SCOTUS Justice Neil Gorsuch summed up the double standards from the California governor in a couple different statements in the decision:
Justice Neil Gorsuch: "If Hollywood may host a studio audience or film a singing competition while not a single soul may enter California’s churches … something has gone seriously awry."

"Government actors have been moving the goalposts on pandemic-related sacrifices for months, adopting new benchmarks that always seem to put restoration of liberty just around the corner"

“Moving the goalposts” has been the primary duty of Democrat politicians for almost the past year. Nice to see a majority on the Court help restore some partial sanity.
