Amy Coney Barrett CONFIRMED to the U.S. Supreme Court

[hashmander]

yeah the EO banned a lot of secular gatherings like salons, gyms, restaurants, schools

No. 202.68: Continuing Temporary Suspension and Modification of Laws Relating to the Disaster Emergency

makes perfect sense that it wouldnt apply to liquor stores or bike shops because you just go in to buy something rather than staying around for a prolonged period of time with other people

they are being deliberately obtuse. next they'll be arguing why are grocery stores open and and movie theaters closed, both are indoor gathering places.

Churches Were Eager to Reopen. Now They Are Confronting Coronavirus Cases.

 

[hashmander]

the way churches are behaving in 2020 shows it's just a money grab. you can understand the small business owner desperate to salvage something so (s)he throws caution to the wind and needs to reopen. but why are churches so desperate when the services they offer can be done online? is it because tithes and offering is down? i think so.

there is no excusing this

This is actually very frustrating. People are hiding avarice behind the guise of religion

that's exactly what it is and there have been articles about it. Religion is a business.


Churches closed in Europe during the worst outbreaks. This is an American problem.

From another law professor. So we’ve got a court with bigots, an alcoholic, and religious zealots who can’t even keep up with their own legal reasoning, but conservatives just fall in line. All it takes is a surface level analysis that ignores years of precedent. Amazing stuff.

So ban all guns and not just assault rifles?

So all drugs are a go and not just marijuana?

If thats how you feel...
I believe all guns(and all drugs) should be legal...
Be consistent and dont single out religious groups... its an easy way to kill good policy.





On October 5th Andrew Cuomo held a press conference where he all but directly blamed the Hasidic Jewish community for any future spikes in COVID-19 cases in New York. As with all previous press briefings, the Governor utilized a supplementary powerpoint presentation. On the slide entitled "Religious Gatherings", the Governor displayed two photographs of what New Yorkers have recently been conditioned to view as backward and primitive disease-carriers; a vast sea of black hats donned by members of the Hasidic Jewish community. The Governor warned the public that these photos, showing Hasidic Jews disregarding the State’s outdoor gathering limit of 50 people, were taken at gatherings in recent weeks.



Shortly after, it was discovered that one of the photographs Cuomo used was actually from a 2006 funeral. The blunder suggests that whoever compiled the presentation was more concerned with the narrative than with the truth.

Hogwash. Religions like to look for persecution where there is none.

I agree, but if you target them specifically, with restrictions on exercising their religion, I expect them to win in court
The SC either throws it out or they win IMO

 

[Pressure]

I'm throwing a religious service. 10% cover. All you can communion. Doors never close.

All businesses had restrictions placed on them. Churches aren’t above restrictions.

How is that not consistent?

Making favoritism rulings is not consistency.That’s just random legislation without understanding what the goal is.


Seat belts are in all cars cause they save lives across the board. Not all cars are prone to roll over concerns.

So if your goal is safety you modify different testing for different concerns.



if he went in and told them they can no longer serve the host. Yeah that’s singling out.

Except as others have already pointed out, religious groups weren’t singled out. Various kinds of businesses and industries have faced the same or even more stringent restrictions under Cuomo’s EO.
