The U.S. Supreme Court on Tuesday ruled in favor of a North Caldwell Catholic priest and a Lakewood rabbi who sued Gov. Phil Murphy over coronavirus restrictions on worship services, with the court vacating a lower court ruling that was in Murphy s favor.
The move comes less than a month after the high court ruled in favor of New York houses of worship that challenged New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo s pandemic restrictions. Tuesday s action was not a ruling on the merits of the New Jersey case, but an unsigned order remanding it to the U.S. 3rd Circuit Court of Appeals and ordering judges there to reconsider their decision in light of the Cuomo ruling.
