Please identify ONE LAW (by statute #) passed by Congress that was passed by Congress "FOR THE LAWYERS"! Rather than discuss the merits of tossing the Bill of Rights based on a "health care" exception the "argument" becomes one of attacking and/or marginalizing lawyers.
The "oeb" goes on to spew ......
So, it's much simpler to have a mayor "order" church goers to be arrested WITHOUT any of that pesky "LEGISLATURE" stuff, right?
What kind of fucking idiot advocates a mayor ordering people to be arrested in the process of exercising one of their most cherished rights in the Bill of Rights ....
.. because they MIGHT be infected with a virus???????

A city recently fined parishioners $500 a piece for attending a service in a parking lot where people stayed in their cars.
Fining them and preventing them from holding the service was absolutely unjustifiable. If a church holds a service as Sienna said with reasonable social distancing, people seated 6 feet apart and either outside or not too many in the building, the service shouldn't be shut down. But then you've got the nut case described in Oeb's post who was telling his parishioners to come together, shake hands, etc., not only in violation of local laws or practices applicable to non-religious businesses and institutions, but against reason and common sense. He shouldn't be able to hide behind the cloak of religious freedom.
I'm sure many lawyers will be happy to defend his RIGHT to promote disease if he's a paying customer. Lawyers are always finding how someone's RIGHTS were violated to sue. Then they charge 35% or 40% of whatever they take from the other side. The other side's lawyers take another 10% or 15%.
My uncle, a wise mine, sued a neighbor over an adverse possession case. When they were walking into the courtroom, he told him, "I think I know who's going to win this case." His neighbor indignantly said, "I think I know who's going to win too." My uncle said, "The Lawyers". He was right. He alone paid about $7000 to maintain possession of land worth about $5000. The winners are the lawyers. The reasonable people who would normally do the right thing are the ones who get fucked.
Why are insurance costs so high? Because lawyers are always looking to defend someone's RIGHTS, often for overstated or unjustified reasons.
Why are medical costs so high in the USA? Well, a small but significant part of the reason why is the lawyers. An obstetrician or gynecologist pays $85,000 to $200,000 for insurance.
I hope none of you geniuses go for a rub this week!!!! She MIGHT be INFECTED! Go to Jail!
There is space .... since the same fucking major let loose the convicted criminals so they wouldn't infect others or be infected .......... !!!!! Some one needs to reread Alice in Wonderland!

A larger question, why is it illegal to get a rub and tug? Why are so many more people incarcerated in America than other countries? Why are there so many young black men in jail? Why are businessmen thrown in jail for violating stupid laws? There are three people who were thrown in U.S. jails for terms up to 8 years for inadvertently importing some pregnant lobsters from Honduras, in plastic cases, in violation of Honduran laws that were later rescinded. Well, it's because our government is of the lawyers, by the lawyers and for the lawyers. More people in the criminal justice system represents more business for lawyers.
