Now that is some bullcrap, I can understand Lewis having a funeral, he was a long time congressperson but George Floyd was a nobody before he was killed and he had 3 funerals


I can’t understand him having A funeral attended by the same people saying “regular people” can’t have equal funerals. We don’t have classes in America. (At least we’re not supposed to)

im being fully serious in this discussion.  Freedom of religion and freedom of speech are both first amendment rights.  Neither are absolute rights.

 

limits on attendance to religious services (equally applied to all religions) is going to be upheld.  And it has been upheld consistently, including the Supreme Court.

 

restrictions on protests have been made and are okay.  But simply preventing people from protesting in public spaces, would never be attempted or upheld.  It’s clearly unconstitutional 

 

 

How is that an idiotic statement?

 

Why is the government restricting church services?  What is the end game on that?

I’m just pointing out that comparing the protests to churches is comparing two entirely different concepts that have entirely different bodies of law.  It is not apples to oranges, it’s fruit to sports.  Applying first amendment law to freedom or religion is an entirely different concept than applying the relevant law to freedom of speech.
 

you can throw your hissy fit because you don’t understand all you want.  The difference between me and you is that I understand this topic is highly confusing and complicated, while you think it is very simply.  You should be more aware of your ignorance.  


And I’m saying, your argument is based on years of abuse of the constitution, and not the constitution itself. The first Amendment provides equal protection for the exercise is religion as it does the freedom of speech. 
 

Let’s only go on what SCOTUS says- black people aren’t humans, and your argument is valid. 
 

 

Appealing to the difficulty of an argument is a fools way out. You’re a fool. But we knew that already.

im not saying I agree with it, I don’t.  I’m just saying the protest issue is entirely irrelevant and is used by politicians to rile up the less informed.  So they can say “derrr they don’t restrict protests but they restrict churches...”

and you can to grasp that what constitutes freedom of religion is not the same thing as what constitutes freedom of speech.  Both are protected, but they are two entirely different concepts.

 

but yea, everyone is a fool.  200 years of cases and opinions are fools for not grouping them together.  Everyone is a fool but you.

Can you read?  I didn't ask if you agreed with it.  Why is the government restricting church services?

Their reasoning is public health.  
 

I can link you to  the Supreme Court opinion if you want to learn more about the state’s reasoning.

@Crayola64

 

the First amendment is built upon itself as a whole unit:

 

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

 

 

Remove part and you invalidate all. Your belief that certain things can be limited based on precedent is the same mentality that led to Dred Scott and a billion other horrible decisions by SCOTUS overreaching and writing law instead of interpreting it. 
 

But by all means, burry your head and continue in your ignorance.

that’s not what I’m saying at all but ok.  We can’t have a genuine discussion about this because you have no idea what you  are talking about.  The law on the first amendment is thousands of pages long.  You can’t understand that it goes beyond the actual words in the constitution.  
 

neither right is absolute?  Okay.  Of course they can be limited.

That’s because it doesn’t. Anything that goes against the initial constitution and the bill or rights either explicitly or implicitly is a badterdization of law that’s been slipped in over the years by corrupt officials. No secondary law can counter the highest law of the land.

 

You’re arguing that one freedom protected can be revoked and limited as needed, but the other can’t. 
 

besides, your entire argument started with the “the government can’t limit” protests which you immediately backtracked on and said they can limit them, just not to the extent that they can limit religious expression cause mah precedent.

none of that is what I said.  But okay.  
 

my point is that comparing the two are lazy, intellectually dishonest, and political manipulation.  You don’t agree, which is wrong, but okay.  I have no need to convince you.  
 

I think the protests should be allowed because of course they should be.  Preventing them from occurring is obviously unconstitutional 

 

i think churches should be open.  But that legal issue is much closer.

Correct.  When does public health take precedent?  So they care about public health for certain things but not others?

The key word is establishment. They didn't want government to establish a state run religion.  What they fled from to begin with. Why its listed so prominently.

It has to be intentional because he's proven that he can at least provide some coherent thinking from time to time here.

 

Unfortunately, this is the norm for leftists: instruct, accuseor blame the right for doing things that the left is literally doing while they instruct, accuse and blame.

 

Obama stands in a crowd to tell people they shouldn't stand in crowds, and the left's response to the obvious stupidity of what Obama is doing is "Well, you're missing the point..."

 

 

 

He's good at aggregating mainstream data and understanding the analysis through a mainstream viewpoint.

 

Anything outside of that?

Bill Gates: Dr. Fauci allowed to tell truth on 'some days' unless 'contradicted by his leadership'

 

NO WAY - say it ain't so - the Dictator in Chief contradicting the EXPERTS? Sending mixed, incoherent messages? DAILY?

 

I mean - look how it's turned out here in the Divided States of America as COVID continues to spiral out of control and our economy tanks. US is turning into one of those "schitt hole" countries Trump talks about...

RIP Buddy: The first dog to test positive for the coronavirus in the U.S. has died

 

If we’re still learning about how the coronavirus spreads among humans, and why some people get so much sicker than others — then we’ve barely scratched the surface with what it does to pets.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

But the Mahoney family’s struggle to get him tested and to fully understand why their pet’s health declined so rapidly — and whether lymphoma, which wasn’t diagnosed until the day he died, played a part in it — illustrates just how many questions remain about the virus’ effect on animals.

 

https://on.mktw.net/3ghPiAJ

 

 

 

The media knows we have gotten so dumb we have zero time to read the articles, the patience to do so, or that we even bother to care and ask questions.  Headlines all that matters bc we are bombarded with 1000K of them a day.

 

Lying.  About.  Everything.

So it will take until the end of Sept to fully slide down the curve again.

 

Nationally, the decline might be just a little slower because some smaller population states are only rising now...my guess would be a steep drop in cases and hospitalizations over the next 3 weeks, maybe a little level, then the next drop. Deaths are still rising. Not sure how long it will take them to peak. 

 

Schools reopening may create some more cases this fall--that's the next data point that's uncertain to me.

Go back to pushing fear and panic, you’re better at that. 

 

Fear and panic? I think we should be fully open and should not have shut down except for NYC and maybe two weeks in the northeast when doctors were clearly not ready and needed a moment to prepare. 

 

But don't let a fact get in the way of your preconceived notions.

OMG!!!!  900 cases a day for the last 7 days!!!!!  7500 cases!!!!!

 

 

"New cases of COVID-19 reported in Virginia in the past seven days have more than doubled from the new cases seen six weeks ago.

 

The state added 984 cases Friday, bringing the 7-day total to 7,524, according to the Virginia Department of Health. That's up from 6,931 last week and 3,582 reported the week of June 19."

Here is what the UVA Model told Governor Blackface would happen when we reopened WITH MINIMAL INTERACTION:

 

From May 28:

 

Virginia could peak at more than 5,000 new COVID-19 cases a day this summer, UVA model projects

Under a “light rebound,” where Virginians’ social interactions return to one-sixth of pre-pandemic levels, the state’s peak of new confirmed cases is projected to come during the week ending Aug. 9, according to the latest UVA model. That scenario projects 38,546 new confirmed cases for the week.

 

The model suggests that if residents interact even more, returning to one-third of pre-pandemic levels, the peak will be higher — 65,454 new confirmed cases in the week ending July 26.

Wrong. They also didn’t want anyone to able interfere with the free expression of religion.

One of the main talking points among Democrats in order to keep the COVID-19 panic going is that it’s far too “dangerous” for our kids and everybody else to even consider starting in-person schooling in the fall. It’s gotten so dramatized that in Iowa some teachers have even been sending Iowa’s governor copies of their mock obituaries as a way of trying to point out how dangerous it would be to open schools.

 

 

At a House hearing today that also included testimony from Dr. Fauci, CDC Director Dr. Robert Redfield poured some cold water on Democrats insisting that it isn’t the best interest of kids or anybody else to send them back to school:

 

 

 

SCIENCE !

So Bill Gates is  your expert on all things if Jen isn't available.  Got it. 

 

What if Bill's not available?  Where do you get your expert information from then?
