California asks Supreme Court to ignore churches’ appeal as more speak out against coronavirus restrictions
(Worthy News) – California’s attorney general on Monday urged the Supreme Court to reject a petition from a group of California churches disputing the state’s coronavirus restrictions.
In a lengthy explanation submitted to the court, Xavier Becerra defended Gov. Gavin Newsom’s coronavirus restrictions against a dispute from the churches, part of a network run by Harvest International Ministry, which have been locked in a legal battle with Newsom since July, when they sued the governor for banning singing and indoor services. Becerra said in response that now more than ever, Newsom’s restrictions on churches have become justified.
“Scientific knowledge concerning COVID-19 is rapidly developing and now provides even stronger support than before for the restrictions at issue,” he wrote. “More importantly, like many other parts of the nation, California is experiencing an unprecedented surge in COVID-19 cases, creating an even greater public health need for restrictions on prolonged communal gatherings in indoor places.” [ Source: Washington Examiner (Read More…) ]
