In July, the U.S. Supreme Court by a 5-4 vote refused to grant an injunction pending appeal to a church that was challenging Nevada Governor Steve Sisolak's COVID-19 Order limiting worship services to no more than 50 people with social distancing. (See prior posting). A Nevada federal district court had upheld the governor's Order. Arguments are scheduled next month in the church's appeal to the 9th Circuit. However, last week the church filed a petition (full text) asking the U.S. Supreme Court to grant review in the case before it is heard by the 9th Circuit. Calvary Chapel Dayton Valley v. Sisolak, (certiorari filed, 11/5/2020). ADF issued a press release announcing the filing.
