Late Friday night, the Supreme Court ruled that California cannot prevent people from gathering in homes for religious services. The unsigned order came in a narrow 5-4 vote just before midnight. It was part of the court’s so-called “shadow docket” — not part of the normal court calendar and with no oral arguments before the justices.
Also on Friday, President Biden signed an executive order that’s setting up a commission to explore ways to reform the Supreme Court, including the size of the court, and whether or not justices should have lifetime appointments.
