Count actor and “Family Guy” guy Seth MacFarlane among those disgusted with the Supreme Court’s 5-4 decision striking down New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s limits on attendance in houses of worship:
Gorsuch, if you can’t make the distinction between the risk level of a small business like a liquor store and massive indoor gathering like a church with regard to a raging pandemic, you are more scientifically illiterate than the man who appointed you.https://t.co/M5VRT1xL8N

Seems to us that the one having trouble making distinctions here is Seth MacFarlane.
Well sure. Liquor stores aren't constitutionally protected whereas church gatherings are.

Read the opinion, not the Times. "while a synagogue or church may not admit more than 10 persons, businesses categorized as essential may admit as many people as they wish." Plaintiff congregations "have operated at 25% or 33% capacity for months without a single outbreak." https://t.co/eYXtooAXX2

You missed the point Seth. NY capped Church occupancy at 10 worshippers, despite ability to hold 1000 people. Stores were capped at 50% of capacity. Why treat religious institutions worse than Walmart. This isn't about science, it's about discrimination. That's unconstitutional.

I missed the “pandemic clause” in the constitution where it allows infringement upon liberties because of an illness. Oh never mind I didn’t miss it, it’s just not there.

Damn Seth! That pesky constitution getting in the way again huh?

It's unsurprising that you can't recognize a principle when you see it.

Ramen dude gets it, Seth. Why can’t you?
Love when court jesters want to engage in a battle of wits with Constitutional scholars. https://t.co/KobRypMvXQ

We’d pay good money to watch Seth MacFarlane try to debate Justice Gorsuch on the ins and outs of the United States Constitution. That’d actually make for a great show. Maybe Seth should pitch it.
You'd think someone whose entire career was dependent on the 1st Amendment would be a little more protective of it.

You’d think.
Alas, these are stupid, stupid times.
Relax, fascist.
