The Supreme Court is telling California it can't enforce a ban on indoor church services because of the coronavirus pandemic. The high court said that for now, California can't ban indoor worship as it had in almost all of the state because virus cases are high. The justices also declined to stop California from enforcing a ban put in place last summer on indoor singing and chanting. Gorsuch and Justice Clarence Thomas would have kept California from enforcing its singing ban. The justices said the churches who sued can submit new evidence to a lower court that the singing ban is not being applied generally.

The Supreme Court has dismissed as premature a challenge to President Donald Trump's plan to exclude people living in the country illegally from the population count used to allot states seats in the House of Representatives. But the courts decision Friday is not a final ruling on the matter and it's not clear whether Trump will receive final numbers from the Census Bureau before he leaves office next month. If the president still has not received final census numbers by the time Joe Biden takes office Jan. 20, Trump's plan will be effectively dead because Biden is extremely unlikely to pursue it. The three liberal justices dissented, saying the effort to exclude people in the country from the population for divvying up House seats is unlawful. "This ruling does not authorize President Trump’s goal of excluding undocumented immigrants from the census count used to apportion the House of Representatives.

Scott Applewhite)WASHINGTON – The Supreme Court on Thursday refused to block an order by Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear that bars in-person K-12 education until early January in areas hard hit by COVID-19, rejecting a plea from a private religious school. Gorsuch noted that the governor issued a separate order allowing “virtually all other in-person activities to continue with only capacity restrictions. A district court agreed, blocking the order, but the federal appeals court in Cincinnati, Ohio, allowed Beshear's order to remain in effect. Speaking at a news conference in Kentucky around the time the court ruled, he said: “In no way were religious schools treated any differently, we asked everybody to make the same sacrifice.”Kentucky continues to reel from the pandemic.

Scott Applewhite)WASHINGTON – The Trump administration is asking the Supreme Court a second time to reinstate a rule that women must pick up an abortion pill in person during the COVID-19 pandemic. The administration has suspended similar in-person visits for other drugs, including opioids in some cases, but refused to relax the rules for getting the abortion pill. Since July, Chuang’s order has temporarily prohibited the U.S. Food and Drug Administration from enforcing the requirement that a woman visit a hospital, clinic or medical office to obtain the drug mifepristone during the pandemic. In October, the Supreme Court allowed women to continue getting the abortion pill by mail, but deferred any substantive ruling.

LYNCHBURG, Va – President Donald Trump said he will likely announce his Supreme Court nominee to succeed Ruth Bader Ginsburg by the end of the week. Trump said he wants the Senate to hold a confirmation hearing for his nominee before the upcoming November election. Liberty University School of Law professor Tory Lucas said that since the Republicans hold a majority of the seats in the Senate, the process could start very quickly. “The Supreme Court starts its 2021 term the first Monday in October and they will start with only eight justices so any close case that they hear until this position is filled could end in a tie,” explained Lucas. The president says he wants to wait until funeral services are finished for Ginsburg before making his announcement.

Getty Images(CNN) - The Supreme Court agreed on Friday to take up a major immigration case concerning the rights of undocumented immigrants seeking asylum to challenge their expedited removal proceedings. The Trump administration had asked the court to review an opinion of the 9th US Circuit Court of Appeals that would allow those who have been denied asylum the opportunity to make their claims in federal courts. Thuraissigiam applied for asylum, citing fear of persecution in Sri Lanka, and an asylum officer determined he had not established a credible fear of persecution. Thuraissigiam went to federal district court, arguing that the expedited removal violated his constitutional rights. A district court said the law did not authorize the court to hear his claims.

WASHINGTON (CNN) - The Supreme Court agreed on Friday to take up a case this term that could significantly weaken the structure and independence of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, a government watchdog agency that was the brainchild of Elizabeth Warren and opened its doors in the wake of the 2008 financial crisis during the Obama administration to oversee financial institutions, monitor markets and protect consumers from financial fraud.

Eric Thayer/Getty Images(CNN) - The Supreme Court agreed on Friday to take up an abortion case this term, adding an explosive issue to an already robust docket of controversial issues in the middle of the 2020 presidential election. The justices will consider a Louisiana law that requires doctors to obtain admitting privileges from a nearby hospital. This is the first abortion case that will be argued since Justice Brett Kavanaugh and Neil Gorsuch joined the bench, solidifying a conservative majority. While the case does not directly challenge Roe v Wade, supporters of abortion rights are fearful that this is the first of what could be a growing number of opportunities for the new conservative majority to chip away at abortion rights. It is nearly identical to a Texas law that the Supreme Court struck in 2016.

Getty Images(CNN) - The Supreme Court cleared the way for the Trump administration's rule that dramatically limits the ability of Central American migrants to claim asylum to go into effect nationwide while the appeals process plays out. Wednesday's order is a victory for the Trump administration, which argued the rule was necessary to screen out "asylum seekers who declined to request protection at the first opportunity." The rule, from the departments of Justice and Homeland Security, would prohibit migrants who have resided in or traveled through third countries from seeking asylum in the US, therefore barring migrants traveling through Mexico from being able to claim asylum. Justices Sonia Sotomayor and Ruth Bader Ginsburg noted their dissent. Five justices were needed to grant the request; the votes of the others were not publicly announced.

The Supreme Court late last month blocked a citizenship question from being added to the 2020 census. Democrats made clear they were prepared to fight any new effort to add a citizenship question. Pelosi, when asked if Trump could still add the citizenship question by executive action, replied: "I don't know." The Trump administration initially announced printing would go forward without the citizenship question. Even though it is not in session, the Supreme Court would be able to respond to any pressing litigation related to a citizenship question on the 2020 census.
