Pastor arrested for holding church in defiance of 'social distancing' orders
His arrest Sunday stems from Hillsborough County's March 20 order banning "public or private gatherings, including community, civic, public leisure, faith-based events, sporting events, concerts and any similar events that bring together more than 10 people in a single room, single space, or any venue, at the same time."
The constitutionality of such orders is disputed. They may be valid, Liberty Counsel argues, only if "narrowly tailored," meaning implemented in a way that imposes the least infringement of constitutional rights.
Liberty Counsel noted Hillsborough County's 'Safer-at-Home' administrative order Friday contains 42 paragraphs of exceptions, including "religious personnel.'"...
