The Hill is reporting that the United States Supreme Court has declined to issue a stay against Governor Tom Wolf's Executiver Order sutting down mist of the state's economy. Though this denial has yet to make its way to the docket, The Hill adds that this denial was made without comment. What this means is that less than a majority supported the request.
The underlying complaints remain.
As I indicated previously, I thought the request for a stay was a mistake. One of the petitioners, a golf course, has been permitted to resume business.

You own views are appreciated, especially if they differ from mine. But remember, commenting is a privilege, not a right. I will delete personal attacks or off-topic remarks at my discretion. Comments that play into the tribalism that has consumed this nation will be declined. So will comments alleging voter fraud unless backed up by concrete evidence. If you attack someone personally, I expect you to identify yourself. I will delete criticisms of my comment policy, vulgarities, cut-and-paste jobs from other sources and any suggestion of violence towards anyone. I will also delete sweeping generalizations about mainstream parties or ideologies, i.e. identity politics. My decisions on these matters are made on a case by case basis, and may be affected by my mood that day, my access to the blog at the time the comment was made or other information that isn’t readily apparent.
They called it a request for a stay, but it actually was a request for an injunction. And most poorly argued.
ReplyDeleteBut I thought the Governor was a tyrant. So why isn't the right-wing Supreme Court taking this chance to protect the defenseless people of Pennsylvania from this horrible man?
ReplyDeleteThank you, Gov. Wolf, for protecting us from the virus. Don't the constant complainers get you down.
ReplyDeleteDr. Levine also deserves a lot of credit. She probably should run for governor.
ReplyDeleteDoes this mean that the Supreme Court I draconian? I'm so confused now.
ReplyDeleteBoth Dr. Levine Gov. Wolf are the heroes of Pennsylvania.
ReplyDeleteIf only our president heed from there example of courage.
I said at the onset that an injunction was a long shot. But on the merits, the claim regarding procedural due process is a winner.
ReplyDelete"They called it a request for a stay, but it actually was a request for an injunction. And most poorly argued."
ReplyDeleteAgreed. The attorney who filed this is a right-wing radio talk show host and does not appear to have much appellate experience. But he'll get better.
Anon7:35 - wait until Monday ,you’re going to find our “what heroes “ they are . With an “F “ .You hose it here first ,I’m retired firefighter..
ReplyDeleteSo the lead counsel-- Marc A. Scaringi who just happens to have been an aide for Santorum.
ReplyDeleteHe has ties to the republican led General assembly yet he can not get them to overrule Wolf.
They were told this by the PA supremos yet the republicans failed to act.
Wolf at least acted(whether you agree or not) the legislature did nothing.
I find it odd that with all the flame throwing at Wolf no one seems to notice the gutless republicans sitting on their hands in the Legislature
Oh added bonus.
ReplyDeleteMarc A. Scaringi ran a crowd funding so he could push his political stunt.
So at least he got paid.
Maybe that was his idea all along
Wolf is destroying many people he is not saving people this will all come out

Shhhhhh. You're not allowed to point out such things!
The Republicans are afraid to overrule Gov. Wolf because then they will own the carnage that follows. Wolf, though, had the balls to do something, knowing that the Bernie's of the world would savage him.

Could we hear from an firefighter who's still on the job?
Isn't in interesting the Governor's opponents continue to search for some activist judges who will strike down laws approved by the state, including the Supreme Court.
ReplyDeleteShameful.

No, it's not a winner. Your side will lose, as it did in the state courts.
The Commonwealth could not have been expected to holds thousands, much less tens of thousands, of hearings on waivers. It was an emergency!
ReplyDelete"Your side will lose, as it did in the state courts."
ReplyDeleteMy side is the side that believes our freedom is even more valuable than toilet paper.
Wrap yourself in the flag all you want, but anyone can play that game. For example, my side is the side that believes that the lives of Americans should not be thoughtlessly wasted.
ReplyDeleteAnd yours still will lose, because IT'S AN EMERGENCY!
It's up to the Commonwealth to decide what its emergency statute means. The governor has acted, and that action has been reviewed by the state Supreme Court. The Republican legislature has declined to say otherwise.
ReplyDeleteIt's over. Grow up and deal with it, people.
Thank you, Gov. Wolf, for protecting us from the virus.
ReplyDeleteAt this point, the Supreme Court hasn't even agreed to hear this case.
ReplyDelete"Thank you, Gov. Wolf, for protecting us from the virus."
ReplyDeleteThank you, Governor Wolf for the increased suicides, domestic abuse, substance abuse, collapsed state economy, and thousands of deaths resulting from an inability to get early detection screenings and maintain therapies. You protected us from the virus by killing thousands who didn't have to die. Again, thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
Thank you, Gov. Wolf, for protecting us from people like 12:06.
ReplyDeleteI think we should amend the state constitution to allow you to run for a third term.
