So Dershowitz "trumps" the constitution?

The real question is whether Dershowitz was on Epstein's island and private jet.

Our leading ones just sent out an email with a link to John MacArthur, telling what his group's stance is regarding the California governor's edict for churches not to meet. The elders said what John stated is fairly representative of their thoughts as well.

Yes, but you live in Arizona- California is a whole different beast. I know a number of people, who in the last couple of years have moved to Arizona because they could no longer tolerate results of bad Ca. governance.
The church is the gathering together of the called out ones. The constitution guarantees our freedom of religion- it was one of the freedoms our founders wanted to protect. Now the gov. of CA is saying we do not have the right to gather. It seems to me that all Christians in CA should be loudly protesting this infringement. It is the job of government to protect those rights, not to curtail them. There is a protest gathering here in San Diego this evening; I for one plan to attend.

People whine about 2-Party "gridlocks," but California is proof that a single Party wielding power will destroy itself.

I have always thought that "gridlock" was a great thing, since politicians doing nothing is better than politicians doing bad things.

The time will come when Christians will be forced to honor Acts 5.29 over Romans 13.1. The Lord will use this to separate the "sheep" from the "goats."

I remember when I used to be so frustrated about how slow things moved in DC. But then I realized the same thing - it's usually good that things in the federal government don't move so fast!

Like what Churchhill and others said, "Democracy is the worst form of government - except all the others."

I feel there should be two strong parties in the US ; the republicans and the libertarians. And they should squabble about how to keep the least intrusive government. The dems are showing their true colors which is totally fascist. Rule with mobs, intimidation, group imposed mentality. Very dangerous to the constitution.

Republicans and Libertarians have day jobs, and can't go out every night Burning, Looting, Murdering.

Libertarian party represents that which the Democratic party used to, but no longer does......Civil Liberties. It's only due to lack of advertising dollars does it appear the Libertarian party doesn't have any traction, Yet really, they should be attracting those who have been lifelong Democrats.
Today many affiliated with the Democratic party system are truly fascists. They want to get rid of the 1st and 2nd Amendment for starters if not the entire Constitution. Control over free speech and right to bear arms will enable them to impose their will and run roughshod over all people. There is one word that describes their "rule with mobs, intimidation, and group imposed mentality" and that is entitlement. They are like undisciplined spoiled children. If they don't get their way, a temper tantrum will follow. which is destructive behavior.

Great quote.

Churchill also described my voting history when he said, "If you are young and not liberal, you don't have a heart. If you are older, and not a conservative, you don't have a brain."

My first vote was for McGovern, my next will be for Trump.

In the USA, the highest power IS the constitution. The Constitution is our country’s king- elected officials are sworn to uphold it. Christians should in all things honor our king, or we’re not following the scriptural admonition.

No evidence or witnesses have placed Trump on Epstein's island, homes, or jets. There is only a picture of Trump, Melania, Epstein, and Maxwell together at a party. I'm sure there are hundreds (thousands?) of NYC figures in pics with Epstein before his initial arrest.

Oh no! Don't touch Ohio's idol! Like Lee, his replacement Trump, even when he's wrong he's right.

Like Ohio, with his gross malignant religious bias, is a higher authority on the constitution than Dershowitz.
