The U.S. Supreme Court is now the focus of a battle about whether government officials can put places of worship under their control using emergency powers they gained amid the CCP virus pandemic, said Kelly Shackelford, who has been leading legal efforts to defend religious freedom for three decades.
Shackelford, during an interview with The Epoch Times’ “American Thought Leaders,” said it is “very disturbing” to see governors and mayors across the country start to target religious communities in abusing their new powers. “In state after state with some of these abusive leaders, they’re clearly treating churches, synagogues, houses of worship differently than similarly situated secular activities.”
