Description

In a late-night decision, the Supreme Court has again weighed in on the battle between religious freedom and public safety.
California churches recently challenged some of the state's health and safety restrictions. Specifically, the churches argued that restrictions on indoor services, capacity restrictions, and bans on indoor singing and chanting violated their First Amendment rights.
What did the Supreme Court say? And what do the justices' decisions say about religious freedoms moving forward?
