Judge blocks Kentucky governor's Covid-19 executive orders - the same day he requires masks

A circuit judge ordered Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear (D) on Thursday to cease issuing or enforcing executive orders related to Covid-19 on the same day that the Democrat signed an executive order mandating that Kentuckians must wear a facial covering or mask in public in certain situations.

Scott County Circuit Judge Brian Privett issued a temporary restraining order against Beshear in a case filed by Kentucky Agriculture Commissioner Ryan Quarles and agritourism business Evans Orchard and Cider Mill, LLC, challenging the governor's use of executive power during the pandemic. Kentucky Attorney General Daniel Cameron, a Republican, joined the lawsuit last week.

In order to issue and enforce executive orders related to Covid-19, Privett wrote that the governor must first "specifically state the emergency that requires the order, the location of the emergency, and the name of the local emergency management agency that has determined that the emergency is beyond its capabilities."

According to Beshear, Thursday's order would require all customers in retail facilities, grocery stores and indoors in most forward facing businesses to wear a mask. Additionally, if someone is outside and cannot be six feet away from someone, they need to wear a mask. It was slated to start on Friday at 5 p.m. and be in effect for 30 days.

Cameron said in a statement that Thursday's decision was "a clear win for the rule of law and will help Kentucky families and businesses across the Commonwealth who have suffered and continue to suffer financial losses and economic hardship because of the Governor's executive orders."

Beshear lambasted the judge's decision during a press briefing Thursday, promising to appeal it in higher court.

Beshear KNEW there was an injunction against past and future eo’s without meeting the conditions set forth. Yet he STILL went ahead and ordered this now illegal order.

Jr. is drunk on power. He talks down to people like an evil Mr. Rogers. His worshipers and they worship the punk would jump off a cliff if he told them too. His core supporters, the public school teachers are his shock troops. In the last 10 years I have come to hold public educators in contempt for their marxism and failure to do their jobs. They elected this little punk after his daddy stole their pensions. They don’t have the brain power to light up a lightening bugs ass!

As for little king andy, stick the mask order up your royal ass!
