This has been going on since Nero with varying levels of success. Vigilance required.

How does this idiot mayor think this censorship would ever be upheld in the courts? The city attorney should be disbarred for ever supporting this BS

Although because of the 1st Amendment, it did stop or did not last long in America during these past few centuries.

This is why you have the “2nd”, which protects the other “9”.

If your town or city elects an open, practicing, militant lesbian as mayor it’s not worth saving.
If you were waiting for a message you just got one.
Time to pack up and move to a place where sanity still prevails.

Why do we have to have a permit to exercise the “2nd” but not the others?

Give it time. Soon you’ll need a permit to give your opinion.

She doesn’t think she can win - she is tying them up in red tape trying to scare them into backing down.

One might want to look at the court episode unfolding and how a Texas judge will sit there and bring ministers into court, and then realize that they can start sermonizing their entire commentary....bringing in witnesses to also sermonize, and create a monkey-court of the whole thing. I’m just curious which judge will see this as a mess and he gets him removed from the unfolding episode.
All of this will play out with Latino voters in the city, who are possible Democrats but also strong-church-going members. If you ask me....they really screwed up the city elections in 2016, and created a huge pit for the mayor and city council to fall into.

Evil loves a vacuum, and eventually grows to the point where there is NO escape for those who would not stand and fight against.
Am glad these pastors are fighting back and making an issue of their being intimidated. It needs to happen more often.
Of course, if Houston had a mosque preaching jihad against all non-Muslims--I'm sure the Mayor would be just as "outraged"! /s

COWBOY UP! Christian men if they true plan to serve such 'warrants' then I say surround your church, surround your pastor's home and dare anyone to try and cross in an attempt to deliver such warrants! If you let them come for your Pastor they will soon be coming for you!! Time to make the Bundy ranch look like a square dance!

How does this idiot mayor think this censorship would ever be upheld in the courts? My guess is that the direction this will go is to deny/rescind the tax exempt status of churches that don't "toe the line"...

If these were black churches, Eric Holder would be suing the City of Houston. Why can’t Abbott sue? Is he afraid of controversy before the election?

The same reason obamacare was upheld by the courts. The same reason the sham of same sex “marriage” was upheld by the courts. If you are depending on the courts, you are depending on a broke stick. The Left is now in full control of the courts.

What do you mean? They find the right judge. Here in Oregon 57% of the voters amended the state constitution declaring marriage is one man and one woman. The militant homosexuals filed suit, found a homosexual judge to hear the case, the Democrat states attorney did not show up to defend the state constitution and poof, we have same sex marriage!
Now the militant homosexuals have done this in over 10 or 15 states and now they can audit, restrict and shut down any church they want with the right judge. They win, Christians loose, will Christians ever get up off their asses and fight?
