Cuomo Calls Supreme Court Ruling On Churches ‘Irrelevant<\/h1>\n

ZeroHedge.com<\/p>\n

Update (1338ET):\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>Responding to the Supreme Court’s 5-4 decision to block New York from setting capacity limits at houses of worship during the pandemic,\u00a0Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) said the ruling was ‘irrelevant.”<\/strong><\/p>\n

During a Thanksgiving Day conference call with reporters, Cuomo said the order was moot because the religious institutions involved in the lawsuit are no longer in designated red and orange zones in Queens and Brooklyn – therefore the restrictions, capping attendance at houses of worship – no longer apply.<\/p>\n

“The Supreme Court made a ruling. It\u2019s more illustrative of the Supreme Court than anything else,” said Cuomo (via the\u00a0NY Post<\/em><\/a>), while knocking the Supreme Court’s (arguably) conservative bias given the addition of Justice Amy Coney Barrett.<\/p>\n

“It\u2019s irrelevant of any practical impact because of the zone they were talking about is moot. It expired last week<\/strong>,” he added. “It doesn\u2019t have any practical effect.”<\/p>\n

“The lawsuit was about the Brooklyn zone. The Brooklyn zone no longer exists as a red zone. That\u2019s muted. So that restriction is no longer in effect. That situation just doesn\u2019t exist because those restrictions are gone.”<\/p>\n
