TO FIGHT THE PANDEMIC, CAN GOVERNOR SUNUNU BAR CHURCH ATTENDANCE?

TO FIGHT THE PANDEMIC, CAN GOVERNOR SUNUNU BAR CHURCH ATTENDANCE?

In my column in this paper last week, I addressed the question whether, in order to protect New Hampshire residents from the coronavirus, Governor Sununu could lawfully require them to wear masks in public places and could impose fines or other legal penalties on them for failure to do so. On the basis of the relevant U.S. Supreme Court cases and a recent New Hampshire trial court case, I wrote that the answer is clearly yes.
