Under normal circumstances this is OK. John McCain had similar ceremonies 2 years ago.
But now, due to Coronavirus, regular Americans have had ceremonies prohibited and or restricted to small gatherings.
Many people have died throughout the country, old and children, and either no funeral has been allowed or a very small gathering of the immediate family. And in many places funerals are still banned.
The CDC list funerals as one of the highest risk events. Not only that, but regulations also require, travelers from Georgia to DC must self-quarantine for 14 days.
It's not that they represent blatant unconstitutional restrictions but they are blatantly arbitrary.
It is viewpoint discrimination by our Government. BLM rallies are OK. This is undeniable.
Will the 50 Congressman that attended JL memorial service self-quarantine for 14 days? Somehow I doubt it, and this has always been the problem with coronavirus policies in regard to restrictions.
Yet a whole series of exceptions were made for John Lewis and George Floyd's funeral. Why is John Lewis allowed to have multiple ceremonies and your grandmother doesn't?
Answer his life was more important than your grandmother, according to the people in power. There can't be any other reason.
Under normal circumstances, memorials for John Lewis would be appropriate.
Under any circumstances to have a golden casket and multiple memorial services for George Floyd would be totally absurd.
