Thread about the ruling tonight in SCOTUS on denial of an emergency injunction pending appeal in South Bay United Pentecostal Church: 1/ https://www.latimes.com/politics/story/2020-05-29/supreme-court-california-church-crowds-pandemic

2/This is 1 of 3 religious liberties cases @Liberty_Ctr
team is handling, in this case together with @FCDFtweets & @ThomasMoreSoc. We disagree with Justice Roberts that going to church is like sports, and also disagree that faithful need to get a license to pray every 21 days./

3/ This case is at a very early stage -- denial of TRO -- and @GavinNewsom changed his order between the time we filed our emergency appeal to SCOTUS and the time of this ruling, by shifting from no services allowed to 25% capacity or 100 people allowed, and county certification/

4/ every 21 days. There is no 100 person limit to shop at a Costco, no 21 day licensure by the county for any other activity besides attending a house of worship. Rioters in Oakland are allowed to threaten police; Planned Parenthood is allowed to murder innocents unabated; &

5/ people who think church once a year is good enough are telling people of faith that they may perform secular activities but worship only under state-dictated conditions. Our nation was founded on the premise that the king had no right to tell the serfs how they could pray/

6/ and today's ruling does not alter the fact that our right to worship comes not from Sacramento or Washington but from God, & we will find a way to worship God, together, while we fight for the restoration of our civil rights. The curve was flattened long ago. #OpentheChurches!
