In April, U.S. Attorney General William Barr instructed U.S. attorneys to be on the lookout state and local ordinances that are potentially violating citizens’ civil liberties.

How many of the petty tyrants are sitting in Gitmo waiting for their Military Tribunal?

Yesterday, when I was at church to sing for the streaming service, our coordinators told me we can have 100 people next Sunday.

In April...be on the lookout. Yeah, right. What actions exactly has the DOJ taken since then — despite obvious violations?

[Ann Archy]

How WHITE of them!!

None, Barr fire those U.S. Attorneys who ignored the directive.

I’ll bet it’s a long time before we see anymore rats slip into the Governor’s chair in red states.

Awesome. Up here the Bishops are scared of their own shadow. There was a brief window where weddings, while allowed, only could take place with the couple, two witnesses, and the priest—but the Bishop thought that even that was too much and put a total ban in place. In the brief window between the ban being announced and going into effect, four of our seniors and another couple connected with the school who were all engaged moved up wedding dates to beat the ban.

Even where things have not been so draconian, small weddings and shortened engagements have become the new fad in the Catholic circles I circulate in.

[Ann Archy]

Good grief....have you never heard that before??

[Tax-chick]

Oh, school-seniors, not senior citizens. I associate with old people *a lot*!

I think the 100 people at my parish is based on the size of the facility. The setup committee measured everything and did some math regarding six-foot radii and so on. Phil told me they’ll be using the plastic chair (from the overflow area and the parish hall) instead of the cushioned ones. I asked if they were giving away the cushioned ones, because I picked one up out of the back hall a few months ago - “I’m taking this chair, okay?” “Good!” and our cats love it.

At the Spanish Mass for the streaming service, we’ve had between ten and twenty people each, counting musicians, lectors, the a/v guy, and random folks who show up.

[Tax-chick]

I was confused by the usage in this context.

[Ann Archy]

It just means “how NICE of them to do this for us peons”.

[Hieronymus]

These are more the sorts of people who would be into axe throwing.

Gov. Roy Cooper is a democrat. Did you expect anything else out of him?

[Tax-chick]

A good foundation for marriage!

[Hieronymus]

Especially if you heat with wood and want to provide your own wholesome family entertainment.

Phil and Fabio are just following instructions from our pastor.
