The left thinks someone is guilty just because they can get a communist judge or a leftist DC jury to say so.

Malum Prohibitum Churches have been meeting together for prayer and fellowship since before Pentecost. During the early days, when the Roman Empire declared Christianity an outlaw religion, Christians were forced to meet secretly in caves and basements to avoid arrest, imprisonment, and death by torture, crucifixion, or lions. Today, we're seeing a return to that same mentality among the secular left. Governors and mayors around the country have used the excuse of the Wuhan virus to crack down on religious services, particularly of the Jewish and Christian variety (I dare say they're being somewhat more circumspect in their dealings with Muslim gatherings.)

The real problem with people who make no distinction between right and wrong or between honest and dishonest - is that they don’t comprehend that they are laying down a precedent.

Forever and always, if dishonesty allows them to accomplish THEIR goals, every single politician and public official will be free to do the same, at will.

No standard will remain for order, propriety, legitimacy ethics..etc,

The guy who got away with the lie or the theft, etc., will himself become the victim of lies and theft of others.. eventually. He will have NO redress in the law, at all...and neither will anyone else.

Then society and humanity reverts to barbarism.

“Barbarism is the absence of standards to which appeal can be made.”

Jose Ortega y Gasset
