Joe Biden Wins Alaska's Democratic Primary

 

Alaska's Democratic primary was the first nominating contest after Senator Bernie Sanders suspended his campaign earlier in the week.

 

Former Vice President Joe Biden won Alaska's Democratic primary with 55,3% of the vote against Senator Bernie Sanders' 44,7%, who dropped out of the race earlier in the week.

 

Results from the Alaska Democratic primary were shared via Twitter by Alaska Democrats.

 

The contest has been turned into mail-in voting and was rescheduled from the original date of 4 April due to the novel coronavirus outbreak.

DOJ: 'Expect action' on government regulation of religious services amid COVID-19 outbreak

 

The Justice Department (DOJ) may take action next week against local governments that have cracked down on religious services as widespread parts of the country are shut down due to the coronavirus pandemic, a DOJ spokesperson said Saturday.

 

“While social distancing policies are appropriate during this emergency, they must be applied evenhandedly [and] not single out religious [organizations],” DOJ Director of Communications Kerri Kupec tweeted.

 

She said the Attorney General William Barr is “monitoring” such regulations.

 

The DOJ move would come as some churches are standing up to city governments that have blocked them from holding in-person services during the outbreak – even in "drive-in" formats that keep people separated and in their own cars.

 

A judge in Louisville, Ky., on Saturday issued a temporary restraining order blocking enforcement of Mayor Greg Fischer’s ban on drive-in church services there.

 

“The Mayor’s decision is stunning,” District Judge Justin Walker, a former clerk to Supreme Court Associate Justice Brett Kavanaugh, wrote in a memorandum to the order. “And it is, ‘beyond all reason,’ unconstitutional.”

 

Freedom of religion is the first of the five freedoms guaranteed by the First Amendment.

 

“Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof,” its text begins.

 

Separately, in Greenville, Miss., two churches have said that police came to their drive-in services and threatened to fine worshipers.

 

“Churches are strongly encouraged to hold services via Facebook Live, Zoom, Free Conference Call, and any and all other social media, streaming and telephonic platforms,” Mayor Errick Simmons’ office said in an April 7 press release announcing a ban on in-person and drive-in church services.

 

Attorneys with the Alliance Defending Freedom have filed a lawsuit challenging that order on behalf of the Temple Baptist Church in Greenville.

 

Kelly Shackelford, president of the First Liberty Institute, argued in an appearance on “Tucker Carlson Tonight” on Friday that the city’s order “is just massively unconstitutional.”

 

“It targets churches in a way that it targets no other group,” he said. “Cars in parking lots are fine. It’s only a crime if the cars in the parking lot are at the church parking lot.”
