CA Governor Gavin Newsom Finally Admits He's Not Bigger Than Jesus

California Governor Gavin Newsom finally bent a knee to the First Amendment right to the free exercise of religion and admitted that he and his COVID rules are not bigger than Jesus Christ—or small houses of worship, for that matter.

It only took a year, millions of dollars in legal expenses, and people who put away their fear to fight the state and pray to their God at house church gatherings to change the law.

On Monday, Newsom and company ceased requiring location and capacity limitations on these churches.

Quote
In response to recent judicial rulings, effective immediately, location and capacity limits on places of worship are not mandatory but are strongly recommended. The linked guidance is in the process of being updated. All other restrictions in the guidance remain in place.

Whether for house churches or small groups from larger churches, it's about time! Multiple USSC rulings have chewed away at Noisome's thinly smoke-screened anti-religious regulations. Given the current long-term lack of any kind of new cases surge, similar regs on businesses should be reviewed from a perspective of having to prove that any of them are justifiable.

The USSC ruling made some important distinctions. First, a state being able to point out that some similar activities are treated similarly or worse does not satisfy the Strict Scrutiny standard for evaluating whether a restriction violates Free Exercise. If some similar activities are less restricted (as was the case), then the reg violates Free Exercise. Second, a state loosening its reg after being challenged does not moot the challenge, as the state can easily retighten the reg after the challenge is dismissed as moot.
If, as anti-Covid-vaxxers claim, https://www.poynter.org/fact-checking/2021/robert-f-kennedy-jr-said-the-covid-19-vaccine-is-the-deadliest-vaccine-ever-made-thats-not-true/ , https://gospelnewsnetwork.org/2021/11/23/covid-shots-are-the-deadliest-vaccines-in-medical-history/ , The Vaccine is deadly, where in the US have Pfizer and Moderna hidden the millions of bodies of those who died of "vaccine injury"? Is reality a Big Pharma Shill?

Millions now living should have died. Anti-Covid-Vaxxer ghouls hardest hit.

Saw a comment the other day after this ruling first came out from a reporter from Slate seemed absolutely gobsmacked by this ruling.

Thomas, Alito, Gorsuch, Kavanaugh, and Barrett have used the shadow docket to establish a new First Amendment rule: Whenever the government grants an accommodation to secular activities or establishments, it MUST give that same accommodation to churches and religious activity.

It's almost like he's never actually read the 1st Amendment.
The libs/dems of today are the Quislings of former years. The cowards who would vote a fraud into office in exchange for handouts from the devil.

Here lies in honored glory an American soldier, known but to God

THE ESTABLISHMENT IS THE PROBLEM...NOT THE SOLUTION

Republicans Don't Need A Back Bench...They Need a BACKBONE!

Liberty Counsel says It's Time to Put Newsom in Quarantine

Five times since March 2020 church leaders in California have taken Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom all the way up to the Supreme Court. Five times the High Court has slapped down some aspect of his authoritarian Covid lockdown measures as violations of the First Amendment’s guarantee to every American citizen of the right to worship and assemble without prior permission or limitation of government

The infamous Ninth Circuit has typically been there aiding and abetting Newsom, so the High Court’s most recent slap-down was aimed at both the liberals on that bench and California’s chief executive.
...
And in his response earlier this week to that fifth reprimand, Newsom made it clear, according to Liberty Counsel, that he isn’t backing off any time soon.

Quote
“After five reprimands from the U.S. Supreme Court, Governor Newsom responded on Monday to Liberty Counsel’s lawsuit that ‘mandatory limits on attendance are no longer imposed on houses of worship.’ However, there are still restrictions on singing and chanting and Gov. Newsom wants the freedom to reinstate the same unconstitutional restrictions,” Liberty Counsel explains in its analysis.

  • That is the problem with everything. They try and make it better without realizing the old is fine.
