Herring still doesnt have much appreciation for civil rights. Hes defending Virginia social distancing policies that led to the pastor of a Virginia church being cited for holding a church service. There were sixteen people in the church sanctuary, which seats 225. The congregation in question serves, among others, recovering drug addicts and former prostitutes.
The church sought legal relief. The Department of Justices Civil Rights Division filed a statement of interest, arguing that the Virginia polices at issue may constitute a violation of the constitutional right to the free exercise of religion.
Herrings office responded with this imbecilic statement:
Donald Trump and Bill Barr should focus on saving lives and ramping up testing, not teaming up with conservative activists to undermine effective public health measures that are slowing the spread of covid-19 and saving lives in Virginia and around the country.
Its not the job of the Justice Departments Civil Rights division to ramp up testing for the Wuhan coronavirus. The Civil Rights Divisions job is to protect against unlawful discrimination, including unlawful discrimination against the right to freedom of religious worship.
Instead of taking the mindless way out attacking President Trump and incanting the words saving lives Herring should explain how anyones life is endangered by a religious service for sixteen people in a sanctuary that holds 225.
When hes finished trying to explain that, Herring should tell us why a meeting of sixteen lawyers in a conference room an event Virginia permits doesnt put lives at the same or greater risk.
Its sad that Northam and Herring place the interest of lawyers in making a buck ahead of the right of devout believers including recovering addicts and former prostitutes to attend religious services. But as I said, its not surprising.

??? My Rights come from GOD, and the Constitution Forbids Government from Interfering with my GOD GIVEN RIGHTS, Subjects Get their Rights from a piece of Paper and hope the Public Masters don't change it.

There are those on here who will argue with you over that!
I know, I've got a dozen or so private, back and forth 'messages' as proof! 🙄
Even on FR .. government run education rears it's ugly head!
