“A small number of religious communities, specific churches and specific synagogues, are unfortunately not paying attention to this guidance even though it’s so widespread,” the New York Democrat said Friday at his daily press briefing.
“I want to say to all those who are preparing for the potential of religious services this weekend: If you go to your synagogue, if you go to your church and attempt to hold services after having been told so often not to, our enforcement agents will have no choice but to shut down those services,” he added.

He then went on to declare that they could be shut down permanently if they continue ignoring his orders to avoid gatherings-
here;s his direct quote- shoulda put it in my last post- sorry-
“If that does not happen, they will take additional action up to the point of fines and potentially closing the building permanently,” he said.
Mosques included?
Bully.
[Mosques included?]
Of course not. This will be directed at Christians and Jews only.
Lemme see... permanently shut down places of worship. Wonder what the First Amendment has to say about that.
Any body wanna bet that even this obviously unconstitutional measure wouldn’t receive at least 4 votes in SCOTUS?
I hope that someone goes after this a$$hole for violating the 1964 Civil Rights Act.

All of these want to be dictator liberals we’re gonna have to get the cops to enforce whatever stupid orders they come up with and I can tell you for a fact the cops don’t want any part of this
The answer should be obvious, but if it is, it's in the wrong direction.
Warren Wilhelm (his real name) is beginning to get in touch with his inner dictator.
Mosques exempted, of coursr.
“If that does not happen, they will take additional action up to the point of fines and potentially closing the building PERMANENTLY,”
The real authoritarian danger is from the LEFT
New Yorkers don’t have 2nd Amendment rights, why should they expect to have 1st Amendment rights?
liberals try to get around that by claiming their is no constitutional protection for gatherings in a place of worship believe it or not-
This man should be horse whipped
Romans 13:1-7
Submission to Governing Authorities
13 Let everyone be subject to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God. 2 Consequently, whoever rebels against the authority is rebelling against what God has instituted, and those who do so will bring judgment on themselves. 3 For rulers hold no terror for those who do right, but for those who do wrong. Do you want to be free from fear of the one in authority? Then do what is right and you will be commended. 4 For the one in authority is God’s servant for your good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, for rulers do not bear the sword for no reason. They are God’s servants, agents of wrath to bring punishment on the wrongdoer. 5 Therefore, it is necessary to submit to the authorities, not only because of possible punishment but also as a matter of conscience.
6 This is also why you pay taxes, for the authorities are God’s servants, who give their full time to governing. 7 Give to everyone what you owe them: If you owe taxes, pay taxes; if revenue, then revenue; if respect, then respect; if honor, then honor.
I wonder if he’s threatening to shut down all homeless encampments because they violate the 6 foot social distance numbers, and because they are all gathered together in one spot too-
Maybe church goers should self identify as ‘Temporarily homeless’ while gathering, and dare him to arrest them as homeless people lol-
