Ya Think? Stupid is as stupid does....now they figure that out.
“But even in an emergency, the authority of government is not unfettered,” he added
“There is no question that this Country has faced, and will face, emergencies of every sort,” he wrote. “But the solution to a national crisis can never be permitted to supersede the commitment to individual liberty that stands as the foundation of the American experiment.”
Well said and is the most important point that most are missing.
As a PA resident, I can say the damage has already been done. One of my relatives and his business went bankrupt.
Doesn’t this judge know that the Secretary of Health is a chickwithadick and therefore you cannot say or do anything against them?
“a Trump appointee”
Elections matter.
He’ll appeal and keep them in place. Leftists love power and he won’t give his up easily.
Too bad this didn't happen,nationwide,about 8 months ago.

I think the issue before this court will be poorly understood by the Socialist Democrats. They don’t understand the words “Unfettered” in this context. Let me be succinct in summary of the socialist democrats texts at the hill.
Socialist Democrats: Believe that the State should be able to completely control all aspects of public health. Therefore, when a pandemic strikes, the state can take control to ‘protect the public’. They quote the Supreme Court rulings that empowered states to protect in public health crisis including restricting businesses, quarantine of the sick. Therefore, they agree with the Democratic governors whom shut down states.
Republic/Patriots: Believe the states have the right to quarantine the sick, and to react to a public health crisis. However, their powers are restricted wherein there are differential treatment of groups. IE arresting Christians at small church services but allow huge Democratic sponsored public protests. Further, there is legal precedence for quarantine of the sick, THERE IS NO PRECEDENCE for QUARANTINE of the healthy.
I don’t think the Democratic Socialists considered the potential ABUSE of the Constitution wherein a single elected official, such as a Governor of a state, could restrict movement, commerce, and Constitutional freedoms of Americans when they are HEALTHY. That is NOT an unfettered right of Government. I believe that it self evident that this is Unconstitutional. However, excepting this would mean that the Socialist Democrats would be responsible for those Healthy Americans whose rights have been trampled.
I see this as akin to what happened to the Japanese Americans in WWII who were sent to internment camps. They were sent to prevent ‘espionage’ activities, but most were loyal Americans singled out due to race. Healthy Americans and Loyal Americans can not have their rights trampled in the name of ‘Safety’.
“There is no question that this Country has faced, and will face, emergencies of every sort,” he wrote. “But the solution to a national crisis can never be permitted to supersede the commitment to individual liberty that stands as the foundation of the American experiment.”
The real tragedy here is that it has taken so long for this case to reach this point - irreparable harm has been done to the liberties of all Pennsylvanians - and in many cases irreparable harm has been done to them economically, as well - harm that could have been avoided if this matter had been taken up as an emergent matter.
I would say that we need federal legislation which commands the federal courts to take cases of this kind - involving emergency orders by not just federal officials, but specifically state and local ones, which have as one of there principal issues the liberties of American citizens - on an emergent basis, and to provide for temporary and permanent restraining orders where necessary. The job of government is, first and foremost, to protect the liberties of the people of this country - that’s in the Preamble to the Constitution, that’s the VERY REASON for our government having been established in the first place!
Ok...so now we can stop wearing these stupid masks?

Can business who have been fined (in this case $10K) seek damages?
Asking for a friend.
If the POS Governor’s edicts are unconstitutional, then is all this shutdown crap over? Where does this go from here?
