They said it. I didn't.
The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals on Friday ruled that Democratic California Gavin Newsom's ban on in-person church services during the coronavirus pandemic can stand.
The lawsuit, filed by South Bay United Pentecostal Church in San Diego, prevents that church from reopening, according to the Los Angeles Times
The "constitutional standards that would normally govern our review of a Free Exercise claim should not be applied," wrote the two judges in the majority opinion.
"We're dealing here with a highly contagious and often fatal disease for which there presently is no known cure. In the words of Justice Robert Jackson, if a '(c)ourt does not temper its doctrinaire logic with a little practical wisdom, it will convert the constitutional Bill of Rights into a suicide pact,'" according to the opinion.
The ruling came from Judges Jacqueline Nguyen and Barry Silverman, Nguyen is an Obama appointee and Silverman, a Clinton appointee. The 9th Circuit has a longstanding terrible reputation, but this is a new low.
About the only thing Nguyen and Silverman didn't do is reference crying fire in a theater. Perhaps these two lefty scholars can point us to where the First Amendment states, "except in an emergency".
Are they proposing the suspension of the Bill of Rights until there's a cure. Which may never happen.
Bizarrely, the Democrat judges are quoting a minority dissent arguing that speech could be censored if it was inflammatory. Jackson was arguing that the authorities should have the right to stop Nazi supporters from saying racist things in public because it would lead to disorder and then America would go the way of Nazi Germany. Jackson was a great man, but wrong in this case. That he's being quoted by the majority in this ruling is troubling at best considering the original implications.

The dictators and thier helpers wont give up thier powers
You omitted /sarcasm
Liberalism is the Incurable Disease. It lives on all consuming hate. Hate for all that is good in the world.
But, yes you are right.
They are provoking President Trump. In reaction to what he said about opening the Churches.
Their evil will consume them.
No, the asymptomatic may be as high as 50% of the population. And some of the population had prior immunity.
The infection rate may be as high as 75%.
The death rate will be way below 1%.
This will pass before the November election.
Yes. They hate all that is good and serve the father of evil.
It will consume them.
We will Remember in November. I pray the election ends it, it probably won’t be that easy or quick.
It will end.
Yes. I agree.
Socialism? Yes, it is the Virus.
Totalitarianism in all forms is evil. And it serves the wrong master, serves the Great Evil.
Thank you for doing that.
Yes, the 9th Circus.
Head shake.
Agree
Yes. I am glad I am not in a NY Nursing Home. And that my 94 year old father is not. He is still at his home, with help.
Nothing will be OK with the Governor.
He seeks our destruction. His hate will consume him.
Yes, as you said, it will go as far as the People will allow it.
Agree on that with most law schools, but it is worse. The Judicial process has been poisoned by 8 years of the Obozo Administration. Actually it began in the 1960’s.
“the day that Biden is elected”?
It is unlikely the ComDems will nominate Biden. They will pull a rabbit out of the hat at the convention. Or whatever on-line selection fraud they plan to use.
I hope this election cycle ends the ComDem party. But it won’t. Too much evil to be silenced that quick.
PSA
But the “lockdowns”
Can,will be reactivated
on a whim.
That’s the counter argument, and I think it is what will happen.
God Help Us.
It is 0.0003 fraction of population who have died,
which equals 0.03 PERCENT.
To obtain percentage of a fraction, you have to multiply it by 100.
I have master’s in mechanical engineering.
I still remember how to compute percentages even at age 80.
