Reply To: Lawsuit in NJ to force the state to allow worship service

Joseph, the government cannot suspend the constitution, ever. And there is nothing in the constitution allowing for the suspension of any rights, except habeas corpus and the third amendment. Congress (not the president) can suspend habeas “when in cases of rebellion or invasion the public safety may require it”, and the third is automatically suspended whenever the USA is at war (which nowadays is almost constantly). I don’t recall any other such provisions in the constitution, so the rest of it applies in all circumstances.
