A test case is already in the courts challenging JB “Jelly Belly” Prickster’s order. The church lost the first round when some liberal judge refused to block the order banning them from holding church with <10 people present. So they are now appealing and it sounds to me like they have a very strong case:
“Governor Pritzker’s arbitrary 10-person limit applies only to churches but not to the many other businesses open in Illinois today, from liquor stores to lawyers to pet groomers,” Peter Breen, vice president and senior counsel for the Thomas More Society, which represents the church, said in a statement late Monday.
All that needs to happen is for more oppressed people to stand up and say “no more”. Legal experts seem to agree that governor’s emergency powers cannot trump the bill of rights without extremely good reason and not for extended periods of time. If we fight, we will win.
I’m thinking some church needs to hold services with more than 50...let the cops shut ‘em down, then kill ‘em on constitutional grounds.
