ABC News looks at how America reacted to the rising coronavirus death toll and unprecedented unemployment numbers in April.A federal appeals court has backed California Gov. Gavin Newsom's stay-at-home order banning in-church services to blunt the, rejecting an argument from clerics that the governor is treading on their First Amendment right to free exercise of their religious beliefs.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom speaks during a news conference at the Veterans Home of California, May 22, 2020, in Yountville, Calif. ''We're dealing here with a highly contagious and often fatal disease for which there presently is no known cure," Judges Jacqueline Nguyen and Barry Silverman wrote in their ruling denying the restraining order.

Members of houses of worship are not allowed to congregate until the plan's third phase begins, which will also allow the reopening of hair salons, nail salons, barbershops, gyms, movie theaters and sporting events without live audiences.

The Terminiello quote is illsuited to the suituation. Expanded context: 'This Court has gone far toward accepting the *doctrine that civil liberty means the removal of all restraints from these CROWDS and that all local attempts to MAINTAIN ORDER are impairments of the liberty...

ZigFracassi Absolutely ridiculous

The corrupt 9th Circuit Court’s decision will be overturned just like 90% of their rulings have been!

DJx1555 Sanity prevails!!!

Excellent News Churches are not Essential or EssentialServices If you think they are, then your church has the ability to setup an online church service

This will backfire. I suspect the Roberts Court will reverse.

That Judge will be replaced soon.. hopefully soon then later...

It's for your own good! If you repeat it a lot, and it sounds correct, you're a liberal. If, the more you say it, the more you want to tell those saying it, to suckit, then you're a conservative.

wretchardthecat Liberals back liberal banning 1st amendment rights. Shocked.

on to the supreme court, The president only made church a essential service, We are not staying home we are out, We are not listening to Newsom who is a socialist

During a pandemic social responsibility should supercede civil liberties.

This is no news. This 9 circuit protects all liberal decisions.

Church closed? No problem! Here's a church upon a truck! ☮️💜🎶

My question to everyone who are you going to serve yourself men and women in authority or Jesus Christ the choice is yours it's not hard to decide just what your giving up your worldly possessions you can't take it with you so decide

The world says we can make a better place people who are used by the Devil only make it worse instead of seeking God we rather think I know better actually we know nothing at all only God can help those who are not ready for eternity and it's only around the corner today

The world will turn its back on you Jesus Christ will open his arms say welcome home my child the world wants to kill you Jesus Christ wants to save you cause the father sent his son to die on the Cross

Some say this came from China it had to how is it spreading so fast many doctors can't explain it many just make it up as they go on I am here to tell you there is a God his judgement is real time decide are we going to follow Christ or are we going to follow the world

Are we going to serve an almighty all powerful God or the world today who are we willing to put our faith in Christ or world views who claim there is no God we are just here some think we can do whatever when ever we want cause nothing is teal this plague is real

Doesn't want to follow Christ it wants to follow Satan who has convinced America it's ok to make legal to kill a human baby a lot of people who don't love one another parents against rebellious child doesn't know what to do God knows what to do

Never thought in a time when a nation Jesus Christ as its saviour as we do now God has healed many from this plague while many have died the question is this where do you want to spend eternity in Heaven or in Hell these are the only 2 choices the world has made up its mind

Banning Church Services God can heal anyone with any virus who do we believe in there is no God without God there is no Heaven no Hell many people don't know who trust I will tell you this my faith is Jesus Christ who has never lost a battle healed me many times

Democrats love a good dictator

“Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof...” He can cancel churches all he wants, and get the backing of any judge who will do so; but California will be liable for any civil rights suits filed. It’s only 💰

It will be overturned, religious services are essential, unless your a godless commie in that case you have the right not to go to services too. This is America, not China

Excellent. We know what your about now. Keep the pot stores open and block churches from worship.

norisgirl GOOD!

Let the churches infect each other with virus. They've been doing it for centuries.

This is nuts. Think of all the entities allowed to open now and then think that churches are being singled out. Sad and telling

California court, so why would anyone expect anything different?

That is Nonsense and Ridiculous.

Time for some ppl to start dropping dead

how is it unlawful in other states to do so and federal courts said the states were wong in doing so but CA gets told it ok to do what you want i just dont understand the judges in all these cases go by same continuation

Ifb

That’s good news! The country is doing well but needs to persevere...large groups at church would most likely send the states in a backward direction, with spikes in number of cases. Soon enough, if we are diligent, church buildings will be open again!

GOD WILL PREVAIL NO MATTER HOW MANY HEATHENS FIGHT AGAINST IT.

I can see the issues on both sides. But I mean whats the Issue as long as they make sure the 6 feet rule and all have mask on? Everything else is open for that reason now
