A California state judge on Thursday ordered Calvary Chapel Church, San Jose, in Santa Clara County to pay $1.2 million in fines for violating COVID-19 restrictions on masking, social distancing, and gatherings.
And one reason the county knew the church ran afoul of those rules was that its employees tracked the congregation by their phones.

There’s a reason why the Bible says it is a curse to be ruled by judges.

Don’t give the Sodomites the cash. Hand it out to the poor or hide it, whatever. Then continue with services, and make the Sodomites come arrest you. Have hundreds there. They count on fear based compliance. They will do it, but they despise what they call “bad optics”.

“It should appear clear to all — regardless of religious affiliation — that wearing a mask while worshiping one’s god (sic) and communing with other congregants is a simple, unobtrusive, giving way to protect others while still exercising your right to religious freedom,” Pennypacker wrote in her ruling, according to CBS News. It should be clear by now that masks provide zero protection against the virus.

”In your face” is our communist masters' favorite tool to rattle the chains of tyranny that they have wrapped around our necks...
No Big Deal!
Our communist masters know that the pathetically servile and indolent Aamerican people will just continue to roll over and spread their collective cheeks...

During the Wuhan Flu panic a Federal judge ruled that the Massachusetts Governor's order that all gun ranges must close was a violation of 2nd Amendment rights and ordered them reopened. I'll wager that the Federal courts would rule the same here...a violation of 1st Amendment rights.

When will the politicians of both parties who locked down their states be fined for what they did to us.
Why is Republican Kay Ivey who spoke of “regular folks” as opposed to “unvaccinated folks” still the Governor of Alabama?
Why? Why? Why?
