“Zoning regulations that impose unreasonable restrictions or prevent religious faiths from having a place to worship violate RLUIPA. The complaint also alleges that the Township’s zoning ordinance treats houses of worship and other religious assemblies and institutions on less favorable terms than nonreligious assemblies and institutions. RLUIPA is a federal law that protects religious institutions from unduly burdensome or discriminatory land use regulations. In June 2018, the Justice Department announced its Place to Worship Initiative, which focuses on RLUIPA’s provisions that protect the rights of houses of worship and other religious institutions to worship on their land. More information about RLUIPA, including questions and answers about the law and other documents, may be found at http://www.justice.gov/crt/about/hce/rluipaexplain.php.

2/13: CBS This Morning Saturday Frigid Arctic blast brings snow and cold weather to U.S.; Houses in New Orleans are transformed into Mardi Gras floats

Houses in New Orleans transformed into floats for Mardi Gras Mardi Gras parades in New Orleans have been canceled for this year – but that's not stopping residents from celebrating in a big way. Thousands of houses have been transformed into floats.

In that case, the Supreme Court ruled 5-4 in favor of churches and synagogues that argued New York Governor Andrew Cuomo's limitations on attendance at religious institutions in coronavirus hotspots were unconstitutional. Justice Elena Kagan, joined by Justices Sonia Sotomayor and Stephen Breyer dissented in the Colorado case, writing it is moot because Colorado lifted the attendance limits in response to the Supreme Court's ruling in the challenge to New York's coronavirus restrictions. The dispute over the capacity restrictions was brought by High Plains Harvest Church, a church in Ault, Colorado, and its pastor, Mark Hotaling. In its filing with the Supreme Court asking it to lift the cap, High Plains Harvest Church said "it is difficult to imagine more blatantly unconstitutional discrimination against religious gatherings in favor of secular gatherings." But the state told the court it amended the public health order setting the restrictions to remove attendance limits from all houses of worship in response to the Supreme Court's recent decisions in similar disputes.

While the state said “the safest way to celebrate is to stay home,” IDPH said trick-or-treaters this year should only travel with other members of their household. And, both trick-or-treaters and those passing out candy must wear masks and maintain a 6-foot distance at all times.

During the COVID-19 crisis, weve all been forced to stay home a lot more and that has folks rethinking about where that home should be. Metro Detroit real estate agents claim business hasnt slowed down one bit. In the last two months, unemployment has been at an all-time high, so youd think people would stop buying homes like they did in past recessions -- but its actually the opposite. Real estate agent Nick Sloney said when the stay-at-home order was lifted, the market picked up immediately and that its a different kind of recession. Another reason people are eager to buy is the mortgage rates are at an all-time low.

WASHINGTON The Supreme Court on Wednesday temporarily prevented the House of Representatives from obtaining secret grand jury testimony from special counsel Robert Mueller's Russia investigation. The American people deserve the truth.The case is one of several ongoing court disputes between the Trump administration and Congress. The Supreme Court heard arguments last week over whether Trumps accountants and banks must turn over financial records to House committees. Portions of the report were blacked out, including grand jury testimony and material that Mueller said could harm ongoing investigations or infringe on the privacy of third parties. Grand jury testimony is typically treated as secret, in part to protect the privacy of people who are not charged or are considered peripheral to a criminal investigation.

The courts conservative majority signaled concern about improper harassment of Trump - who is seeking re-election on Nov. 3 - by three Democratic-led House of Representatives committees seeking his records. Trump, unlike other recent presidents, has declined to release his tax returns and other financial records that could shed light on his net worth and the activities of his family real-estate company, the Trump Organization. Two of the three cases before the justices involved House subpoenas seeking Trumps financial records from his longtime accounting firm Mazars LLP, Deutsche Bank AG and Capital One Financial Corp. Roberts pressed one of Trumps lawyers, Patrick Strawbridge, on whether lawmakers can ever subpoena a presidents financial records. Why should we not defer to the Houses views on its own legislative purposes? asked conservative Justice Neil Gorsuch, a Trump appointee.

A couple of weeks later, a second bipartisan bill, the Families First Coronavirus Response Act, was signed into law by President Donald Trump. The third and most significant emergency relief bill yet, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act, became law at the end of March. While an imperfect bill, the CARES Act includes necessary provisions to help workers, small businesses and medical professionals. The CARES Act establishes a new Paycheck Protection Program that offers a critical lifeline. The CARES Act also provides additional funding to support hospitals as they treat the sick.

WASHINGTON, DC The House of Representatives is telling the Supreme Court it will agree to a 10-day halt in its fight for President Donald Trumps financial records. The Houses top lawyer has responded to Trumps emergency filing on Friday asking the justices to block the enforcement of a subpoena issued by a House committee to Trumps accountants. Lawyer Douglas Letter tells the high court that the House opposes any lengthy delay in obtaining the records. But Letter says 10 days is enough for the orderly filing of legal briefs so that the justices can decide whether they will jump into the dispute between Congress and the president. The high court has a separate pending request from Trump to block a subpoena from a New York prosecutor for Trumps tax returns.

An estimated 13.8 million people watched live coverage of diplomats William Taylor and George Kent on the first day of the Houses public impeachment hearings on President Donald Trump. Former special counsel Robert Mueller had 12.9 million viewers in July.

Nielsen said an estimated 2.9 million people watched Foxs coverage, making it the networks third most-watched day of the year. MSNBC was second with 2.69 million, ABC had 2.01 million, CBS had 1.97 million, CNN had 1.84 million and NBC had 1.68 million, Nielsen said.

House Intelligence Committee Chairman U.S. Rep. Adam Schiff, (D-CA) speaks with members of the news media during the ongoing impeachment inquiry into U.S. President Trump on Capitol Hill in Washington, U.S., November 4, 2019. REUTERS/Leah MillisWASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff said on Monday he fully expected four White House officials scheduled for depositions with investigators in the Houses impeachment inquiry to defy congressional subpoenas. We expect the witnesses who have been subpoenaed to come in this afternoon, at White House instruction, also to be no-shows. This will only further add to the body of evidence on a potential obstruction of Congress charge against the president, Schiff told reporters. The officials were called in to testify in the Houses ongoing impeachment inquiry stemming from a July 25 call in which U.S. President Donald Trump pressed Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy to investigate one of Trumps domestic political rivals, former vice president and leading Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden.
