Okay? Saluting the flag doesnt harm others. The country doesn't have a compelling interest there but might in this case.


Get Devin to explain the significance to you, perhaps he can throw in some info as to why it's wrong. :rofl:

Sucks when you try to be a smarmy jackass and realize that the person you are talking to knows more than you huh?

No, I don't like living in places filled with people like you. It is quite literally and figuratively, very shitty. =)

You just compared spreading diseases to saluting the flag. That is insulting to America cuck.

It looks like the us govt is approving use of tax payer funds to help mosques survive during the pandemic

Where do our resident pardians stand on this issue? Where do our constitutionalists stand?

Certain situations will provide a compelling interest and others won't. Nobody here is claiming that a compelling interest exists in call cases, and in the case of saluting the flag there is not a compelling interest, or at least not a strong enough one. The weakness of a "compelling interest" argument is that it has to be tested on a case by case basis, but that's probably a good thing since otherwise you would have government trying it at all times, not just when there's a pandemic.

Laws dealing with worship would undoubtedly fall under strict scrutiny. There's obviously a compelling government interest, but are the laws narrowly tailored? I think that's debatable.

I think the real question is, why aren't these places giving alternatives to their worshipers? Why aren't they holding MORE masses so that less people can attend each mass?
