Judge took offense that Pritzker laughed off a question about downstate.
Pritzker’s chief of staff…
Irresponsible, reckless, ignores the law, science and medical experts so that one grandstanding legislator can get a few press hits. An absolute disgrace. The state will appeal immediately and work to protect the many, many lives we are entrusted with.
That can't be real, can it?
Won’t last. The State will not be denied
“The state will appeal immediately and work to protect the many, many lives we are entrusted with.”

I haven’t yet heard anyone make the argument that these orders constitute an unconstitutional taking. If I own a legally operated business and these governors force me to close, isn’t that a governmental taking for which I must be compensated under the Constitution?
Time to cram some state and low-fed level potentates back under the rocks from which they slithered

Yes! I posted earlier that these challenges should become national and that legislatures should be demanding to strip governors of these sole and individual powers to shut down their state (sometimes even declaring themselves medical experts!). Everything should have to be approved by the state legislature first, it should not extend beyond two weeks, and it should not be renewable without another application.
