Bill de Blasio threatened to permanently close down places of worship that don’t toe the line on New York City’s shutdown order.
Specifically calling out synagogues and churches, the mayor on Friday somehow overlooked mentioning mosques in his authoritarian press conference declaration. [Tweet / video]
“I want to say to all those who are preparing for the potential of religious services this weekend: If you go to your synagogue, if you go to your church and attempt to hold services after having been told so often not to, our enforcement agents will have no choice but to shut down those services,” said de Blasio.

I sincerely hope people are paying attention. This is the power that the Democrats have always wanted. This would never get through the current Supreme Court. But if a Democrat becomes President and packs the court with liberals this will be our new normal.

Cuomo is on Fox now droning on about his smartness. We don't give a rats about him in TX. What he is talking about is NY, a state that has more cases than the rest of the country. What can I learn from listening to his gassing?

And exactly where in the Constitution say you have religious freedom,
unless Bill says you don't?
None of this stuff is legal.
And "I was only following orders.",
will be no defense.

Give it a go and you might get to learn about the 1st amendment by virtue of the second amendment.

Remember the cartoon thing about Mr. Bill ? Oooooh NOooo.

Will he seek them out in basements and other hiding spots and then introduce them to staving beasts in sports stadiums converted to his new Colosseums?

This is all being done in the name of public safety so that makes it OK (/s). Somebody show me how this is different than a dictatorial takeover. Never let a crisis go to waste, right Bill?

This is quite typical of people who have no fear of criticizing religion excepting Islam. They know that there will be no consequence from the rest of we spineless critters. No so with followers of the Prophet. They will fight back, as there is no better way to go than in a fight for Allah. Big brave (B.S.) Bill.

Here is an ideal way for the Catholic Church to show some backbone and prove that it is worthy of rebuilding its dwindling numbers. Any comments from Frank?

Dangerous criminals can run free, no bail required. But good citizens who wish to attend church services, well, the full power of the state will be brought down upon you!

An empty threat as the Supreme Court would come down on de Blasio like a ton of bricks.

Probably would require that for the churches to reopen, they must worship the Unholy Trinity - Satan, Baal Melqart, and Hillary. Mosques will all stay open, of course.

Important point, #8. The residents/voters of NYC have proven themselves to be thoughtless, ignorant and careless about liberty. They seem to have traded Liberty for some sort of phantasmagoric sense of security, they don't need the Second Amendment. If you've ever seen "man on the street" interviews, you find how really little so many of those people know, but they think they know. How else does one explain a re-elected Mayor DeBlahBlah?

My church is open but not open to the public. I will be stopping by tomorrow to drop off the face masks that I am making.

Let the mosques stay open - they can all infect each other just like they’re doing in Iran. Let Allah save them.

I am not sure that he has the authority to do such a thing. I agree it;s not a good idea to congregate, but where do these petty tyrants get off? If they want top push people around, there are enormous numbers of predators and illegal aliens running around just begging for some authoritarianism. But Nooooo
