A judge rejected plaintiffs' attempt to have $300 jobless benefit reinstated. A Franklin County judge rejected the plaintiffs attempt to have the $300 jobless benefit reinstated while a lawsuit made its way through the court system.

In addition to their broader complaint, the plaintiffs had requested relief in the form of a temporary restraining order and preliminary injunction, which was denied.

The judge ruled that the laws referenced by the plaintiffs do not place an obligation on the state government to continue participation in the program, nor did Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine act outside the scope of his authority. Therefore, the plaintiffs did not meet their burden of proving a substantial likelihood of success, the judge wrote.

No mention of who the Plaintiff is. Soros/leftist “non-profit”?

You mean to say that the taxpayer is not responsible for support?

I’m shocked. /s of course.

So now we have conflicting rulings. Indiana was ordered by a judge to reinstate the $300 but Ohio was not. Sounds like a job for Super SCOTUS to the rescue! Oh wait, never mind.
