WOW! The gates of hell just opened up on State Govts that closed business...

The State Attorney’s Office 6th Circuit just DROPPED their case against my client Galen Wood—the first Floridian to be arrested for opening a “non-essential” business. It’s clear there is NO valid legal authority for either the state or local emergency orders. #liberty #COVID19 pic.twitter.com/daiDdrz92y

This is gonna be a great watch.

Can the gov declare one business essential and another non-essential?  Can they deprive one owner of a business the opportunity to generate wealth while denying it to another?

What are the limits of a governor's power?

I know one thing.  States are gonna get slammed with lawsuits.  Everyone that goes out of business or comes close to it are gonna blame these shut downs and are gonna seek damages.

THIS IS WHY THE HURRICANE MODEL WOULD HAVE MADE SO MUCH SENSE IN THIS EMERGENCY!!!

Remember Katrina?  The State Of Louisiana shut down New Orleans, declared a state of emergency, put in a curfew and implemented several other emergency measures because it was so affected.  Other parts of the state also suffered a bit of damage but only New Orleans got the martial law/shut down treatment.

That's what we should have done with this crisis.  New York, New Jersey and other parts of the nation that were hard hit should have been shut down and hard!  Quarantine them from the rest of the nation and send every available asset to help get them on their feet.

The rest of the country moves on and full effort is made to rescue those states in the most danger.

But instead we saw major urban/regional areas influence the entire nation's response much to our own detriment.

The lessons learned from this one will be legion and hero governors today will be seen as overreachers tomorrow.
