Fallout from the Supreme Court s Thanksgiving decision blocking New York governor Andrew Cuomo s (D.) worship restrictions is spreading nationwide, as the justices tee up similar orders in other blue states for a legal reckoning.
The High Court since Dec. 3 has invoked the Cuomo ruling to erase decisions favoring public health authorities over the faithful in California, Colorado, and New Jersey. In each case, the justices told a lower court to have a second look at the contested rules, then follow their lead in the New York case.
