Where does this authority come from, Adolf?
Adolf claims he didn't apply the ban to protests cuz "we have a Constitution". Obviously, the clown has never read it.
No singing in church? Three California churches sue Gov. Gavin Newsom over state ban
In the latest challenge to Gov. Gavin Newsomâs restrictions aimed at curbing the threat of coronavirus, three Northern California churches sued Wednesday seeking to overturn his ban on singing and chanting inside houses of worship.
The lawsuit, filed in federal court in Sacramento on behalf of Calvary Chapel of Ukiah, Calvary Chapel of Fort Bragg and River of Life Church in Oroville, seeks an injunction against the state health departmentâs July 1 order that places of worship âmust therefore discontinue singing and chantingâ as part of the effort to slow the spread of COVID-19.
The suit, filed by Southern California attorneys who have filed other lawsuits challenging Newsomâs previous restrictions on in-person church services, says the governor banned singing and chanting inside churches but not in any other locations, and notes that at the same time he âhas been unwavering in his support of massive protestsâ against police brutality.
âOn or about July 2, 2020, following implementation of the Worship Ban, when asked to explain whether people should heed Newsomâs mandate and avoid large crowds and gatherings, Newsom refused to place the same restrictions on protesters and explained âwe have a Constitution, we have a right to free speech,â and further stated that âwe are all dealing with a moment in our nationâs history that is profound and pronounced ... Do what you think is best,ââ the lawsuit says.
The suit quotes Scripture to emphasize the importance of singing in church, saying that âsinging and praying aloud as a body of Christ is an integral part of worship for believers and plaintiffs.â
âLet me be clear, the state does not have the jurisdiction to ban houses of worship from singing praises to God,â Robert Tyler, one of the lawyers filing the suit, said in a statement.
The governorâs office did not immediately respond to a request for comment Wednesday night.
