pastor tony spell was charged with violating governor john bel edwards coronavirus restrictions by repeatedlydecision comes after the high court ruled against new york's governor andrew cuomo on houses of worship saying the orders strike at the right of religious liberty. here is tony spell from louisiana. thank you for joining us on this cyber monday. we appreciate your time. if we read the legal tea leaves it looks like practicing worship in church during the coronavirus pandemic is okay in the state of new york but not okay in the state of louisiana. what do you make of this? >> the supreme court was not prepared to hear the pastor in america having been charged with nine crimes. booked into prison, put on house arrest, arrested during a prayer meeting. several arrests, all for holding church services and then a 19th judicial district court judge that said we don't have the right to preach to your congregation. with that rejection without explanation from justice alito, we do have all the ammunition that we need to come back up through the appellate courts. on the 5-4 ruling last week it w
