Dayton church blasts Nevada's 'litigation tactic' at Supreme Court

RENO — A Dayton church trying to persuade the U.S. Supreme Court to suspend Nevada’s 50-person cap on worship services is accusing Gov. Steve Sisolak of adding the church’s county to a list of those with elevated cases of COVID-19 as part of a “litigation tactic.”

Calvary Chapel Dayton Valley also argues Sisolak should no longer be allowed to defend the attendance cap as a “temporary” emergency response necessary to slow the spread of the coronavirus.

“Far from being a temporary measure, the governor’s restrictions on houses of worship have spanned nearly four months, with no end in sight,” the church’s lawyers wrote. “Even the rosiest predictions are that a safe and effective vaccine will not be ready before next year.”

Sharpening their attack on a policy they say illegally treats casinos and other secular businesses more leniently than religious gatherings, the lawyers point to Sisolak’s July 10 emergency directive mandating bar closures in seven counties with elevated disease transmission.
