Robinson v. Murphy
vacating an order from Oct. 2 by a district court in New Jersey against a Catholic priest and a Jewish rabbi who sued the state over worship gathering restrictions.
Also on Tuesday, the high court issued a separate order in the case of
High Plains Harvest Church v. Polis, in which a Colorado church challenged the restrictions in that state.
The Supreme Court vacated an Aug. 10 order by a Colorado district court against High Plains Harvest Church, although with this order Justice Elena Kagan dissented.
"I respectfully dissent because this case is moot. High Plains Harvest Church has sought to enjoin Colorado's capacity limits on worship services. But Colorado has lifted all those limits," wrote Kagan, being joined by Justices Stephen Breyer and Sonia Sotomayor.
