SOURCE: Colorado is Dropping Its Appeal Against Churches
1 min readThe last development in the lawsuit brought by two Colorado churches against the state’s unconstitutional coronavirus restrictions was a plan by the state to appeal the emergency injunction to the United States Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit.
Denver Bible Church of Wheat Ridge, and Community Baptist Church of Brighton, represented by the Thomas More Society, won a preliminary injunction against the state’s enforcement of capacity limits and masking within church services.
The Attorney General of Colorado filed an emergency injunction with the court to keep the restrictions in place, but it was denied.
Mile High Evening News has learned from inside sources that Colorado plans to drop its challenge to the injunction, which would mean the two churches (and all Colorado churches under equal protection) would not be held to capacity and masking restrictions under Polis’ crazy COVID dial.
This is welcome news, although it still fails to establish the fact that under the free exercise clause of the Constitution, the state of Colorado had no right to prohibit churches from exercising their consciences to begin with.
