MUST THE CHURCH BE FORCED TO FOLLOW GOVERNMENT PROSCRIPTIONS THAT LIMIT THEIR FREEDOM? THE CONSTITUTION WOULD SEEM TO SAY NO: “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof.” DOJ: ‘Expect Action’ to Protect Churches From Tyrannical Local ‘Social Distancing’ Orders

“‘On Holy Thursday, an American mayor criminalized the communal celebration of Easter. That sentence is one that this Court never expected to see outside the pages of a dystopian novel, or perhaps the pages of The Onion. But two days ago, citing the need for social distancing during the current pandemic, Louisville’s Mayor Greg Fischer ordered Christians not to attend Sunday services, even if they remained in their cars to worship – and even though it’s Easter,’ the judge wrote.”

The judge is U.S. District Court Judge Justin Walker, a Trump appointee. And you thought judges weren’t that important. — Dave
