'California may never again place discriminatory restrictions on churches and places of worship,' Liberty Counsel Founder and Chairman Mat Staver said regarding the decision, which Liberty Counsel won on behalf of Harvest Rock Church and Harvest International Ministry.
California, May 25, 2020 (LifeSiteNews) – A district judge has ordered California Governor Gavin Newsom, a Democrat, to pay $1.35 million in attorney fees and costs to Harvest Rock Church and Harvest International Ministry.
The hefty settlement amount marks a victory not only for Harvest ministries – who sued Newsom for banning indoor worship services – but also for houses of worship across California, since the court order permanently bans COVID-related discriminatory religious service restrictions.
“California may never again place discriminatory restrictions on churches and places of worship,” Liberty Counsel Founder and Chairman Mat Staver said regarding the decision, which Liberty Counsel won on behalf of Harvest Rock Church and Harvest International Ministry.
The court order states that California can no longer impose any COVID-related capacity restrictions on places of worship, unless specific numbers of COVID-related infections and hospital admissions are met. In that case, restrictions on churches cannot be any more severe than those “imposed on other similar gatherings of similar risk.”
The permanent injunction against Newsom, which is the first of its kind against a U.S. state governor, cites several Supreme Court decisions following prior lawsuits against Newsom, as well as a lawsuit by the Catholic Diocese of Brooklyn against New York Governor Andrew Cuomo.

Better late than never?
The judge’s name is Jesus.
Would that it be so. They will try again. They don't give up.
Good Job!
Now start
Preaching
“HellFire and Damnation!”
Really, the Constitution guarantees this in the first place.
But rights not exercised are lost. So we exercise them and we fight fight fight.
I fought by simply attending the worshipping churches. Sadly my personal church kow towed.
They do not, good Christians must practice law right now in order to stop the deep state.
...and other preparations.
You mean HaySuse.
The msm will NOT be reporting this.
The fraud is being exposed.
Bkmk
Tip of the iceberg. Lawsuits will multiply, since Covid caused many politicians to get sloppy with the law.
Newsom is “permanently enjoined state-wide from issuing or enforcing regulations issued in connection with the COVID-19 State of Emergency declared on March 4, 2020.” Sweet.
Everyone who told me to wear a mask at a church or a store since March 2020 is a freaky, pathetic loser. Thankfully, only five people told me to wear a mask in the last year.
Exactly. If ONLY he was paying out of pocket!!!
