[Jim Robinson]

Outstanding!!!

[ocrp1982]

Many Conservative lawyers have stated that these orders are unConstitutional and if challenged the owners will win those challenges. This is not the first. It is the fourth such case I’ve heard of in the last few weeks.

[SmokingJoe]

Let freedom ring!

[Skywise]

Good.

Disney can open next week then.

[SaxxonWoods]

Excellent.

[catnipman]

article was written by someone totally ignorant of how the law works ... the COURT did not drop the case: it never got to court because the State’s Attorney dropped the case so the court couldn’t rule ...

no doubt, the Florida State’s Attorney dropped the case because he didn’t want to risk losing in court and having
the boot of the state removed from the neck’s of ALL Florida citizens instead of just this one

State Representative Anthony Sabatini & 36-year-old Galen Wood

[corkoman]

According to Sabatini, the court’s decision makes it clear that there is NO valid legal authority for either the state or local emergency orders.

Ummm.. not so fast. If the Court "drops" the case it doesn't mean there was a ruling about legal authority. They just dropped this case.

I doubt ANY circuit court is going to press the issue. Not the brightest move by the LEOs.

“Non-essential” is clearly an arbitrary concept with no legal pedigree.

[Secret Agent Man]

Good.

Govt has no authroity to determine what businesses are ‘essential’ or not.

ALL BUSINESSES ARE ESSENTIAL.

[PGalt]

Hooray Anthony Sabatini State Rep future Presidential material. (I’ve never seen this site before. Could be used for nefarious purposes. /Worst case scenario thinking. I must admit...I know where several congress people and the governor of Michigan live. All through friends and my own experiences...never looked for them online...dunno...just saying)

Yay! I posted an article from Ireland today, describing the insane violation of rights and repression that is going on there, and the author’s conclusion was that we had to go to the courts now to fight back and then go to the legislators and get laws passed that will make sure this never happens again.

[clearcarbon]

"Wood was charged with operating a non-essential business and traveling to operate a non-essential business. "

No one is being forced to visit these establishments.

[CodeToad]

The purpose of the constitutions are to ensure the freedom and liberties of the people, not to ensure government can place restrictions on them and close them down.

Why have a government if that’s what it is for?

[tomkat]

.. deputies conducted a non-essential business compliance check ..

  .. tick .. tick .. tick ..

[PGalt]

You’d think that intel agencies and 5 eyes would have some solid evidence that could be put to citizens of the planet by now.
