“ It should appear clear to all—regardless of religious affiliation—that wearing a mask while worshiping one’s god and communing with other congregants is a simple, unobtrusive, giving way to protect others while still exercising your right to religious freedom. Unfortunately, defendants repeatedly refused to model, much less, enforce this gesture,” Pennypacker said in her ruling. “Instead, they repeatedly flouted their refusal to comply with the Public Health Orders and urged others to do so ‘who cares what the cost,’ including death.”


But Joe Biden at the same time let 5 million unmasked unvaccinated illegal aliens cross our southern border. Go sue him

Yeah, sock it to them. They have no right at all to defy the rules of the health department. They have no rights over their own bodies. Why not charge them 3 billion and send some of the money to the war in the Ukraine, and take their kids away, and empty their bank accounts. I am sure Santa Clara the saint would approve of this move.

Well if I were defense counsel I would enter into evidence the hundreds of peer review studies that show that masks DONT WORK.

During the Wuhan Flu panic the Governor of Massachusetts,a Trump hating RINO "Republican",declared, among many other things,that all the state's gun ranges were to be closed tight...no activity allowed at all.

Someone took it to a Federal court and that court ruled that the order was a violation of 2nd Amendment rights.The gun ranges were immediately able to reopen.

Seems likely to me that *somewhere* along the line a Federal court would rule *this* as a violation of Constitutional rights as well.

Make the church members wear a yellow cross on their clothes, smash the windows on their businesses at night, send them off to a camp. Been tried before and it didn’t end well for the oppressors.

A Democrat stooge, first appointed by "Moonbeam" Brown.

Took some digging, but she's a partisan Democrat, pretending to be a non-partisan judge.

Millions pouring over what used to be the southern border
Pelosi getting her hair cut
Newsom going to the French Laundry for dinner with cronies
Hundreds of thousands gathering for BLM protests
Thousands of antifa destroying cities

NOTHING!

But a church meeting where people can pray!? Whoa, that’s too far.

They should research the results. What were the infection, hospitalization, ICU and death rates for the parishioners? I’ll bet they would find ZERO difference from the generation population.

Didn’t end well for most the oppressed, either.

It’s a wonder anyone with any sense still lives in California.

I left 18 years ago, and as I type, my brother is dragging his last load of stuff to his new home in Tennessee.
