Federal court allows drive-in church services for Easter in Louisville (Religion Clause)

“On Holy Thursday, an American mayor criminalized the communal celebration of Easter,” the court ruled. “That sentence is one that this Court never expected to see outside the pages of a dystopian novel, or perhaps the pages of The Onion … It is ‘beyond all reason,’ unconstitutional … Here, Louisville has targeted religious worship by prohibiting drive-in church services, while not prohibiting a multitude of other non-religious drive-ins and drive-throughs – including, for example, drive-through liquor stores.”
