous," the Supreme Court’s order reads. "This outcome is clearly dictated by this Court’s decision in South Bay United Pentecostal Church v. Newsom." MORE AT https://www.foxnews.com/politics/supreme-court-california-ban-indoor-church-services
