So its Constitutional for a pastor to be arrested for having church but plenty of non essential businesses are allowed to continue to operate?



Yes

Seems discriminatory.


There is absolutely nothing unconstitutional about discrimination. Every single law, policy, etc in existence discriminates

If I had to make a decision based on what you told me and what a doctor who is an infectious disease specialist told me, I sure as hell will not listen to you and yes, I would consider that person to be more educated in the field they are in than me. 


I dont blame you.

But to be fair, they told us masks wouldnt help, now they say they will.

They said hot weather would get rid of it, now thats up in the air.

So lets not pretend they're always right either.

Because the governor said so. If you want to know why that’s the case, you’re gonna have to do an amount of reading I just really feel you’re not up to.

Of course it's discriminatory. All laws are discriminatory. This one is discriminatory against people whose profession or business involves gathering dozens to hundreds of people together all at once, because there is a legitimate government interest in keeping large groups of people from congregating at this time.

So you think the governor should be able to just tell people whatever he wants?

You know, on some level, I feel a perverse joy in some other professions (doctors, scientists, etc) finally joining the legal profession in the lay population believing that they know far more than us, education and experience be damned


Law is closely tied to politics and we have this perverse concept that everyone is entitled to respect for their political opinions (which is laughable), so amateur opinions about law get lumped in.

It doesn’t matter what any given individual thinks, thank God.

Thanks, Facebook, Twitter, and the institutionalization of blue-check ‘celebrities’ that amount to nothing more than bloggers who happen to live in large Northeastern cities.

As a vendor of groceries and medicine, Walmart is essential business.

Church is not.

This really isn't complicated.

Imagine if the next Gov declares a state of emergency due to gun violence or abortions. And applies these same principles. I think everyone should heed the warnings but idiots have the right to be idiots. No?

People would melt.

Was this official information??

I remember when it was first put out there that it dies in warm weather, soon after there were more reliable sources that were saying "we do not know if warm weather will have an impact on this virus".

You have those all day news channels getting anyone they can do interview so they have people on there who spread non confirmed information..

My rule is to stick to the CDC as the main source for any coronavirus related information.

Within guidelines and in circumstances provided for by the Legislature (which is the case here).

If you don’t think he should, you should call your state legislator and talk to him about it.

Sadly, this has been around long before Twitter.

That’s, uh, already illegal in most instances


You think more laws would stop it?
