[Mrs. Don-o]

This is just a bluff being pushed for (1)publicity and (2)intimidation: "chilling effect." Of course, it could succeed at both. But it won't result in anything in relation to the law.

No candidate was mentioned, for or against. No political party was mentioned, for or against. That means: there was no electioneering.

Churches and clergy are ALWAYS permitted ("permitted"!) to talk about issues.

“Churches and clergy are ALWAYS permitted (”permitted”!) to talk about issues.”

Permitted? By who?
