I'm thinking that retaliating for challenging LA County in court may not have been the wisest move. The eviction could be challenged and tied up in court as retaliation for asserting Constitutional rights. And in the original court case this retaliation would be evidence that LA County's violation of Grace's Constitutional rights is willful.
The constitutionality of Newsom's order is being challenged in multiple cases around the state. And as I keep saying, this is a confrontation government should not have initiated. No one will win, no matter the outcome. Communities benefit from governments and churches and synagogues and temples and ... working together for the good of the community. Regardless of who wins in court, communities lose because of the alienation and distrust that was engendered by government initiating this conflict.
My church does a LOT of community projects through the year and does a lot with the school district in which the church campus is located. I cannot speak for my church, but I will be giving thought to projects in which I volunteer, whether the direct benefit is to Santa Clara County or to schools or residents or NGO charities. Santa Clara County has come down on at least two churches in Silicon Valley (one of which is mentioned in another thread).
