WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The U.S. Supreme Court late on Wednesday backed Christian and Jewish houses of worship challenging New York state’s latest restrictions in novel coronavirus hot spots.
The court on a 5-4 vote granted requests made by the Roman Catholic Diocese of Brooklyn and two Orthodox Jewish congregations.
The order marked one of the first consequential actions on the court of President Donald Trump’s new appointee, conservative Justice Amy Coney Barrett, who cast a deciding vote in favor of the religious groups.
Conservative Chief Justice John Roberts dissented along with the court’s three liberals.
Donald Trump has been one of the most consequential Presidents in the history of the United States.

Mitt Romney, Bill Kristol, Rick Wilson, and all the rest would prefer that Hillary had won in 2016.
If that had happened, SCOTUS would consist of:
Thomas, Alito
Roberts
Garland, Kagan, Sotomayor, Breyer, plus Leondra Kruger instead of Kavanaugh, Kentaji Brown Jackson instead of Gorsuch, and instead of Amy Coney Barrett we would have either "Victoria" Kolakowski or "Brianna" Westbrook
