Rural Illinois church files lawsuit accusing Gov. J.B. Pritzker of relegating people of faith to ‘second-class citizenship’ by shuttering churches – Chicago Tribune
On March 31, Lena police Chief Craig Beintema, who is one of the co-defendants with Pritzker, delivered to the pastor a cease-and-desist order insisting on the Beloved Church’s compliance with the stay-at-home order, according to the lawsuit. The church says it hopes to resume public worship on Sunday without fear of arrest.
Note that this is in federal court.
Based on a recent mediocre state court decision in Michigan, I expect that detractors will be screaming about how Compagnie Francaise de Navigation a Vapeur v. Louisiana Board of Health allows the State to run rough-shod over religious rights. However, I suspect a federal judge will be far less likely than that state judge to ignore the question of whether intermediate or strict scrutiny applies to stay-at-home orders that infringe civil rights, especially when it involves religion.

Dictator Jabba needs a psychiatric evaluation. It’s clear that his Mussolini complex is largely rooted in an attempt to regain the manhood he lost with his wife refusing to live with him
A largely unasked question is becoming glaring: Is Illinois doing all it should to use artificial intelligence to make government cost less and work better? So far, the evidence says no.
