Posted on 06/11/2020 9:12:45 AM PDT by Morpheus2009

HR 836 which ends the Governor’s COVID-19 emergency declaration was amended and passed the Senate. We just passed it again in the House with a bipartisan 121-81 vote! When the resolution is printed in the PA Bulletin this Friday, the emergency declaration will be terminated along with all the guidance and orders.

So The Pennsylvania state legislature is in the process of overriding Governor Tom Wolf's Emergency Executive order and making it merely counsel instead of law with force to arrest or fine people for not following shutdown laws, as well as overriding Tom Wolf's executive order.

State Rep. Seth Grove will keep updating on his pages:

It appears that Gov Wolf is litigating it, and it also doesn’t apply to the health-dept directed closure of businesses. Stay tuned.

3 months late and meaningless.

At best this will be contested in PA Commonwealth Court and take 6 months to a year to adjudicate; then the decision deferred pending a PA Supreme Court decision. 18 month to 2 year process.

This should happen in all 50 states. The 'emergency' order was the vehicle by which all governors became little totalitarians. A few did not abuse that but overall, unconstitutional dictates were imposed on the citizens.

Once President Trump declared a National Emergency, which he should not have done, each state had its own version and that filtered down to each county in each state. The result? Thousands of little Hitlers running around dictating our every more and it wasn't democrats exclusively either.

Like Judge Emmitt Sullivan's override of the DOJ, no legislative action will be able to override a Democrat Governor shutting down a state.

The economy must stay shut down so that Trump can be hurt more, more infected seniors can be sent to nursing homes so that more will die, and with the economy shut down, NANZI Pelosi can get big $$ from the federal government to bail out the Democrat states from their financial crises.

It's all the Democrats have, and it MUST continue. Or else they will have to bring out the next crises. Are the Democrats going to call the Chinese and tell them to go ahead and sink a US carrier? It's for the good of the world.

These Governor Power Grabs are simply a dry run for what will happen en Masse after the November Election.

Just like BLM and Antifa Insurrections.

Not meaningless.

This will become really public and nothing is better for Trump than having a demonRAT gubbernor taking a group of congress critters to court, with the fight being about open for business or shut down and licking the boots of the gubbernor.

This will ensure a Trump victory in PA and I don't care that there are 800,000 more demonRATs in PA than pubbies.

Many demonRATs have voted for Trump and I know will do it again.

Remember, Trump is for fracking, Biden is for a green new deal.

If you don’t comply, Dickless Levine will show up at your business and pole dance for your customers.

Once President Trump declared a National Emergency, which he should not have done...

What choice did he have except listen to Drama Queens Fauci and Birx? Those two clowns are STILL running around saying “Oh, no! It’s not over! The sky is still falling! Stay indoors, wear masks and never talk to another human being again!(unless you’re “protesting,” of course!)”.

I agree.

Who gave government these powers to begin with? It shouldn’t be after the fact, but never have gotten there.

Now, like in New Orleans after they confiscated peoples fire arms years past (Katrina), they will say, “Oh, we’re sorry, we shouldn’t have done that.” But they will retain the powers to do it again and these sort of things will continue to happen.

The real issue is what powers government has today. What powers they have given themselves at state and federal level with 15 various agencies that write regulations which impact the common man and he must follow under threat of the law, but which never went through a legislative process.

He’ll probably just issue a new one.

He’s not giving back the illegal powers he seized and asking him nicely won’t make him change his mind about that.

6 of the 9 PA Supreme Court “justices” are hard core leftest.

They were the ones who ORDERED the legislature (we the people) to revise the congressional districts to favor democrats. When the legislature balked at the unconstitutional order, the leftest Court just unilaterally created it’s own congressional boundaries.

All of them should have been impeached and executed for treason, but they got away with it.

BINGO the long this move drags on the closer it gets to Election Day and the better it is for Trump and America. Looks like Wile E. Democrat has stepped in a pile of crap once again! Beep beep moron and watch out for falling anvils.

A class action needs to be brought asserting the closures were a legal ‘taking’ for the public good and should merit compensation.

There has to be public decency laws in PA. Or would that fall under cruel and unusual punishment and be a violation of our civil rights?

I notice more people going into stores without masks. Still probably 80% do wear them.
What irritates me most is when a child not 3 feet high is forced to wear one. In the unlikely event they’re infected and sneeze, it hits you near the waist, if they’re standing right next to you, which they never are.
In my Pennsylvania territory hardly anyone is infected. Two or three out of a thousand.
