Interesting but worse than useless
Berenson cites an extremely lawyerly comment from a lawyer.
The lawyer points out that the Supreme Blackrobes created a precedent in major cases enabling abortion and deleting state sodomy laws. The precedent, if used now, would clearly forbid the insane "virus" rules against private gatherings in your own house.
Ideally the precedent shouldn't be necessary anyway; the tradition of letting people do ordinary things in their own houses is extremely old. It's pretty much the basis of civilization, and it was explicitly prescribed in all the usual documents from Magna Carta onward.
Using the abortion precedent would place the Supreme Blackrobes in a slightly uncomfortable position for a few microseconds. Then they would go ahead and write the ban on private talking and gathering into a permanent absolute "law" that would immediately be enforced by the Army with nuclear missiles against "authoritarian" states like South Dakota that insisted on retaining civilization.
The Supremes ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS give NYC what NYC wants. No exceptions ever. That's their sole purpose, and they've been doing it perfectly since 1803.
