A church seeks Supreme Court review after being fined over $1.2 million for holding in-person worship during the pandemic, arguing the penalty violated its constitutional rights.
Calvary Chapel San Jose and Pastor Mike McClure are seeking U.S. Supreme Court review after being fined over $1.2 million by Santa Clara County for holding in-person worship during the pandemic, while secular businesses like restaurants remained open.
The church argues the fines violate the First and Eighth Amendments, claiming the government treated religious gatherings more harshly than comparable secular activities.
Advocates say the case raises critical questions about religious freedom, government overreach, and the constitutionality of imposing massive penalties on churches for worship.
The Supreme Court has not yet decided whether to hear the case.
