This is not law. Laws are passed by legislatures.

You argued THE LAW. Technically you’re right.

If the law were respcted by its custodians and administrators, generally, because that’s the best you can expect of flawed people, I’d agree. But I don’t belive this judge believes in the law any more than Hillary Clinton does, or the deepstate coup plotters do, or the judges who aid and assist illegal invaders in evading the law, or Governors who dismiss the law in aid of illegal invaders, or prosecutors who ignore the law and prosecute according to political belief, or FBI heads who dismiss law to take down a duly elected president, or etc etc etc.

At the point that I, generally, no longer feel protected in the fair, unbiased application of the law I am against peoplw like this judge. Completely. Absolutely. And it is because THEY only will use law AGAINST me. I haven’t looked into this guy but I don’t doubt that he often wipes his ass with the law when he feels like it. One hint is all the fawning praise and awards rained down upon him by all of the usual suspects.

You are arguing like it’s 1965. And, anyway, you’re right. But it isn’t 1965 anymore and people like this judge no longer fear us.

She will come out fine due to online donations. The judge is the loser in this. His hearing comments sound like Soviet text book.

In other words, the rule of law has been replaced by the rule of men. I share your frustration and great concern. I am disgusted by the unequal justice, and how our judiciary legislates, is too political and is unaccountable. CJ ROberts has his head in the sand, and the judiciary has abdicated its role to protect the Consitution in matters related to the FISA court. I could go on and on.

It is my hope we can turn this around by re-establishing and demanding the rule of law. Our freedoms require vigilance and we need to keep pushing back. In the salon case, I am not emotional about it, but it does have the appearance of the rule of law, despite whatever background this judge has. Thanks for your great, candid comments.

If any States Legislatures have net and enacted such laws And the respective Governors sighed them into law, it has not been publicized. Thus far, it has only been decrees issued by the respective Governors of said States. However, the slaves are so eager to be ruled with a fist of iron, they gladly take what they can get. As long as it makes them feel secure.

Most have traded their freedom for security. And they thought that they got the best end of the deal.

Now $342,584..... : )
Plus the attorney general is telling the judge to release her.
It would be cool if he says no and gets put in jail for contempt.

Totally agree... but the damage has been done. These type of senerios almost always play out this way, judge rules, damages a person’s livelihood and the tax payer foots the bill to make amends, not the one that did the damage. They, and those like them, continue on down the road to err again, more often than not- without consequences. It’s sickening.

Isn’t this the way the game is played? /sarc

I don’t disagree with your comments, but that’s what just happened.

Without “Just” accountability, it won’t change, it’ll only get worse. For example- Why can’t we be told what’s classified as an essential business and what isn’t, and why? Who’s given “or bestowed” the power to make that decision? Shouldn’t that be the citizens choice to attend, shop or stay home? But alas, it isn’t... or is it? Collectively, we let them do this to us, out of fear, because people became sheeple.

Absolutely!!! The real question is, where’s that proverbial line in the sand, the one that will trigger true disobedience?
