Citing protests, federal judge strikes down Cuomo and de Blasio lockdown orders for churches
Washington Examiner ^ | June 26, 2020 | Nicholas Rowan

A federal judge on Friday struck down orders issued by New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo and New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio that limit the size of church services.

The ruling, a preliminary injunction delivered by District Judge Gary Sharpe, notes that by endorsing protests for racial justice while simultaneously discouraging large gatherings in churches, both Cuomo and de Blasio undermined their claim that their lockdown orders were "generally applicable."

PA’s Tommie the Commie Wolf got a similar grilling from a judge after he had personally participated in a protest.

So, the nation’s worst mayor, and the Nursing Home Killer have made a misstep? Maybe they would be satisfied if we just removed Jesus from all the churches?

It astounds me, the mental midgets who are successful in politics. What the hells is wrong with America, that we repeatedly elect obtuse intellectual lightweights to office.

“The Ninth Circus and/or Judge Emmett Sullivan haven’t weighed in on this yet...

Trump’s working on the ninth. The Senate confirmation of Lawrence VanDyke and Patrick Bumatay to the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals this month brought to nine the number of appointments President Donald Trump has made to the 29-member bench that serves as the last stop for nearly all legal complaints lodged in nine Western states. Democratic-appointed judges now hold a three-seat majority, compared with 11 at the start of Trump’s presidency. Just give him some time. Good things go to those that wait.

Oh, look. Good news.

Free Republic’s pearl-clutchers, doom and gloom morons and its assorted surrender monkeys will avoid commenting because the article doesn’t bolster their psychotic pessimism that all is lost and we’re all gonna die.

Good. If one can protest, one should be able to do whatever else he/she/it wants to. Just don't go to church!

Again, Whatever else he/she/it wants to do. Just do it and just don't go to church!
