A federal appeals court has backed California Gov. Gavin Newsom's stay-at-home order banning in-church services to blunt the spread of coronavirus, rejecting an argument from clerics that the governor is treading on their First Amendment right to free exercise of their religious beliefs.

In Oregon casinos are open and churches are closed.
Even churches that provide sanctuary for illegal aliens?
Not very smart of them. They need to read the Constitution.
I always assume that “journalists” are mouth-breathing double-digit IQ idiots, until proven otherwise.

I used to know Dan Collins. He and I were in the same young adult group at our Catholic parish. St. Phillip in Pasadena CA. Maybe 1991-1992. Yes, he was very competent and also conservative. I was single and husband-hunting at the time but wasnt really interested in him. He is of modest stature and I had the awkward feeling that I probably outweighed him. I think he dated and married a lovely and sophisticated young woman who spoke fluent French.
As a grandfather, I approve of you, your husband, Dan and his wife.
You are all doing the right thing.
It's MY duty to make sure that no malignant forces interfere with the upbringing of the children.
Thanks Grandpa.
I encourage everyone on here to read his dissenting opinion; it is excellent, and a really good civics lesson on the First Amendment that can be enjoyed by lay people just as much as legal scholars.

You’ve had too much to think...
It’s not that democrats don’t know God. The globalist left, including Newsom and this so-called judge, know Him, and they have consciously chosen the other side.
But abortive services are essential?
Its very sad, but a lot of the more organized churches - Catholic, Episcopalian, major Protestant denominations - have rushed to close their churches or at least make access more difficult, even before government orders in some cases. And on a local level, some pastors and leaders have even exceeded their state restrictions. Theyre just trying to show what good little minions of the state they are.
The CA folks have got to appeal to the SC or perhaps sue At a federal level. I even think, despite the actions of individual bishops or local church authorities, any such suit might be joined by the big churches themselves at a national level.
Trump has already given his support and practically invited such suits, and the DOJ has already issued warnings about the treatment of the churches.
I read this morning that Lori Lightfoot had her Chicago police goons pounding on the doors of a mostly black Baptist Church there and shouting through loudspeakers at them to desist and come out. It must have been terrifying but the pastor and congregation hung in there (fortunately, the police stopped short of breaking down the doors and throwing flash-bangs) and are now filing suit.
Pelousi’s nephew has winery business associations, pic and choose. He needs to be recalled
And they are trying to show how woke they are, especially now that the POTUS has said churches should reopen.
They want to show that they are more "compassionate" than DJT because they are all about keeping people "safe" but the POTUS is only worried about the economy (/s)

Sounds like Federal Marshalls will need to surround the church next week to keep the local constabulary at bay.
