Cuomo Slams Supreme Court Ruling

New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) “accused the U.S. Supreme Court of political partisanship on Thursday after the justices narrowly rejected his coronavirus-based restrictions on religious services,” the New York Times reports.

“He played down the impact of the ruling, suggesting that it was a reflection of the court’s emboldened new conservative majority.”

“Regardless of the governor’s interpretation, the decision by the Supreme Court late on Wednesday to suspend the 10- and 25-person capacity limitations on churches and other houses of worship in New York would seem to be a sharp rebuke to Mr. Cuomo, who had previously won a series of legal battles over his emergency powers.”
