California Globe:
Earlier this week, the state of California agreed to a deal with the South Bay United Pentecostal Church of Chula Vista and Bakersfield-area priest to pay $2.1 million in legal fees to the Thomas More Society law firm following several indoor worship lawsuits in which California had lost.
Last year, Gov. Gavin Newsom’s COVID-19 lockdowns included indoor church and worship bans throughout both California and the United States. This led numerous churches to challenge these lockdowns based on First Amendment freedom of worship arguments, and in the case of South Bay United Pentecostal Church v. Newsom, to challenge it based on retailers receiving lesser restrictions on churches, such as some retailers receiving 50% capacity reductions, while houses of worship were tied to only allowing in 25% capacity.
Many of the cases reached the U.S. Supreme Court, where they ruled that while singing and chanting could be barred under COVID-19 restrictions, indoor services could not be denied.
they’ll just funnel that money from their bailout money
it is meaningless to them
that should be accompanied by 10X punitive damages
they knowingly and maliciously violated civil rights
Problem is, the taxpayers are on the hook for that money.
Gov. Gruesome won’t feel the pinch at all.
If these legal fees were to come directly from the wallets of law makers pulling this crap, they might not be so quick to make ridiculous mandates.
Never in the history of the world has there been a situation so bad that the government can’t make it worse.

$2.1 Million for the plaintiff’s attorneys.
How much did Californians pay their contracted attorneys?
Just cost of doing the business of pushing the Leftist agenda!
This is peanuts to the Leftist financiers trying to destroy America!
Newsom and his succubi should have to pay it out of their own pockets – NOT the taxpayers.
The “judge” is a fuckup to allow this to happen – the taxpayers had no part in the decision.
