As of July 13th, 2020 ALL indoor Church services have been banned in at least 30 counties, even in-home Bible studies, and fellowship. In other counties, fellowship may be limited to 25% capacity or 100 people, whichever is less. Also, singing, chanting, praise, and worship have been banned. However, the exact same order also allows protests.
Under Governor Newsom’s latest directive, residents of California can engage in protests and riots, but cannot house a Bible Study with a friend or neighbor.
Liberty Counsel will be filing suit against Gov. Newsom on behalf of Pastor Samuel Rodriguez, who is president of the National Hispanic Christian Leadership Conference (NHCLC). The NHCLC represents 42,000 churches nationwide. Sam is also the senior pastor of churches in Sacramento and Los Angeles. The suit will also include many other churches in California.
On July 13th, 2020 California Governor rolled back the phased reopening as the number of Coronavirus cases rose; Most counties, including Los Angeles, San Bernardino, Orange, and Riverside, will be forced to shutter gyms, houses of worship, hair salons, malls and other businesses under the new order, which is effective immediately and remains in effect indefinitely. Also, offices with nonessential workers in those counties must close.

What exactly do you suggest Trump do about this. Take ALL power away from the governors? Rule as a dictator or a King?
Yes because at least they fight dirty and will defend their religion to the death..this scares the chit outta newsom and the likes, but...the Christian on the other hand turns the other cheek!! If our pastors had any guts left they would organize a state wide Sunday morning protest to CITY HALL and Newsom’s king palace!! ENOUGH!! For god’s sake ENUFF!!
Jesus,come quickly.
“...Gotta use a silver bullet....”
LOL....I was thinking more on the lines of a wooden stake driven thru the heart. Oh..wait...that was for vampires.

“Newsom’s office refuses records request on ‘murky’ $1B mask deal with Chinese company”
“Mosques are exempt right?”
Of course. Also, essential gay bath houses, Leftist riots, his winery’s restaurant, and his son’s school.
However, the exact same order also allows protests.
“In China, they’re closing churches, jailing pastors – and even rewriting scripture”
“In recent weeks, we have seen an increased number of church demolitions and cross removals on state-sanctioned churches across China, as house church gatherings continue to face interruption and harassment.”

An Orthodox Jewish group in New York City held a street fair a few weeks ago despite the mayor’s order banning such public gatherings. They got around the order by calling their event a George Floyd protest. Seriously.
“ What exactly do you suggest Trump do about this. Take ALL power away from the governors?”
Sue governors who are violating constitutional rights - like the First Amendment right to worship.
Correct. Hold the meeting or worship service with a big BLM sign up. In small print under the big letters write “Biblical Leadership Matters”!
“ Take ALL power away from the governors?”
Governors do not have the “power” to violate the Constitution.
George Wallace and Southern Democrats used to say governors had the power to segregate their schools and drinking fountains. That was BS then and similar @states rights” claims are still BS
Park picnic pavilion? A parking lot somewhere? Newsome wants Fed intervention REAL bad.
It took months and years for the Federal cases in those Southern states to work their way through the court system. In the meantime, people in California should just hold their bible study groups as they damn well please.
I miss the First Amendment.

When are Trump and Barr going to sue Newsom for violating the First Amendment freedom to worship?
Newsom has been smart to say some nice things anout Trump in public. He knows Trump can be manipulated by personal flattery
Nothing will change until governors such as this need protection at their homes from the massive crowds that WILL break in and take care of things.
They can do it to us.
Either we do it to them twice as hard or just bend over and assume the Dorkbama position.
Hi.
Isn’t Newsom Nancy Pelosi’s nephew?
It all makes sense when you add the variable, “evil.”

Apparently the lawsuits have already been filed by the churches. The only thing for the DOJ to do right now is file the amicus briefs on behalf of the plaintiffs.
