GAVIN GETS SLAPPED DOWN BY CALIFORNIA JUDGE: The Golden State’s chief executive has issued anti-Covid regulations that are likely the most discriminatory against Christians in the nation.

But late Thursday, California Superior Court Judge Gregory Pulskamp waved the red flag, specifically citing the Supreme Court’s recent comeuppance to New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s similarly bigoted regulations aimed at Jewish and Catholic gatherings in Brooklyn.

It takes time for Supreme Court precedents to be applied as widely as needed, but this decision suggests that Justice Alito’s efforts on behalf of the First Amendment and religious freedom are bearing fruit rather quickly.
