Kansas Gov. Laura Kelly sues GOP lawmakers for revoking her order limiting church gatherings

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Kansas Gov. Laura Kelly (D) sued a Republican-controlled legislative council on Thursday after it revoked her executive order that limited church gatherings, marking the latest chapter in an escalating conflict between public health and religion during one of the holiest times of the year.

In a petition to the Kansas Supreme Court, Kelly asked the judges to resurrect her Tuesday executive order that limited religious gatherings and funerals to 10 people amid the covid-19 pandemic. She argued Wednesday’s party-line vote revoking her order, by the seven-person Legislative Coordinating Council, was unconstitutional.

In an interview Thursday, Kelly called the vote “mind-blowing.”

“This is a purely political move, one that I find incredibly unfortunate,” she said. While the legislature as a whole has the authority to check her emergency powers, she argued, the seven-person council does not.

4. Maybe the pastors have the power, but they are going to end up killing people. This is what

happened in Georgia, where they traced the outbreak of the CV to 3 funerals (and services held for the funerals), which is causing a serious outbreak now in Georgia. I am guessing that in a lot of places, churches and associated services, funerals, etc. are probably a leading cause of spreading the CV in rural communities, and perhaps some urban environments. IMHO, I would seriously avoid any in person services at any church led events.

5. Easter will be our generation's Liberty Loan Parade

After 200,000 people attended the parade in Philadelphia in 1918, within a week the morgues started to fill up.
