It’s fitting that 2020 would end with a federal court finally siding with religious institutions over New York’s arbitrary and restrictive COVID-19 regulations, put in place by left-wing politicians. New York City’s bevy of ignorant elected officials has been showing their anti-religious bigotry for months without consequence.

On Monday, the Second Circuit in Manhattan sided with Orthodox Jewish communities and a Catholic diocese striking down New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s COVID-19 executive orders that limited seating capacities at houses of worship. The three-judge panel on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit unanimously said Cuomo’s arbitrary restrictions “discriminates against religion on its face.” The groups sued Cuomo over the restrictions back in October.
