New York Governor Andrew Cuomo on Thursday dismissed as "irrelevant" a U.S. Supreme Court decision blocking coronavirus restrictions imposed on religious gatherings, saying it related to specific areas that were no longer considered at high risk.

The court, which has a 6-3 conservative majority, voted 5-4 late on Wednesday in favor of requests by the Roman Catholic Diocese of Brooklyn and two Orthodox Jewish congregations for an injunction to block the restrictions from being enforced.

The order marked one of the first consequential actions on the court involving President Donald Trump's new appointee, conservative Justice Amy Coney Barrett, who cast a deciding vote in favor of the religious groups. Conservative Chief Justice John Roberts dissented along with the court's three liberals.

"HAPPY THANKSGIVING!" Trump tweeted on Thursday in response to the decision.

The case stemmed from an Oct. 6 decision by Cuomo, a Democrat, to shut down non-essential businesses in targeted areas where infections have spiked, including some neighborhoods in Brooklyn.

New York has categorized areas where coronavirus infections are increasing in severity as yellow, orange or red. Under Cuomo's restrictions, houses of worship in red zones could remain open at 25% capacity up to a maximum of 10 people.

In a call with reporters on Thursday, Cuomo said the high court's ruling would have no impact on the state's virus control efforts because the red zone status for the area in question had expired last week.

"It's irrelevant from any practical impact because the zone that they were talking about has already been moot," the governor said. "I think this was really just an opportunity for the court to express its philosophy and politics."

He has single-handedly driven most of the money people out of NY and to tax free havens in Florida. ;)

I'm dying to know what makes him conservative. Any idea?

These Cuomos are literally a worse plague than any germ -- and whenever you see ostensible gentiles acting thus you can rest assured there's a jew in the woodpile. Their disgustingly unctuous father was bad enuff, but their mother, his wife, had the untypical -Italian-looking name Mattia Raffa. What DO you know......

I see Mario's Italian-born parents gave him the un-Italian middle name of Matthew. "The family ran Kessler's Grocery Store in South Jamaica, Queens" -- wikid.
