A judge on Tuesday denied an emergency motion to stop President Donald Trump's campaign rally in Tulsa, Oklahoma, on Saturday.
The decision came after local lawyers asked the court to block the event unless organizers agreed to take steps to adhere to the administration's own social distancing recommendations to limit the spread of coronavirus. Paul DeMuro, one of the attorneys on the lawsuit trying to block the rally, said that -- despite the emergency motion to block the rally being denied -- the case will head to the state Supreme Court.
"The lawsuit is still intact and moving forward," DeMuro told CNN. "We will continue to fight in the Oklahoma Supreme Court."

"As currently planned, the Rally will endanger not only the health of the guests in attendance, but the entire Tulsa community and any community to which the guests may afterward travel. If ASM Global moves forward with the Rally without adequate review, planning, training, protective equipment, and safeguards, cases of COVID-19—and the unavoidable attendant deaths—will rise," the petition states.
DeMuro told CNN that the decision to sue to stop the rally was not political.

We wear N95 masks when we shop. That’s about the only time we’re around lots of people. We don’t wear masks at church because there are so few of us.
“DeMuro told CNN that the decision to sue to stop the rally was not political”.
RIIIIIGHT!
Has DeMuro sued to stop all the BLM and Antifa riots, I thought NOT!
We’re devout Christians. We wear N95 masks out of common sense when in crowds. I believe God expects us to use the good sense He gave us. We don’t wear masks to church (3 times a week) because we are a very small group who all practice precautions when out in crowds. And, of course, we depend upon the Lord to protect us, as we do our part.

If BLM and Antifa have the right to RIOT, Conservatives have the right to RALLY!
YUP; when GOD decides it’s time for you to come home, you go.
Tougher than when MOM gave us the “be home before dark” rule.
If they really thought it was a problem the left would encourage Trump supporters to gather.
