(Worthy News) – The Supreme Court ruled against a Nevada church that was seeking to overturn the state’s mandatory cap on attendance because of the coronavirus pandemic.
The high court ruled 5-4 against the Calvary Chapel Dayton Valley in Dayton, Nevada, on Friday, with Chief Justice John Roberts joining the four liberal justices.
