Two federal judges ruled against the Governor, allowing churches to reopen, but they did not rule until May 8, 2020.

Then, on July 24, 2020, he asked church leaders to suspend services for two Sundays, which most declined to do, and again on November 19^th made another request that churches close, for “three or four weeks,” a request that would have taken them through Thanksgiving.
