“I feel like we are living in a George Orwell novel.” That was one reaction to New Jersey governor Phil Murphy’s recent statement that he “can’t imagine” telling George Floyd anti-“racism” protesters to stay home.

This is the same politician who not only imagined telling anti-lockdown protesters to stay home, but did so, unabashedly.

Gathering to worship the Creator of the Universe is nonessential enough to be subject to limits.

Protesting against government prohibition of commerce and worship, an exercise of First Amendment rights, is nonessential.
