This is probably why we have courts; it relieves pressure on country sheriffs having to arrest people for first degree murder. There was a time when we would agree on matters concerning our unalienable rights. This began to change when social justice warriors all decided that their rights were more important than anyone else’s … and of course, the loudest squeak gets the oil. Remarkably, all of these social justice types graduated from Looney Tunes University and Part Time Law School, where Justice Kagan is an alumni — but it doesn’t take a degree in law to make one aware that all of our institutions have been politicized to the point that makes them no longer trustworthy or valuable to a thinking society. Today, science follows the axiom governing computers: garbage in, garbage out.<br /><br />On the Constitutional merits of this case, it hardly makes judicial sense to allow bars and strip joints to remain open, while discriminating against church assemblies, prayer groups, or choir practices. I will be willing to wager a candy bar that the California Soviet remains open for business. <br /><br />Judge Roberts (who is not a particularly gifted justice), wasn’t wrong to suggest “deference” to an elected head of state — particularly if you agree that it is important for “the people” to choose their own poison in political leadership. Californians have chosen Newsom. Not my idea of clear thinking, but I did mention that we’re talking about California … it’s how the roll.<br /><br />Reading the state constitution, approved by the people at the polls, you will notice that the governor of Weirdifornia has extraordinary powers to act in matters of public health and safety. This makes perfect sense. What doesn’t make sense is Gov. Newsom’s anti-religion biases on an issue that is (a) controversial within the scientific community, and (b) flies in the face of our unalienable rights. In the case of (a), it controversial because science has been politicized to such a degree that no one believes its findings (see also https://bunkerville.wordpress.com/2021/02/08/whom-to-believe/), and in the case of (b), what chief executive doesn’t understand our individual rights of assembly and association? I suspect Newsom is one of those arrogant “whiz kids” who thinks he knows better than almost everyone. Church-goers, for example, must be restricted in their association, but millions of homeless people are free to come and go as they please.

And as you noted, they can choose to be arbitrary about which "science" serves The Party's interest.<br /><br />For those who will still insist that science is not a supernatural supreme entity and so cannot be something religion can be based upon, I simply show them the dictionary says they are wrong. Religion: <i>a pursuit or interest to which someone ascribes <b>supreme</b> importance</i>. <br /><br />And today you demonstrated that science is deemed so supreme that it can be used to limit and penalize other religions.<br /><br />Pascalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00303025432356543062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2481053445293173582.post-66014357271416056482021-02-07T18:35:34.179-05:002021-02-07T18:35:34.179-05:00There are many denominations (sets of belief) of s...There are many denominations (sets of belief) of science. Why is the state endorsing one over the other, or any?<br /><br />"DO AS WE SAY" is the only "science" they follow and unfortunately their science is always shifting to conform to their chosen narrative.
