Federal Judge Blocks Kansas Limits on Religious Gatherings

A federal judge on Saturday blocked Kansas from limiting attendance at in-person religious worship services or activities to 10 people or fewer to check the spread of the coronavirus, signaling that he believes that it’s likely that the policy violates religious freedom and free speech rights.
The ruling from U.S. District Judge John Broomes in Wichita prevents the enforcement of an order issued by Gov. Laura Kelly if pastors and congregations observe social distancing. The judge’s decision will remain in effect until May 2; he has a hearing scheduled Thursday in a lawsuit filed against Kelly by two churches and their pastors...
“Churches and religious activities appear to have been singled out among essential functions for stricter treatment,” Broomes wrote in his order.

How the hell does kansas of all places elect someone who would even ponder doing this?
Their governor is fricked if voters remember this.

This is when Trump’s judicial picks come in handy

This is the second state I know of where a fed judge did this. It’s clearly unconstitutional (the limits on worship).

Just in time for Ramadan.

Sounds like a “least restrictive means” finding
