Lee said it wasn't a mandate, though.

"This is NOT a mandated 'shelter in place' order, because it remains deeply important to me to protect personal liberties," Lee said at a Monday afternoon news briefing.

The order takes effect at 11:59 p.m. Tuesday and lasts through April 14, during which time only essential businesses are to continue operating and residents are to stay home "as much as possible," per Executive Order 22, which was being filed Monday with the Secretary of State's office.

Executive Order 21 was also filed Monday, which specifically orders the temporary closure of salons, spas, concert venues, theaters and other indoor recreational facilities.

Putin has finally decided to lockdown Russia. They've supposedly only got about a thousand cases but yet they're building 16 hospitals to care for these patients...I don't believe the meager numbers they're releasing

It's refreshing to see this. Hopefully it isn't just lip service.

No, but this one is especially dumb because I'm assuming (since this is a church) he had a disproportionately older crowd there, who this virus does pose an elevated risk to, and he knows those people are going to do what their pastor tells them to.

Agree that it was dumb.

Mine has been closed for weeks and I still hate they did it. I feel it could be open and we could maintain safe distances as well as discourage elderly from attending.

In some places that could work. This case is ridiculous though. Everything in the area is shutdown and this goofball had busses running to pick people up.

I don't care if they have had discussions with him or not, he didn't deserve to be arrested. IMHO it's a massive breach of the 1A.

If literally EVERYTHING wasn’t shutdown, I’d agree with you, but I don’tThink a case can be made that any particular entity has been targeted.

He shouldn't have been arrested regardless. He and his congregation have a constitutional right to assembly.

I don’t know, you can’t yell “Fire” in a movie theater because it poses a public risk. I would think this falls in the same category. Right to speech and assembly has always had some limitation.

Good god I wish people would stop with this fallacious argument.

It isn't fallacious. The rights in the Bill of Rights are subject to limits.

The church service, in the current circumstances, was (rightly or wrongly) deemed to be a threat to public safety. It isn't like the shutdown applies to just churches, so there's no freedom of religion case to be made either.
