Good. They need to join with DiMarzio, the local Catholic bishop (NYC and Brooklyn are separarte dioceses) and file suit. The St. Thomas More Society (public interest law) has been supporting Protestants and Jews in California, and I think the local Jews and Catholics in NYC need to get in touch with them.
There was a time when Staten Island Italians and Brooklyn Orthodox Jews could push an R over the top for mayor in NYC.
Those days are gone, I think.
We don’t have the numbers to cover the difference between idiots and people that are still sane in other boroughs.
That’s how Rudy won.
I fear it was the last time for an R here.
Shouldn’t it be AG Barr ARRESTING and Prosecuting the Governor for Civil Rights Violations??
New York, the New Warsaw under Herr Wilhelm.
Filing a law suit in New York is so passe. The only way for the Orthodox to secure their rights is to riot with serious intent. That is the only action that gets the attention of the Democrats. Then you are speaking their language.
Certainly. You can’t even claim “qualified immunity” when you are violating Consitutional rights.
A civil rights lawsuit will only stand up if the houses of worship have been singled out. If all kinds of similar gatherings have been prohibited then it will be much harder to support a civil rights claim.
“Surge”
What took them so long? Should have sued Sonny Cuomo months ago.
Seems to me that these people should have a very good case...in a *Federal* court at least...on 1st Amendment grounds.
There’s an increase of covid-19 cases
If more people took IQ Tests there would be an increase in idiots too.
Fueled by the 24/7 news tickers showing total cases and total deaths, and the graphics doing the same with the infamous hockey stick __/
“OMG, Ethel...it’s still rising. It’s getting bigger. Don’t look, Ethel!”
