![]() Wanted to set up a place for this issue.
the Covid1984 issues has a been used as another wedge to chip away at even more civil liberties in general but again it has had a special impact on those with a religious beliefs. the 1st story i want to post is about Pastor in Canada who spent time in prison for refusing to abide by the gov't "GUIDELINES". there's more on him and other Churches in the USA and elsewhere... will add later.

However, until that happens, these wanna be dictators need to understand that their emergency powers do NOT usurp the rights guaranteed in the Constitution. I know that the stories in this thread were in Canada, but there have been reports of similar enforcements in the United States.

![]() He did not break the law.
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. The constitution is the supreme law of the land. So any law banning religious gatherings is totally illegal. Those that banned religious gatherings should be the ones thrown in jail.Hopefully the pastor sues the **** out of the city for blatantly violating his constitutional rights and wins a **** load of money.
