Speak Up: Pastors say Carney violated religious freedom, Delaware Constitution

Two pastors filed separate lawsuits against Gov. John Carney in the Court of Chancery recently, looking to “restore religious freedom forever in Delaware,” a news release said.

• How many religious freedom fighter pastors and their members have died from COVID? Good grief. — Sheryl Pizzadili

• How many haven’t? — Jim Fritz

• You could go to Lowes, but not church. — Bob Beckman

• Nobody has the right to tell people that they cannot gather for religious reasons. This country was founded on that. It’s also none of your concern what happens to those people. That’s called freedom. You do you. — Michael Forcade

• Let the church be! — Clive Logan

• Have a hard time passing that collection plate over the internet? — Matt Hickman

• Religious freedom ... as long as it’s their religion. — Gary Greer

• They are just mad that donations are down because not as many people can attend church. You don't have to practice your religion in a church. — Michael Campbell

• True, but you also have the right to do so if you choose. It’s called freedom. — Jon Walczak

McBride holds roundtables about family and medical leave bill

Introduced by Sen. Sarah McBride, D-Claymont, the Healthy Delaware Families Act or Senate Bill 1 aims to create a statewide paid family and medical leave insurance program that offers 12 weeks of job-protected leave. Sen. McBride is hosting a series of roundtable discussions with participants who have a personal connection to paid leave, as well as medical and mental health professionals.

The fact we don’t have a paid family and medical leave program already is ridiculous. — Jaden Blondin

Do you want lower wages for women? Because this is how you get lower wages for women. — Robert Paul

Maybe someday America will be great like all of the European countries who have had this for decades. Conservatives by definition live in the past. — Tommy Bou
