When leftist s***bags like Murphy think of the Bill of Rights at all, they think only of how to get around or subvert it.
Hence the problem.
the people of the state should say “Well, we weren’t thinking of contracts when we hired you- you’re fired!”
Geez I wasn’t thinking murder was against to law when I opened fired on him. Think that would fly?
Donut Boy Christie never thought about it either.
Not even the atheist commies at their height in the 1960s dared to just ban all religious gatherings by decree.
I, [NAME OF ELECTED GOVERNOR], elected governor of the State of New Jersey, do solemnly promise and swear, that I will support the Constitution of the United States and the Constitution of the State of New Jersey, and that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same, and to the governments established in the United States and in this state under the authority of the people, and that I will diligently, faithfully, impartially, justly, and to the best of my knowledge and ability, execute the said office in conformity with the powers delegated to me, and that I will to the utmost of my skill and ability, promote the peace and prosperity and maintain the lawful rights of the said state, so help me God.
If Fail Murphy wasn't thinking about the Bill of Rights at any time during his tenure as governor, then he should resign immediately because he has failed to even live up to his own oath of office.
But, but, but, the science and the data . . .
LOL.
Beautiful.
None of these assholes have ever read the Constitution, yet they swear an oath to it. Bunch of lazy, pathetic liars and crooks.
When did Christie ban religious gatherings?
His 'paygrade' not only includes upholding the Bill of Rights, it's based on it. If he believes the Bill of Rights is above his paygrade, then he just admitted that he's under qualified for the position, and should resign accordingly.
Article I section 3 of the New Jersey State Constitution also calls for the freedom of worship. Let the litigation begin.
He did nothing to restore the 2nd Amendment rights to New Jersey.
The governor is getting a bad rap. He’s banning all assemblies of more than 50 people. His motive is without question only to reduce the spread of the disease.
If 50 people gather together and three have Corona, after the gathering is over possibly 20 will have Corona and they can spread it to others that didn’t attend.
The governor must think of those others. Those 50 people by gathering can become a danger to others.
The problem with Wicca-tholics like Murphy, Pelosi, et. al., is they call others Nazis while failing to realize that they are acting just like the German Nazis of 90 years ago right up to and including the occult beliefs and practices.
The basic issue is this: If a government imposes restrictions on religious institutions while allowing business establishments to operate under similar conditions without those restrictions in place, then the government has violated the First Amendment rights of the religious institution.
If Walmart and grocery stores can operate with protective measures in place, then there is no damn good reason why a church couldn't do the same thing.
The State of New Jersey is going to get its ass handed to it in Federal court when this is all over ... and Murphy's "I wasn't thinking of the Bill of Rights" statement is going to be Exhibit A for every plaintiff who sues him.
