Americans Against Unconstitutional Mask Mandates

Excellent news: The anti-mask mandate motion is gaining steam. People craving to breathe free are waking up from their pandemic stupor. Frequent sense and constitutional rules, now greater than ever, are important to a sovereign nation’s well being.

On Monday, a federal decide rescinded Democratic Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Wolf’s shutdown orders proscribing gatherings, forcing “nonessential” enterprise closures and directing residents to remain at dwelling to fight COVID-19. U.S. District Decide William Stickman decided that the sweeping measures violated “the fitting of meeting enshrined within the First Modification.” He famous Wolf’s hypocrisy in severely limiting indoor and outside festivals, festivals, concert events and different gatherings and condemning a small anti-lockdown protest of small-business homeowners (whom he referred to as “selfish,” “cowardly” and “unsafe”) — whereas marching with 1000’s of non-socially distancing Black Lives Matter radicals in Harrisburg in June.

Furthermore, Stickman dominated, Pennsylvania’s stay-at-home order — a sweeping inhabitants not like any “within the historical past of our Commonwealth and our Nation” — violated the 14th Modification’s due course of rights to journey, affiliation and privateness. Equally, Wolf’s excessive and open-ended energy seize designating and shutting “nonessential” companies undermined due course of protections “towards arbitrary authorities motion.”

Whereas Wolf’s measures could have been “well-intentioned,” Stickman concluded that “good intentions towards a laudable finish are usually not alone sufficient to uphold governmental motion towards a constitutional problem. Certainly, the best threats to our system of constitutional liberties could come up when the ends are laudable, and the intent is nice — particularly in a time of emergency.”

In Florida, conservative lawyer and state Home Rep. Anthony Sabatini cheered the defeat of Wolf’s draconian COVID-19 orders. “Some within the Judiciary are lastly waking as much as the truth that the federal government is just not all the time proper — and that the structure is just not suspended throughout an emergency,” he informed me. Sabatini has filed 15 ongoing challenges to the Sunshine State’s lockdown measures. “We’re wanting ahead to profitable.”

In Colorado, I joined an analogous lawsuit with state Home Rep. Pat Neville to problem Gov. Jared Polis’ whopping 166 COVID-19 govt orders, in addition to a number of public well being orders issued by state and county well being departments. As in Pennsylvania, our state Supreme Court docket declined to listen to the case. So we filed in Denver District Court docket two weeks in the past. Polis and different authorities officers are on discover: No more kings.

Like People all throughout the nation, Coloradans have been threatened with civil and felony penalties for failure to put on a masks in public, and companies are coerced by the governor into imposing his masks order with zero enter from voters or their elected representatives. Final week, Polis unilaterally prolonged the masks mandate by one other 30 days. Our lawyer, Randy Corporon, laid down the legislation:

ORDER IT NOW

“The Colorado Structure expressly prohibits the delegation by the legislature of lawmaking authority to the governor. Whereas courts have made restricted exceptions for emergency conditions, we at the moment are six months into this ’emergency’ with a governor who, on his personal, extends his superpowers each 30 days. Sufficient is sufficient.”

Corporon’s legislation agency has filed a companion lawsuit searching for an injunction towards “Energy Seize” Polis on behalf of the household homeowners of the Bandimere Speedway — the place greater than 5,500 patriots joined us at a rally to “Cease the COVID Chaos” two weeks in the past. Liberals and “By no means-Trumpers” have condemned our constitutionally protected peaceable protest, whereas downplaying violent BLM and antifa riots which have turned downtown Denver right into a Third World hellhole.

We aren’t alone. Parents in Tennessee are suing to free their kids from illegal and unhealthy masks mandates unsupported by science. Minnesotans have filed a number of lawsuits towards Gov. Tim Walz. “It’s not the place of presidency to impose these necessities on us when there isn’t any lawful authority to take action,” Doug Seaton, Higher Midwest Legislation Middle President and legal professional, argues. “That’s one thing that’s towards our self-governing rules that we’ve had within the state of Minnesota since we have been part of the northwest territory. We are able to’t have our governor override the separation of powers and the restricted authorities now we have and trample on rights, no matter good the intentions is likely to be.”

In Boise, Idaho, this weekend, residents held an anti-mask rally on the native Veterans Memorial park. Organizer Jeff Buck spoke for all of us: “We really feel like we’re being held hostage and we have to arise for our rights or the federal government will take them away.”

Masks off. Struggle on. That is the American means.
