California Gov. Gavin Newsom has been ordered by a federal judge to pay $1.35 million for the lockdown of 3,000 churches amid the coronavirus pandemic, which has been deemed discriminatory.
Newsom is required to pay the costs and attorney fees for a lawsuit from Harvest Rock Church that went to the United States Supreme Court. The judge said Newsom and other state officials cannot regulate church attendance unless certain dire circumstances laid out were to arise, which is not likely.
U.S. District Court Judge Jesus G. Bernal ruled that limitations on church gatherings can only be imposed if child infections rise 100 percent, cases in the state are at a minimum of 26 per 100,000 people or available ICU hospital bed capacity drops to under 20 percent.
California may only place restrictions on churches if they are identical to other social gatherings.
Bernal ruled:
Any new public health precautions on religious worship services and gatherings at places of worship not in the guidance [are included].
Mat Staver, founder of Liberty Counsel, a nonprofit law firm that represented the church, told the Washington Examiner that Newsom was is the "worst governor in America when it comes to religious freedom.
The church stayed open [during the lockdown], and the pastor and parishioners were threatened with daily criminal charges that were up to a year in prison.

Failed Newsome won't pay a dime - he'll simply steal more money from CA taxpayers to cover the bill for his crimes.
Whatever happened to prison terms for malfeasance? I sure hope his ass is recalled, but I don't think the idiots and parasites left in CA after all the normal Americans fled are smart enough.

Can you explain exactly what it is that you see so all fired LOL funny with your death and destruction wishes or threats?
It appears that this Gatlin chap has either not seen the movie or is seriously lacking a sense of humor.
"Nuke It From Orbit" is a popular catchphrase used in discussion forums to express one's extreme disapproval of a particular image or link posted by someone else. In other words, when "killing it with fire" isn't nearly effective enough, "nuking it from orbit" is your last resort because it's the only way to be sure.
Origin:
"Nuke the entire site from orbit--it's the only way to be sure" is a quote taken from the 1986 sci-fi film Aliens in which Ripley (played by Sigourney Weaver) decides that nothing is worth saving and that the only sure way to destroy all of the aliens is to nuke their habitat from the orbit.
