Good day all. We have been locked up by order of the governors, (With a few exceptions), since March. The lock downs are starting to end, either by governors reopening their states or by people flat out ignoring the orders of the government.<\/p>\n

Others are going to lawsuit route and are taking their governors to court. One interesting case had a judge blasting the governor of Illinois. Here are the details from Red Stat<\/b>e’s<\/b><\/a> Susie Moore<\/a><\/b>:<\/p>\n

Lost in the shuffle of the Memorial Day holiday weekend \u2014 unusual, though it was \u2014 an Illinois judge unloaded on Governor J.B. Pritzker\u2019s still-in-effect stay-at-home order this past Friday. I\u2019ve written previously<\/a> regarding the significant distinction between Chicago \u2014 and even Springfield \u2014 and \u201coutstate\u201d or \u201cdownstate\u201d Illinois. This judge\u2019s decision further highlights that great divide.<\/b><\/p>\n

Ms. Moore provides a backstory on the court case in question. Summarizing her summery, a State Rep. Filed suit against the governor saying that his orders was hurting his constituents. The judge granted a temporary restraining order, but it was only for the representative. The governor, Pritzker moved the case to federal court and the Department of Justice intervened, supporting the challenge and the move to the federal courts.<\/p>\n

Following Bailey\u2019s challenge, James Mainer, an Operation Iraqi Freedom veteran and small business owner in Clay City, filed a similar suit in Clay County. Judge McHaney issued his ruling in that matter this past Friday and, although he again limited the scope of the restraining order to the individual plaintiff, he had some choice words for the Governor and his stay-at-home order (after first admonishing those in the courtroom to avoid public outbursts)<\/b>:<\/p>\n

Since the inception of this insanity, the following regulations, rules or consequences have occurred: I won\u2019t get COVID if I get an abortion but I will get COVID if I get a colonoscopy. Selling pot is essential but selling goods and services at a family-owned business is not. Pot wasn\u2019t even legal and pot dispensaries didn\u2019t even exist in this state until five months ago and, in that five months, they have become essential but a family-owned business in existence for five generations is not. <\/b><\/p>\n

A family of six can pile in their car and drive to Carlyle Lake without contracting COVID but, if they all get in the same boat, they will. We are told that kids rarely contract the virus and sunlight kills it, but summer youth programs, sports programs are cancelled. Four people can drive to the golf course and not get COVID but, if they play in a foursome, they will. If I go to Walmart, I won\u2019t get COVID but, if I go to church, I will. Murderers are released from custody while small business owners are threatened with arrest if they have the audacity to attempt to feed their families. <\/b><\/p>\n

Our economy is shut down because of a flu virus with a 98 percent plus survival rate. Doctors and experts say different things weekly. The defendant cites models in his opposition. The only thing experts will agree on is that all models are wrong and some are useful. The Centers for Disease Control now says the virus is not easily spread on surfaces. <\/b><\/p>\n

The defendant in this case orders you to stay home and pronounces that, if you leave the state, you are putting people in danger, but his family members traveled to Florida and Wisconsin because he deems such travel essential. One initial rationale why the rules don\u2019t apply to him is that his family farm had animals that needed fed. Try selling that argument to farmers who have had to slaughter their herds because of disruption in the supply chain. <\/b><\/p>\n

And here is the best part.<\/p>\n

When laws do not apply to those who make them, people are not being governed, they are being ruled. Make no mistake, these executive orders are not laws. They are royal decrees. Illinois citizens are not being governed, they are being ruled. <\/b>The last time I checked Illinois citizens are also Americans and Americans don\u2019t get ruled<\/b><\/i><\/strong>.<\/b><\/strong> The last time a monarch tried to rule Americans, a shot was fired that was heard around the world. That day led to the birth of a nation consensually governed based upon a document which ensures that on this day in this, any American courtroom tyrannical despotism will always lose and liberty, freedom and the constitution will always win. <\/b><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Well, that\u2019s about a subtle as a sledgehammer to the testicles. The full order can be read here<\/a>. Needless to say, Governor Pritzker has dismissed the ruling, calling it politically motivated. Pritzker is yet another Rich, Progressive Elitist who thinks he\u2019s the king and can do whatever he wants. Apparently, the beginnings of a recall are starting. I suspect that won\u2019t be his only problem. Ignoring this order will get the DoJ landing on him hard. With a little big of luck, he\u2019s going to be taking over Blagoyevich\u2019s cell.<\/p>\n
