The United States Supreme Court is fighting back against New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s religious persecution. Cuomo has imposed restrictions on religious services, which has severely limited the practice of several groups. Cuomo has waged war against religion, claiming that the virus is spreading because of religious gatherings.

The Supreme Court granted an injunction to Cuomo’s restrictions with a 5-4 decision. As expected, Justice Amy Coney Barrett with the majority and Chief Justice John Roberts siding with the liberal minority. The ruling was in response to a request by the Roman Catholic Diocese of Brooklyn and a Jewish group against the restriction by Cuomo, limiting the number of people who can attend the services. The restrictions limit the number to 10 persons in some areas while it is up to 2 in some.

Back in October, Cuomo threatened to close synagogue, in a move that is reminiscent of what Hitler had done in Nazi Germany if theyd did not obey him. According to a part of the statement of the court: “Citing a variety of remarks made by the Governor, Agudath Israel argues that the Governor specifically targeted the Orthodox Jewish community and gerrymandered the boundaries of red and orange zones to ensure that heavily Orthodox areas were included. Both the Diocese and Agudath Israel maintain that the regulations treat houses of worship much more harshly than comparable secular facilities. And they tell us without contradiction that they have complied with all public health guidance, have implemented additional precautionary measures, and have operated at 25% or 33% capacity for months without a single outbreak.”

Cuomo’s leadership during the pandemic has been celebrated by the left and the mainstream media, and he has even been awarded an Emmy. He has also launched a book that discusses his leadership during the time of crisis. All of this even after his poor leadership has caused thousands of deaths directly because of his order for nursing homes to accept patients who tested positive for the virus.
