Can you guys believe Trump is encouraging the protesters? He's actively dividing the country even during a pandemic!!
Putin chose well...
In some cases I support and encourage demonstrators to express their opposition to overreaching, unconstitutional restrictions imposed by governors and local officials.
In a challenge to restrictions issued by Kansas Governor Kelly, Federal Judge John Broomes ruled that “Plaintiffs have made a sufficient showing that a live controversy exists as to whether the Governor’s current restrictions on religious activity...violate Plaintiffs’ First Amendment right to freely exercise their religion."
“Defendant has not argued that mass gatherings at churches pose unique health risks that do not arise in mass gatherings at airports, offices, and production facilities. Yet the exemption for religious activities has been eliminated while it remains for a multitude of activities that appear comparable in terms of health risks.”
Governor Kelly's attorneys claimed that churches weren't singled out.
Judge Broomes was not persuaded.
“I don’t see how you can say that doesn’t target religion...when it is expressly aimed at religion. [You are] calling them out separately and that seems to be the issue here...You have picked and chosen who will get exceptions and what those exceptions will be.”
