IMHO, the Yetev Lev temple doesn't need 10,000 people squeezing into an enclosed space, which happened a week ago, to celebrate a wedding. A religious wedding can still take place, outside, with social distancing, and masks.
Jewish, Muslim, Christian, Devil worshiper - doesn't matter who it is.

Gorsuch was too busy grandstanding to consider that. Kavanaugh's opinion was an interesting read. He cited that the decision was to only grant temporary injunctive relief and that the merits of the case itself may still be argued should the case make its way back to them through the appellate court. That makes me wonder if Kavanaugh, specifically, might shift his position at a later date should the matter be brought before them again.
I also don't see much in the concurring opinions that would keep a city/state from applying grouping limitations based on a percentage of "normal" occupancy, as long as those rates were applied evenly across all "non-essential" entities. And, should rates be applied unevenly to the benefit of religious organizations, it may result in lawsuits from private-sector "non-essential" businesses.

I don’t think the government can or should shut down churches, however it is not an apples to apples comparison. Churches are inside gatherings of people huddled together singing (and snoring). The protests you are alluding to for the murder of a black man by the police you have been been upset about for 5 months were outside and people were wearing masks. Also, you can shut down a church by locking the doors. You can’t really stop a gathering of thousands of people in city streets unless you want it to get really nasty, which is exactly what happened.
What would you say.....ya do here?
Well, this is what he said about this exact thing a couple of weeks ago. Depending on who asks the question, you get different answers.
The government is currently helping people out of work because of Covid shutdowns. There is unemployment payments for them and a moratorium on evictions currently. This does run out on December 31, so something does need to be done before then, but it’s not like people out of work because of Covid shutdowns aren’t receiving any help from the government right now.

Suicide data lags in the US—it will be years before we know for sure—but in Japan where suicide data is updated monthly, suicides are up. This month they’re way up.
