Newsom says state will revise indoor worship guides after Supreme Court ruling

[TexasTowelie]

A Pasadena-based church has won a partial injunction against California’s prohibition against indoor worship services to help limit the spread of coronavirus under a U.S. Supreme Court ruling issued late Friday night, Feb. 5. Restrictions on crowd size, singing and chanting can remain in place, however, according to the nation’s highest court.

Gov. Gavin Newsom’s office said Saturday that those state measures were imposed to protect worshippers from getting infected, but that the state will issue revised guidelines for indoor church services.

“We will continue to enforce the restrictions the Supreme Court left in place and, after reviewing the decision, we will issue revised guidelines for worship services to continue to protect the lives of Californians,” the governor’s press secretary, Daniel Lopez, said in a statement.

On a 6-3 vote, justices cited the Constitution’s protection of the free exercise of religion and ruled that “regulations like these violate the First Amendment unless the state can show they are the least restrictive means of achieving a compelling government interest.”

1. Newsom Says State Measures Were To Protect Worshippers From Getting Infected

Screw the "worshippers." They couldn't care less about the lives of everyone else they come in contact with, after gathering in large #'s for indoor services.

Religious people, always pretending that they are good and holy, when quite a few of them are self-centered pricks, who think that going to church is going to get them into heaven, while they can continue pretending to care about their fellow man.
