Court orders Newsom to pay $1.35M in churches’ legal fees, bans discrimination against churches in COVID policies

[excalibur]

Good on the court! Newsom acted like a fascist, as have so many Blue State politicians during the Wuhan virus farce.

A district judge has ordered California Governor Gavin Newsom, a Democrat, to pay $1.35 million in attorney fees and costs to Harvest Rock Church and Harvest International Ministry.

The hefty settlement amount marks a victory not only for Harvest ministries – who sued Newsom for banning indoor worship services – but also for houses of worship across California, since the court order permanently bans COVID-related discriminatory religious service restrictions.

“California may never again place discriminatory restrictions on churches and places of worship,” Liberty Counsel Founder and Chairman Mat Staver said regarding the decision, which Liberty Counsel won on behalf of Harvest Rock Church and Harvest International Ministry.

The court order states that California can no longer impose any COVID-related capacity restrictions on places of worship, unless specific numbers of COVID-related infections and hospital admissions are met. In that case, restrictions on churches cannot be any more severe than those “imposed on other similar gatherings of similar risk.”

The permanent injunction against Newsom, which is the first of its kind against a U.S. state governor, cites several Supreme Court decisions following prior lawsuits against Newsom, as well as a lawsuit by the Catholic Diocese of Brooklyn against New York Governor Andrew Cuomo.

Something wrong here. A thug's family gets 27M for breaking the law and the collective churches of CA only get 1.3M. This country has gone to hell in a hand basket.

Newsome isn't paying anything. That's what we have argued to change. Those responsible should be personally responsible also.

But to note, he didn't do anything that GOP governors in Ohio and WV didn't do.

I long ago said if you don't treat churches as equals during the pandemic, then it would comeback to bite them and it is holding true.
