NEW: I’m signing an EO to extend our public health emergency by 30 days.
To be clear: this does not mean we’re seeing anything in the data which would pause our path forward. These declarations, unless extended, expire after 30 days. We’re still in a public health emergency. pic.twitter.com/7Fj9ciQvxC— Governor Phil Murphy (@GovMurphy) May 6, 2020
I absolutely loathe that miserable sack of crap.
Please let most of the country open up by mid-May so that New Jersey residents can see what their vote bought them.
And 30 days from now it will be another 30 days.
Once again - don’t just blame the DemRats on this one. President Trump and our other Republican “leaders” are just as complicit in this. President Trump could easily order AG Barr to prosecute Murphy for Deprivation of Rights Under Color Of Law or countermand Murphy’s decree and order the State opened up - using the National Guard to enforce it if need be - yet he has done NOTHING of the sort.
All bark, no bite.
Will demand government bailout when the economy goes in the tank; loss of jobs, loss of businesses.
These Blue State Governors have become dictators. Their States no longer have functioning legislatures or courts, so all law in those States come from them. Article IV, Section 4 (the Guarantee Clause) of the Constitution says every State is to have “a Republican Form of Government.” One-person rule in a State violates the Guarantee Clause and needs to stopped by the People or by the federal government.
If it’s still alive, NJ will go red
Murphy’s orders are capricious and irrational... borderline sadistic. His motivation is purely political and suspect of wanting to maximize damage to the economy so he can suck on the stimulus aid titty and cry to the Feds asking for pity on his states unfunded liabilities and bankrupt pension system which at present is close to a deficit of $130 billion.
The guys a snake-oil salesman.
Looks like the Gov. has given the huge middle finger to unwashed masses of NJ.
Pure evil!
I live in NJ and I don’t think this is going to work out too well for him. Folks will still go to their houses down the short for Memorial Day Weekend. I imagine there will be a massive traffic jam on the Atlantic City Expressway that weekend.
Also, heard weeks ago he was bragging about keeping the state closed until the end of July.
He is pure evil.
It will keep being extended until Nov 3rd. If, in the unlikely chance, Biden (or whoever the Dims nominate) wins the election, then it will “magically” be lifted.
I guess the question is...what are New Jersey residents going to do about it?
Hey new jersey-ites. Act like you are Free Citizens of the United States of America. Throw these tyrannical bums OUT! Freedom isn’t free...
Democrat governors just have to put their own states economies in the crapper in order to harm Trump’s re-election chances. That’s how totally selfish they are. It’s always all about their filthy dirty politics and they care nothing about the people.
So much for Memorial Day celebrations at the Jersey shore. Probably will be some cheap beachfront property for sale.
blue state governors are doing this on orders from pelosi to keep the economy crippled and put more people,out of work
I live in this POS “Blue” State. DON’T EVER think about living here! I warn you! Also,watch out for the NJ plates infecting “Red” States like Locust. They WILL turn your Red State blue in a few election cycles.
They must still have some elderly people left to kill
