The Texas Supreme Court has now intervened in the ongoing travesty of justice in which salon owner Shelley Luther was sentence to 7 days in the Dallas County Jail by an overbearing Democrat judge. Late Thursday morning, Judge Eric Moye’ was ordered by the Supremes to release Ms. Luther from jail, where she was sentenced for contempt of court.

The Supreme Court intervened after Texas Governor Greg Abbott amended his shut-down order to prohibit authoritarian judges like Moye’ from throwing people in jail, an unintended consequence that the Governor obviously failed to consider when he issued his hasty and clearly unconstitutional order in March.
“Throwing Texans in jail who have had their businesses shut down through no fault of their own is nonsensical, and I will not allow it to happen,” Abbott said in a statement, adding that his order is retroactive to April 2 and supersedes local directives. “As some county judges advocate for releasing hardened criminals from jail to prevent the spread of COVID-19, it is absurd to have these business owners take their place.”
It is indeed absurd, but it is also fair to again point out that it was Abbott’s order that set up the conditions under which corrupt judges could engage in such abusive behavior. Abbott, along with governors all over the country, acted hastily and without real forethought in shutting down their respective economies on the pretense of “flattening the curve” of the Wuhan Virus in March. He took that action without the need for a 13-committee, 39-member “Strike Force” similar to the one he is using for political cover during his carefully-planned, phased reopening now.
One of the unintended consequences of that rash action is that Mrs. Luther, along with several other business owners in Texas, have been forced by abusive judges to spend time in jail under what is in all likelihood an illegal order to begin with. In Ms. Luther’s case, she has spent 2 nights in a jail in which more than 240 cases of COVID-19 have been diagnosed.
This is a travesty and a scandal, and it must never be allowed to happen again.
That is all.
Now have the Communist black robbed thug removed!
Get back on your feet, and sue the ever-loving **** out of the a-holes who sent you to jail.
It still took a writ if habeaus corpus to the Texas SC to get this
Is she out yet?
response requested by May 11th? When does her 7 day sentence end? 13th?
One of the most disgraceful episodes in the history of American jurisprudence. At least it was rectified, but still a horrible miscarriage of justice by a dishonorable judge.
FINALLY !
Impeach this idiot Judge.
L
I thought she might be Lex’s Daughter but he spells his name, Luthor.
Actually the FBI KI!LING RANDY WEAVERS WIFE WHLE HOLDING HER BABY!! And BURNING 86 BAbies, WOMEN and MEN IN WACO!!
This article says that she spent two nights in a jail where there have been more than 240 positive COVID-19 tests. That judge was really evil by putting her in jail.
She is supposed to be released by 4 pm today. want a bet they’ll hold her until exactly 4 ppm?
Now she’s got to worry about all the code inspectors showing up every day and finding something to write her up for.
bttt
Texas supreme court should make another ruling that for every hour that she is held, the judge will be fined $1000
an unintended consequence that the Governor obviously failed to consider when he issued his hasty and clearly unconstitutional order in March.

This is the Governor’s fault.
One story says jail. Another says prison. Which is it?
That would be racisssss!!
Watched WACO on Netflix. They did a pretty good job of showing what happened there. 4 part series I think but well done.
What most people do not realize is he was not guilty of making a sawed off gun which was the whole Trojan Horse used to persecute him.
