Covid Lawsuits--That Took a Long Time

At least one state had their Covid lockdown measures contested in court and thrown out. Several lawsuits are pending in various states, including Ohio and now New York. Churches are suing the states over the arbitrary and nonsensical lockdown measures. In Ohio, amusement parks are suing the state. It took a surprisingly long time for this legal action to commence. Hopefully it ends up voiding the states arbitrary decrees altogether, rather than disputing them in a case-by-case fashion.

In Ohio, for example, wedding receptions of up to 300 people are somehow OK, but 301 is too many, and other types of gatherings are supposedly not "allowed" under these non-laws. Several county sheriffs, including my home county, have basically voided the decree of the governor for that reason--the rights of citizens take precedence over the governors edicts, and it seems like the day-to-day enforcement of these measures, even by private businesses is fading fast.

I do think they'll try ramping this nonsense up again in the fall, but I think it might not work this time around.
