Have to take this decision & use the theory of the case in states like MI and IL immediately.

Tie those states in knots, stoke the constitutionalists, and create a freedom Narrative working against Gov. Squidward and Gov. Pitscher.

"A case pending before the court, filed by two Wisconsin citizens, does indeed raise clear constitutional questions, alleging the government’s abuse of myriad civil liberties." --MD Kittle

So we all need to do what we can to see that The Heartland Institute's case is fast-tracked in WI, because clearly they mean to preserve Constitutional issues that would arise to Certiorari. We get Cert on a case like this, we can put this whole nightmare behind us.

"Fabick and Chapman are challenging the order on its merits, arguing that key sections are blatantly unconstitutional.

Chapman alleges that language limiting religious gatherings to nine or fewer people violates his right to freedom of religion. The limit has prevented Lakewood from holding in-person Sunday services and distributing communion, he says. Virtual services don’t fulfill the Bible’s call for in-person worship and many elderly members can’t use such services, he adds. [ Ed. note : This exact theory was successful in re-opening churches in Kentucky, but as it was successful, obviously the issue was not preserved for Cert. ]

Fabick, meanwhile, alleges that the order limits his free speech and travel rights. According to the lawsuit, he wants to engage in protests against the order but the travel ban prevented him from joining one in Madison on April 24.

“Even a public health crisis does not give the State executive authorities license to impose measures that are arbitrary and irrational, or that patently violate our most sacred constitutional rights,” the lawsuit said.

I know these are the standard arguments.

There’s definitely going to be more, was my point.

You guys keep talking about choice, but if we choose to follow the regulations and you guys don’t, you’re really not giving us a choice. We can’t do it all by ourselves. There will be more sickness.

I think the liberal college presidents are going to try to take down the country by not opening in the fall. They are going to close and still pay their staff. They will not save any money. They will spend everything they have and ask for more. The state of Massachusetts is the big test. If Harvard and Boston University close the whole state will be forced to follow suit. Then the lower schools will close. They will try to force people to stay home watching their kids. Remember public school boards run the schools not governors. And teachers hate trump. They don’t like kids much either. They would not mind kids sitting at home for a year if it might hurt Trump. This is the plan. And if they think they can get away with it, they will do it.

In the teacher’s union eyes, It gets better when you think of the private schools. If private schools are forced to close too, Many of them may never open again. They live hand to mouth. They can’t sit around for a year not getting paid. They can’t just pay their staff. And they still have to maintain their buildings. It will be a huge hardship. Public school teachers won’t mind that a bit. Win Win.
