A U.S. district judge issued a ruling Sunday upholding Gov. J.B. Pritzkers stay-at-home order for Illinois as constitutional.
The Beloved Church of Lena, an Evangelical church located about 50 miles west of Rockford, had filed a complaint Thursday seeking a temporary restraining order and injunction in order to resume worship services with its 80 congregants.
The church and its pastor, Stephen Cassell, still held in-person service Sunday without intervention from police, though the temporary restraining order was denied.
Given the continuing threat posed by COVID-19, the [stay-at-home] Order preserves relatively robust avenues for praise, prayer and fellowship and passes constitutional muster, Judge John Z. Lee wrote in a 37-page decision.

Right wingers have been pounding our governor with lawsuits on the stay at home order. One is standing and is being appealed by the governor. I am guessing there will be more.

(13,903 posts)1. I sometimes wonder, even with the risks to sane people...
why we stop the magical thinkers from testing God...and possibly killing themselves.
My patience has run thin, you can't fix stupid, you can only protect yourself from it as best you can.
There will be no awakening to the risk, they will write it off to God's will and plan.
Let them suffer and kill themselves.
