Now a Federal Judge is telling Democrats in New York that the 1st Amendment prohibits persecution of people of faith.
Federal Judge Gary Sharpe ruled that it's unconstitutional for Cuomo and De Blasio ban socially distancing religious service while publicly supporting non-socially distancing protests.
He recognized that if Cuomo and DeBlasio were saying that mass public gatherings with no social distancing were not a public health hazard then outdoor religious services where social distancing occurred couldn't be a public health hazard. That's logic which is to Democrats what garlic is too vampires.
The Judge quoted Cuomo who said:
Protest. Just be smart about it. With this virus, you can do many things now as long as you’re smart about it, right? You can reopen, you can go into a store and you can do a lot of things, just be smart.
But Cuomo said that going to church couldn't be done no matter how smart people were about it.
Judge Sharpe then concluded:
Governor Cuomo and Mayor de Blasio could have just as easily discouraged protests, short of condemning their message, in the name of public health and exercised discretion to suspend enforcement for public safety reasons instead of encouraging what they knew was a flagrant disregard of the outdoor limits and social distancing rules.
They could have also been silent. But by acting as they did, Governor Cuomo and Mayor de Blasio sent a clear message that mass protests are deserving of preferential treatment.
Essentially Cuomo and DeBlasio used the pandemic as an excuse to persecute people of faith. Thankfully the 1st Amendment says that's unconstitutional.
Either large gatherings have to be illegal for all speech or they have to be legal for all speech, which includes religious worship.
Remember how Hillary said that religions would have to change their teachings to conform to what the Democrats say is right? At the same time she and other Democrats started talking not about freedom of religion, which is what the Constitution guarantees, but freedom of worship--you can go to service on Sunday, Friday, or Saturday but you have to keep your religious views to yourself in public.
Now it's clear that just as the Democrat's position on abortion has "evolved" from it should be legal, safe and rare to the more abortions the better the Democrat's position on religion has "evolved" from freedom of worship to religious services are a public health hazard and must be banned.
