I realize these restrictions were already eased but... I don't see how any locale can restrict religious service if it has indoor dining or bars open. If anything, the former can be done with masks. That said, it should be noted that singing/choir indoors is especially high-risk.https://twitter.com/stevenmazie/status/1331838731893043201 …

Indoor dining: unmasked. Again, not making a legal comment. Our hierarchy of closures should have started with indoor dining/bars/gyms—instead, most places kept/keep those open. Worship can be high risk (singing/unmasked) or lower risk (outdoors, masked).https://twitter.com/stagzr/status/1332004718848081920 …

I'm commenting on the legitimacy aspect, not legal basis. Restricting religious services requires a lot of legitimacy and many states have bars, gyms, casinos open. I am not commenting on whatever SCOTUS judges are claiming. I'm pointing out where we are.https://twitter.com/ilikenewspapers/status/1332006038774669312 …

For all I know, the SCOTUS opinion is nonsense. No idea! Not commenting on that. I'm just pointing out that we have a legitimacy crisis. The restrictions don't seem to apply to leaders (Congress wants a banquet for newcomers etc.) or be narrowly-targeted by risk. So here we are.

I have zero opinion on the legal part. We have a legitimacy crisis. It's making it harder for us to convince people.https://twitter.com/sanfordmay/status/1332011589747224577 …

Those were not the restrictions at the time.

But indoor dining (when allowed) still had restrictions; required spacing, limited capacity, table groups didn’t intermingle as would occur in a church setting. A comparable situation for church would be indoor concerts; which were also not allowed.
