The decision came after GOP state Attorney General Derek Schmidt warned that the order is unconstitutional. Schmidt declared the order to be “sound public-health advice that Kansans should follow” but advised state police not to enforce it.

WTF is wrong with these people???

Are they so weak minded that they can't stay home for a few Sundays? If I went to a church that was encouraging attendance during pandemic, I'd find another church! 🤬

The legislative coordinating council shall have general authority over all legislative services and such authority shall be exercised by such council as it shall determine, except as otherwise provided by chapter 46 of Kansas Statutes Annotated.

The legislative coordinating council may adopt and amend rules applicable to its affairs or to the meetings and activities of special committees, standing committees or advisory committees, except that such rules shall not apply to standing committees meeting while the legislature is in session.

21. Well there you go. Thanks!

4. Kansas business owners and

other organizations should have the right to refuse service to anyone who attends those churches/services. It's obvious that the repugnants are trying to create a "superclass" of evangelicals who are not subject to the law.

[SheltieLover]

8. Right!

Fk that - they are endangering everyone! Because you know they will drag their nasty asses all over the country after going to church.

And, yes, businesses should be allowed to not serve the fkn idiots.

Isn't Kansas the state that tried to ban evolution in public schools years ago, prompting the "Creation" of the Flying Spaghetti Monster?

[spanone]

5. they are eliminating their voters.....proceed republicans

[Takket]

6. they hate their own voters as much as they hate liberals apparently..... HORRIBLE people

[old guy]

9. Christofascists gotta be christofascists.

It's in their genes.

[SheltieLover]

13. Yup

Decreased prefrontal brain lobe function - the "executive center" largely used for planning, etc.

10. Like i need another reason to hate rethuglicons

I hate these fuckers to the max!

[sfstaxprep]

11. I Feel Safer Every Day I Stay At Home

Just knowing that there are IDIOTS like this out there, makes me scared shitless about going outside and being around people.

I'm not in Kansas, but have little doubt, there are folks here who would gladly pack a church if they had the opportunity. They are not taking this situation seriously. STILL.

[DURHAM D]

12. Well, at least the stupid assholes stopped saying the Gov

is coming for their guns.

[catrose]

14. The churches I've attended are doing remote services, because, you know, safety first.

[StFrancis1]

15. see you at yer funeral !

[TeamPooka]

16. Bye Kansas Republicans. You will not be missed.

[orwell]

17. All we are...

...is dust in the wind...

26. +1. Boy howdy, that fits!

[budkin]

18. Good, let them all get sick.

The ignorant cretins.

[SheltieLover]

20. but they will spread it

[gratuitous]

19. Put God to the test

I recall Jesus saying it wasn't a good idea to do that. But what did he know? Let's see if God will miracle your congregation through a pandemic. The downside is that a lot of people who aren't this lethally stupid will have the contagion passed to them.

[Mariana]

22. Jesus also said his followers would be able to heal the sick

by laying hands on them. Christians have to pick which of Jesus's contradictory teachings they should follow.

[RicROC]

23. armbands with a cross?

Make all people who defy the crowd gathering by going to church wear an armband with a cross on it, so that we can avoid them and the plague in social situations.

27. I hate to say it but I live in this hell hole of a state...

I grew up and moved away but family is still here so I came back in retirement...I'd like to live elsewhere
but with my fixed income and health can't really go anywhere. There are a few of us libs here but the stupid
surrounding us is kind of harsh. My fundi neighbors, who I have gotten along with (mainly because they needed
my help to fix their computers and phone) aren't speaking to me now because I wouldn't go to their apt and
help hook up the new 60 inch tv they bought on credit card banking on the stimulus payment. They run all over
creation (thinking the virus is a hoax and jebus is protecting them, I am self isolating and had a bit of a cold
so didn't want to be around these dopes...both for my safety and theirs. So really this is a good thing but typical
of my area....morons....

[DURHAM D]

29. Stupid Republicans picked a great day to show

how stupid they are given that according to the map on MSNBC Kansas went over 1000 cases today.

I watch the numbers as I have many family member there. They are all Methodists so they think watching a service on tv (or not at all) is good enough.

[SheltieLover]

28. Good for you!

I'm sorry you are surrounded by stupid. Me too pretty much here in TN, but at lease good Dem leadership here in the metro area. I'm just not going out. Period. Except for food every 1.5-2 weeks.

I'm so glad you stayed safe & didn't go hook up their tee vee. Why do they always buy tee vees with tax returns & gubmint money? 😳

Cripers, can you even imagine 60" of Fauz Snooze or dump? 🤮

Hang in there, Buddy!

30. They should bring along their snakes

to scare off the virus.

[roamer65]

31. Once they go into the churches they shouldn't be allowed out for 14 days.

Quarantine them.

[SheltieLover]

33. I read yrsterday

that now docs think quarentine period should be longer. More like 3 weeks. So let's round that up to a month to lock them in.

[roamer65]

34. ..

[mshasta]

32. Money

Is all about money, power...

God is in my heart not in a building where I have to pay at end of a prayer

[MoonRiver]

35. Gov. Kelly is furious about this.

She said she will talk with her lawyers today to try and stop this abomination.

[Initech]

37. This could backfire if it goes to SCOTUS.

We saw that with the Wisconsin vote. These waters should be treaded very carefully.

[MoonRiver]

38. I think she has to try.

Nothing could be worse than the current Repuke madness.

[Initech]

36. Absolutely fucking insane.
