Minister Sues Nancy Pelosi, Kamala Harris for Blocking Good Friday Vigil with Capitol Fence

A Presbyterian minister has filed a lawsuit against House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Vice President Kamala Harris, and officials of the U.S. Capitol Police with the claim the fence blockade surrounding the Capitol building is preventing him from conducting a Good Friday prayer vigil.

Rev. Patrick Mahoney filed his complaintin federal court Tuesday, arguing his First and Fifth Amendment rights were violated when authorities denied his request to hold the prayer vigil on the sidewalk near the Lower Western Terrace of the Capitol.

The complaint observes Mahoney held his Good Friday prayer service in the same location last year:

Plaintiff’s application for a permit to hold a Good Friday prayer vigil is in the exact same location where he held his Good Friday prayer vigil in 2020. In 2020, Plaintiff worked with Capitol Police to ensure that he was able to safely hold a prayer vigil on Capitol grounds even though COVID-19 was constraining the nation.

Mahoney further states in his complaint that, as a result of their actions of surrounding the Capitol with a fence since the riot that occurred on January 6, “[d]efendants have effectively created a no-speech zone around the nation’s Capitol.”..

The God haters that lead the national democrat party in Washington DC need to be confronted. This suit is a very appropriate way to challenge their attempt to silence believers at the Capitol of our exceptional nation. The idea that our national Capitol is some sort of speech free zone is simply wrong.

 

Banning a Good Friday vigil at our nation’s capital is just wrong.

 

Great.

I am sure that The Court is going to give this case an Emergency Hearing.

Hopefully Judge Barrett orders the removal of the fence.

 

I hope for that too. They will have to rule tomorrow since the next after that is Good Friday.

He can hold his prayer vigil somewhere else. Another frivolous lawsuit. What kind of "man of god" is this guy? What a charlatan.

You can't commandeer public property for your own use. Tell him to hold his vigil out on 13R at KNFL.

 

It’s not commandeering for members of the public to peaceably assemble on the steps of our national capital for an event.

 

It's illegal to be present in unauthorized areas. Lock him up.



Tell him to go play on the freeway. Or on the runway at Fallon NAS. He's gonna lose. Do you like losers? Nevermind...

 

Perhaps if the right wing nutters stopped plotting to blow the Capitol up they could remove that fence..

 

That fence will be removed. It needs to be put up on our southern border.

 

Gee, who fenced our Capitol?

The Terrorists from the Trump insanity has stopped alot of important work at our border.

Biden is fixjng it, though. After 8 years of Democrat leadership, the Country could afford 4 years of Republicans again.

 

The trump cult insurrection and riot proved you wrong.

 

Oh, why is that? I thought Trump fixed the wall and made Mexico pay for it.

 

The fence is political theatre.

 

So what's to stop the Minister concerned from conducting his vigil immediately outside the barrier? God is not constrained by physical barriers. There are lots of locations where he might be prevented from conducting his vigil, a Synagogue, a Mosque, a Church of another denomination, a private household or business, a public school etc etc.

What makes that particular space special?

 

The fence was installed during the Trump administration. Sue him.

 

Boondoggle created by the Democrats that was gobble up my the left wing nutters. You all are so easily manipulated

DC Fencing to Be Removed After Capitol Police Admit No 'Credible Threat'

 

How soon MAGA people forget ...

 

WTF does VP Harris have to do with SECURITY at the Capitol?

Can you provide a link to the place in the Constitution that makes it her RESPONSIBILITY?

 

NOTHING was "banned'!

Denial of a PERMIT is NOT the same thing as a BAN.

 

Yes, how soon liberals forget.
