A federal judge in the Western District of Pennsylvania had ruled that Governor Tom Wolfe’s dictates, decrees and rules were/are unconstitutional restrictions on liberty.
U.S. District Judge William Stickman IV concluded the governor’s stay at home orders, limits on gatherings and closure of “non life-sustaining” businesses violated citizens’ Constitutional rights. The judge was responding to a lawsuit brought by a group of Pennsylvania businesses.
“The Constitution cannot accept the concept of a ‘new normal’ where the basic liberties of the people can be subordinated to open-ended emergency mitigation measures. Rather, the Constitution sets certain lines that may not be crossed, even in an emergency.” ~ Judge Stickman [full pdf below]
The well-thought ruling, while accepting and appreciating the challenges presented to government, finds the arbitrary and capricious definitions/applications of rules amount to ever-changing dictates that infringed on basic constitutional rights without any due process in place. Full ruling below.
One win for freedom.
Here’s the ruling:
[scribd id=476030113 key=key-OJY5Tlgqdea55SGbCr8Q mode=scroll]
.
(Reuters) […] Ruling on a lawsuit brought by business owners and Republican politicians, U.S. District Judge William Stickman IV, a Trump appointee, said the restrictions were executed with good intentions but were arbitrary and violated individual rights.
While some of the limits have been lifted since the lawsuit was filed in May, the Democratic governor has maintained some restrictions on gatherings and on bars and restaurants.
The Wolf administration was reviewing the ruling, a spokesperson told Reuters. (read more)
YES!
hey Globalist Chief Justice Roberts…its not that hard…please read this RULING AND STOP WITH THE INSANITY!
Every “order” – “mandate” within this so called pandemic have been Unconsitutional. So sad how easily this country rolled over to give up their God Given rights. Not surprising how the 16-30 year olds did though.
Will the Republic of the United States make it? I have serious doubts. Buy ammo the rest of us.
There is no science to back the shutdowns. We knew form the beginning that the average age of Covid death in Italy was 1 year above the average age of death in the USA.
This means that all the business that suffered losses including church tithings, the state that cause the shutdowns are responsible for. Hello Karen!
Because all of us are in this together, we can all pay together to make those that suffered losses to be made whole.
This is going to be very painful to democrats who will now have to pay a grocery tax to pay off the republicans who were harmed by the political motivations of democrats.
Trust the science. Hello Karen!
Democrat science will not hold up in a court of law.
Most “scientists” are bottle washers and button sorters. – Lazarus Long (Robert A. Heinlein)
Best legal news since Judge Nap is being investigated.
noname.. There are a whole bunch of people likely agree with your first paragraph.
Not much left out there, if you haven’t yet you are years behind. Obama was the best gun salesmen until BM and Fah rioted into the cities.
The pendulum is swinging back hard and fast. We will survive.
You should modify your age range a bit. 16-19 year olds HS experiences have been destroyed by this lockdown. And they know who to blame as we all can see with our own eyes the destruction wrought by the left.
I have several nieces and nephews in 7th grade to 2020 grads and believe me they know this has been fake since “flatten the curve” became perpetual house arrest. They know who ruined their sports seasons and proms and why they did it. They realize that there are 6 million cases of WuFlu reported in the US and ask why dont they know anyone who has had it. And then they ask why none of their friends know anyone either. And then the big truth is also leaking into their consciousness, that their teachers lie to them all the time and push a political agenda that doesnt fit reality.
Yes the pendulum is swinging back. A Great Awakening is upon us. We need to guard against it swinging back too far to the right. Revenge is not Justice.
TX Gov. Abbott. 30 % of counties have less than 3 deaths, each over a six month time! Another 22% at single digits! 52% of counties. Open them up immediately!
42% are less than 75 deaths should open shorly there after, The remaining 6% are the big city counties and should decide for themselves! GET IT DONE Gov!
I live in North Texas and am no fan of Governor Abbott, but read the governor’s order. Those lazy County Judges need to get off the fat butts and file to be exempted because they meet the ridiculous <20 deaths criteria in the order, per the instructions in the executive order.
Great. But more released is safe and will put pressure on the Blue Mayors!
The mayors/Judge will then own it, no pointing to Feds or State to keep the restrictions going!
Better yet, take off the national emergency order and watch the Dems scramble!
Let us ALL hope that this ruling is “the beginning of the end” for this nonsense. Congrats to this Judge.. actually making a ruling according to Law?
Amazing!
Hey globalist Lolita Express passenger Chief Roberts….
If there are limitations on your rights, then what you have are not rights but privileges dispensed by the state and subject to being removed at the whim of every power-mad democrat when it suits them.
AMEN!
Hear! Hear!
Just wanted to add a comment on the impact of all this suppression on children.
Our middle school grandchildren went back to on campus school August 17. They attend a Christian school. The State requires them to wear masks all day in doors. That is the major concession the school makes to the State.
I picked them up at school last week. Two happier people you could not see. They virtually bounced into the car and started telling me about their day.
They are taking Latin. They both had just had a test on saying the Lord’s Prayer in Latin. (100% each) Wow! Wow! Great education for understanding languages and great prep for the future.
Her elective is creative writing. His elective is photo journalism. Great training for expressing their self and for developing observation skills.
They told me about their history lessons and discussions on the 9/11 attacks. Their teacher is a Christian and it is a Christian school so the lessons included information from the modern day historic point of view and the Bible’s historic records.
They talked about it being their turn to sit outside on the bleachers during lunch. The classes rotate because there is not enough room for everyone on the bleachers at the same time. I didn’t ask what it was like in the cafeteria but they expressed how fortunate they were to eat lunch outside.
Finally, they had just come out of their after school activity. His is football hers is volleyball they spent 2 hours running around having a good time, learning team work, and fair play. Plus they were building healthy bodies.
****
In contrast I drove past apartment buildings where public school children were shut in doing on line public school.
My daughter has a friend that lives in a 2 bedroom apartment with her three children. During the school day they set up a folding table. Each child has a Google laptop and ear phones to do their zoom classes.
I don’t think it has to be that way. I believe the President is right. Children are safe to go to school.
*******
These comments are coming from an “at risk” grandmother who is on peritoneal dialysis, has diabetes and high blood pressure, and will have a left heart catheterization with a likely revascularization Thursday if the CT scan proves correct.
I would not keep this nation’s children out of school for any reason at all. In fact I believe we will have a healthier nation if ALL the children go to on campus school.
Praise God for Federal Judge Stickman for doing what is right. In Jesus precious name. Amen.
You’ve got that right @nana. The world can’t stop turning indefinitely for a coronavirus. We flattened the curve to get a handle on COVID19 over six months ago. We *now* know who falls into a higher risk category and, more importantly, who doesn’t.
We can take our own initiative to protect ourselves, thank you very much. One size does not fit all. Rip off that bandaid and let herd immunity commence. This Chinese water torture is completely unnecessary and counterproductive.
I am also in the high risk category and I know a few unfortunate souls who succuumbed early on to SARS-COV-2. I believe Hydroxychloroquine + Zinc is the answer for most, if not all, to minimize the severity of their infection.
It is criminal that this well-known and widely studied, lifesaving *early* intervention, has not been made widely available, despite our President’s early endorsement.
HCQ + Zinc (Ionophore) is indeed the “game changer,” not muzzling our children in lockdowns and cherry-picking businesses to board up. Enough already!
Always remember that the same people who brought us infanticide, open borders slave trafficking, lawless Antifa rioters, burned out/looted downtowns, cancel culture marxism, disrespect of God and country, deadly left coast wildfires, defunded police precincts and fake news censorship.. the same people have intentionally *weaponized* the Chinese plandemic. It’s all related to the TRILLIONS at stake in this election.
Judith, this isn’t directed at you personally please don’t be offended.
WE are the answer to this loss of rights. Don’t shut down, don’t wear a mask, don’t quarantine. It’s now or never folks cause when they take it a step farther it will still be a choice, much harder, but the same choice.
Hear! Hear!
Judith,
I have tracked our North Carolina Covid 19 numbers regularly since March. The deaths and high Covid rate were at the beginning of the “flu” season. We have only had 1 Covid death in our County in the last several weeks. Initially the nursing homes were hit hard. (28 deaths in 3 homes).
The schools closed to elementary children is a big concern to me. We live in a very poor County. My husband and I volunteered at one of the failing schools. We got a new County School Superintendant and he made it a priority to improve the failing school. He first brought in a new principal to evaluate the faculty and staffing. She was given carte blanche to choose her faculty. Then she was allowed to change the school to a year round school. After the changes within a year she moved the school from failing with no hope of improvement to just below a C-. This was like a miracle because the school had been in a failing with no hope of improvement status for several years.
The principal said that one of the things that led to the improvement was the year round school. The children were not getting any educational stimulation at home so she needed to keep the school breaks short. With long breaks the teachers were having to spend too much time reviewing and restoring the lessons taught before the break. With short school breaks they had shorter reviews and could move forward faster. I worry these on line classes will be a set back for the C- children.
In North Carolina we did not have the end of the year school testing. I am afraid that it was because not only the C- schools wouldn’t do well I am afraid it was the whole public school system. We will see.
NC Nana, God bless you and your family. They are fortunate to have a wise matriarch and I will be praying for you to have a successful procedure so you can get back to those grandkids soon.
MarieB,
Thank you for your kind words and especially for your prayers. N.
Our Pennsylvania grandchildren, grades 2 and 3, are over the moon to be back in school too. Our Michigan grandchildren, grades 2, 5, and 7, are stuck at home, attending their classes on screen. Girls Scout meetings have all been virtual for six months, and dance classes have only partially resumed in the studio. Can you say ZOOM-dance lessons? I shudder to think what so much non-stop life-by-screen-time is doing to all our children.
Warrprin1,
Praise God from whom all blessings flow that your PA babies are back in school.
Please God please help the MI babies with their needs while they are waiting to return to school.
Enjoy every minute with your sweet babies from a NC Nana.
Correct!
Any chance this can be used against A-Hole Cuomo? He just issued another Nazi Order fining people on public transportation without masks.
Actually yes, I believe it can, this is how legal cases are made, the lawyers use previous cases as “precedent” to argue a case one way or the other.
Let “a-hole Commo” send his beleaguered NYPD to chase all these unmasked scofflaws. I’m sure that their *defunded* police unions, who have all endorsed Donald Trump for President, will get right on it after they catch up to the *masked* rioters. //S
T20- Funny, I was just thinking the same thing! We sure could use a win like that here in Killer Cuomo’s Covid Compliant State of NY.
Know any good lawyers? ?
T20- I am sad to say that I don’t know of any in New York who are working on anti-Lockdown cases.
In fact, it has been my question all along- where the hell are the damn lawyers who we used to see on Fox, etc. all the time? Why aren’t there any high profile attorneys working on challenging the LockDowns?
It would really help if someone of the stature of say Lin Wood or Sidney Powell or even DiGenova would bring a lawsuit but so far nothing. What’s up with that?
There’s a bunch of lawyers in DC…and they work for us…and are supposed to represent the will of the people…Boy are we in luck!!!! NOT?
Oh, you must mean the “DOJ” which is sworn to uphold the Constitution, and protect civil rights, such as not being forcibly locked up in a Death Camp, while being knowingly infected with the china virus? That DOJ? The DOJ that somehow can’t prosecute proven perjury under oath to its own Inspector General by an FBI Officer (mccabe) or proven Senate leaking of a classified FISA Warrant (Wolfe, Warner)? That DOJ?
They are pretty busy investigating garage door pulls, claiming their own agents are russian spies (carter page) to fraudulently obtain fake spy warrants, and spying on the US President.
Isn’t that an oxymoron?? ?????
Andrew would just ignore it, because public safety (as he sees it) is more important than following the Constitution.
Yeah…a pair of handcuffs will do.
The 300+ NY restaurant owners have pulled together a class action lawsuit!!! This was mentioned several days ago!
Yeah. And Cuomo kind of backed down and opened NYC restaurants at 25% capacity. But all of it now is bullsh..
His best bud King Ned did the same in CT. All of these actions are illegal and unconstitutional. But, they know they can get away with it because us plebes don’t have the money to fight this in court. They will issue the fines. If you refuse to pay, they issue a warrant for your arrest. They then come arrest you. Then you have to spend money to fight this in court. They know most will either hide or pay the fine.
it’s BS.
Love that S.L. Jackson meme. I have interrupted just about everyone who uses that stupid phrase (and given the bird to TV when ads use it) with “It’s not ‘normal.’ I will NEVER accept this condition as ‘normal’ and you shouldn’t either.”
Three cheers for the judge who did so rule. This is what needs to spread across our country like wildfire.
It is pretty disturbing how quickly how many idiots have accepted the Face Mask as a fashion accessory.
The commercials really bother me as well. The corporations advertising with gimmicks terms such as “contact-free delivery” and who keep repeating non-specific phrases such as “these challenging/difficult/changing/uncertain times” are the same corporations whose policies contributed to the pandemic’s growth and the difficulties faced in treating it. I feel like someone who smashed my car windshield is trying to sell me a new one, brick still in hand, every time I see a version of this marketing campaign.
I am very glad Wolf got slapped down today, but until people stop accessorizing their face masks and begin to draw connections elected officials and their behavior while in office, such judicial rulings are only temporary fixes.
Amen keeler, people need to see this as no different than kneeling or a star on their shirt, that’s what it is.
I never knew how refreshing a smile was until they went away.
This whole thing is over anyway. Living like this isn’t normal. Someone sue Jared Polis over his Napoleon complex. My kids won’t believe me. Maybe they will believe him?
Hope they have better luck opening up in PA than we have had here in Illinois. Pritzker has lost several lawsuits, we were supposed to be opened up, but unfortunately local mayors, County Board members, etc. are still going along with this lawlessness. Businesses are afraid to open up without the stupid mask wearing, limited capacity, etc.. for fear of being fined or worse.
It was as if, those lawsuits did not exist.
Start suing the local mayors and county boards.
Isn’t that something, the ones who have actually added to our nation are the ones who they attack. Homeless, naw they get a pass. Antifa, naw pass. BLM, naw pass. And top of the list politicians get a pass on masks, quarantine, murder, rape, sodomy, pedophilia, extortion, blackmail.
Pro athletes need to go away for good. How many years we hear time after time, rape, abuse, drugs abuse, murders, but we see them as ………..role models, WTH? MSM need to go also.
I was mentally despairing about my fellow citizens being such ‘tool bags’ and God immediately stopped me. No, it’s your government and it’s occupants to blame. All would be well if they do their job. Enforcement of laws, top of the list. We all know this, saw it coming many years ago. They gotta go or we perish.
Do you remember the court decisions that it was a violation of Constitutional rights to quarantine HIV-infected, and ebola-infected people? The same kind of judges now say that healthy people can be quarantined, businesses closed, churches closed, beaches closed, useful safe drugs HCQ, Ivermectin, etc) prohibited, voting stations blocked but riots and looting safe/OK….
“Political” judges do not follow the actual words of the Constitution. Instead they make up crap, called “public policy” which is whatever totalitarian power grab their politics says the Constitution is blocking them from foisting on citizens.
Rider, I vacillate between being chagrined about all that’s happening due to the violence and disregard for human life, being in denial that it’s as bad as I know it really is and almost desperately sad and resolved to the fact that I believe life is going to be hell for my grand babies.
Then, here in PA, every chance I get, I don’t wear a mask outside, and only inside if a store says without one I can’t go in (food store), and I remember the violence is really bad, but the ones elected and aren’t condemning it are worse than those committing it.
And I PRAY so much for these lost souls doing the damage. The brain washed believing the mask order so much that they wear them in their own cars, windows up, with No One in the car with them. Huh??!!?
Iv also come to the conclusion that those with no or very little faith in God are the ones most afraid and WANT to wear the mask and make YOU wear a mask.
No thank you. I know and love God, I know I’m going to die someday of something, and I’m not afraid.
To all those nana’s out there, with conditions that put you at increased risk, protect yourself and I’ll pray for your safety.
Pray with me for the lost, the brain washed, the soulless government slime buckets and our incredible President Trump.
Lord God, have mercy on us and on the whole world. ??????????
I’ve been forced to work in a mask since spring, or give up the job. Let me tell you, it’s killing me – especially in the heat and humidity. It’s caused additional health problems, but it’s not like there are other jobs here from which to choose. I’m very angry.
So sorry, PJ. I try to fight the good fight against the mask mandates for those of you who cannot. I don’t think I could wear one all day every day, I can’t even tolerate a mask for a couple of minutes. It’s abuse.
I truly appreciate those of you who refuse. Sure do wish there were more in IL, but the commie dictators are threatening to the business owners.
Oh, Illinois — say no more. 🙁 Has that state’s politicians ever respected the rights of the citizens? At least out of Cook County I suspect the answer is no. 🙁
PJ I have options, ONLY by the grace of my Lord. I understand your dilemma because it’s all over anywhere these idiots can control our lives. And that’s why socialism is so bad. Once they control any aspect of our lives it’s over. That was a fact all citizens used to know, now they see only ‘free’ stuff.
They tried to enforce masks at our work but not a single person put one on, they rescinded the mandate within half an hour. Why, nobody flinched.
When the vaccine hits, same thing will happen.
I’m so sorry PJ.
There are many others in this miserable situation. They’d better be voting straight Repub in November.
P J, had to retire for the same thing. Walked away from 50k a year at 67.
Sometimes there more to life than the money. Going to help family next
week , had major damage from hurricane in LA.
Family first for us too. Life is hard and bad things happen to good people. People matter. But knowing others understand and relate to hard, bad situations make them more bearable, to me anyway.
I live in PA… this is good, but does not go far enough.
The order does not affect capacity reduction limits in restaurants , alcohol sale restrictions, and mask requirements.
A good start for sure, but we need more.
Aren’t the things you mentioned Wolf mandates? They aren’t CDC guidelines. I believe they came from Wolf, so that’s all gone as of now.
I believe the order was very narrowly written to address the specific issues the plaintiffs brought.
Alcohol sale restrictions?!?!?!?!? Now you got my attention!!
Seriously, the Dems have their own people so scared of this virus they’re afraid of their own shadows. Hopefully their push for mail-in ballots will bite them in the ass, with a sizable portion of their voters screwing it up by mailing too late, not signing their ballot, etc. Meanwhile Trump supporters will mostly vote in person – because we’re not fraidy cats.

It’s about time for the lawsuits to start flying. All these illegal Governors need to be arrested and broke.
An event I’m holding in PA in October for about 350 or so people outdoors over 60 acres has still not received Chester County approval. I wonder if this will galvanize the commissioners. Will be interesting to see.
Send them a status inquiry and remind them of the Constitution.
Tell them this is protest training for biden-harris supporters, in window-smashing, looting, and molotov-firebombing.
And attach the judges ruling with the final line of your letter saying:
Thanks for your time. My party will be great and since you have no authority over this you are not invited. Have a nice day.
Did you consider not asking for permission?
Just call it a BLM protest & you’ll get it through with flying colors.
If it’s on private property, do it anyway. Wasn’t it a private citizen who hostEd PDJT’s rally in his hangar/building in Henderson, Nevada last night?
Let them fine you. Don’t pay it. If everyone would just do what they want, these Democrat dictators would be too overwhelmed to bother anybody.
A federal judge doing the right thing!! Will wonders never cease!!! I may go out and buy a lottery ticket in celebration.
Send the President a contribution while you’re at it. President Trump named Judge Stickman to the court in 2019.
Yes. And Stickman is 41 years old.
Gipper… Thanks for that info!
What is the penalty for violating the constitution? Does Governor Tom Wolfe go to jail (or worse)? Honest question.
Nevermind, I found it:
“The offense is punishable by a range of imprisonment up to a life term, or the death penalty, depending upon the circumstances of the crime, and the resulting injury, if any”.
https://www.justice.gov/crt/deprivation-rights-under-color-law
Only if the DOJ (Doublestandards of Justice) prosecutes. But the DOJ is busy checking out garage pulls. And figuring out how to stall and prevent prosecution of Presidential coup plotters, and court-perjurers.
Oh there has been p l e n t y of injury, alright.
A puff of cool fresh air here seeing that we actually have a judge who is not so corrupted as to be totally subservient to the DemoCommie anti-America machine.
Still, it’s probably best to not yet pop any champagne corks but wait to see if Emperor Wolf will appeal……
Live free or die. Challenge any infringement upon our Constitutionally granted freedoms by anybody or anything. Less talk, more action. Confront, file suits, publicize, constantly contact officials, etc.
Can’t wait for the appeals to go to the SC maybe then all these unConstitutional shutdowns will be stopped.
From what we’ve seen of C-J Roberts this past year, I wouldn’t be so sure…
I know. But who knows who will be replaced when.
hehehe
IMO, the lock down and mask wearing bullshit should all be illegal. If you want to wear a mask and don’t want to go somewhere it should be up to you and not the Government…….well unless you live under Communism……uh! maybe I do and am not supposed to know it.
As for the mask, it should be up to you to wear one if you want to – ONLY if the facility permits it. Stores and venues ought to be able to DENY entry to people wearing masks for safety reasons, just like they always used to.
PJ, except, for instance, we don’t have a county mandate yet all the grocery stores made corporate decisions (maybe because of liability?) to require masks. So, doesn’t this become a civil rights issue perhaps? At what point or what grounds can someone be denied services when that service is essential, like groceries?
It was decided that to deny services based on race is illegal (and rightly so.) It’s a great question to consider if there are other grounds that should be illegal, eg the mask mandates.
I am working around it but it is a serious issue that needs to be addressed.
Most places now have curbside pick-up and/or delivery, and there are lots of folks looking for work as personal shoppers. The people with health risks should take advantage of these options, stay safe, and leave the rest of us to carry on with life.
My Thursday night plans are made!

Gov. Doofus & his inept sidekick Levine should be on the same list as Cuomo & Murphy. Checked out the PA dashboard last weekend: 68% of PA deaths are attributable to LTC facilities; in Delco (Phila suburb) 83% of deaths are related to the LTC facilities! I’m sure the gov’s crackerjack staff will probably take about 50 days to review the decision.
Puca, listen… all you say is very interesting, but come on, man! The important thing is side kick Levine got its Mother out of her LTC facility before it made the mandate for everyone else’s mother that’s in one. So, ya know…
Come on, man! /s
Can you “carry” in that jurisdiction?
you can absolutely open carry in PA.
Also, PA is a “shall issue” state when it comes to CC. licenses.
So if this is a federal judge ruling, does it apply nationwide? Seems we’ve had several federal judges impose nationwide bans on the Trump Administration for various things….so what about this? Can I use this in California to evade Newsom’s edicts? ?.
“Can I use this in California to evade Newsom’s edicts?”
Things have been much better here in Texas than many states so it may be easier for me to say, but all that we have ever needed in any state, is for enough people to stand up for freedom and go about their daily lives.
Remember that so-called Chief Justice Roberts has OKed blocking church services, despite the 1st Amendment.
It is likely the political (big corporate) 3rd Circuit will overrule this case. There are only 4 Trump Appointees to the active 3rd Circuit who might support Constitutional rights of individuals against totalitarian power decree – the rest are obama, bush and clinton appointees.
A federal judge in the 5th circuit ruled a suit brought by Louisiana bar owners in opposition to their Governor’s mandating their continued closure was within his powers. (The challenge was based on his allowing restaurants to be open and sell alcoholic beverages.)
Next 6 months, school boards will get clobbered with litigation.
It’s the only these people pay attention to.
It’s the only” thing” they pay attention to
Say new normal one more time! Love it!
This ruling needs to spread like wild fire!
https://apple.news/AchTG8LRiTFmJ0g6ta5q6Qg
This too!! Needs to spread like wild fire!!
??? Spread it around!!!
A federal judge in San Diego ruled against California’s ban on standard capacity magazines that the California law was unconstitutional in a 60 page order however the state ban wasn’t lifted pending the appeal. So, a year later a 9th Circuit panel heard the case and ruled AGAIN last month that the California ban is illegal and unconstitutional upholding the San Diego ruling YET THE BAN IS STILL IN EFFECT??? Why is it that an illegal immigrant gets a federal court to block his deportation at 8pm on a Saturday night and it takes effect immediately but my Constitutional rights don’t mean crap after two federal courts ruled they are being violated as we speak???
Permission.
In my humble opinion as a wife, mother, grandmother and born again Christian, I have and will comply with our Constitution, founded on the basis of th Ten Commandments, not the mandates and lies of would be marxists and tyrants.
President Trump, Sundance, Sidney Powell, General Flynn and many others are leading and encouraging us daily to brake the chains of immorality, suppression, and fear.
I pray that we all will follow their lead.
The mask mandate is only the beginning…Don’t comply with the lie!
God Bless America, Land That I Love??
gritsgirl2020 may the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, the Holy One of Israel bless you always, ‘Don’t comply with the lie’. Thank you!
Thank you, 5thranchhand.
God has blessed me and all of us that are so fortunate to live in the United States of America.
My prayer is that we never again grow complacent or take for granted all the sacrifices of those who’ve gone before us.
The world is watching, but most importantly God is too?
“Normal” is the exact opposite of “emergency”, isn’t it? To extend Emergency Powers forever is a contradiction in terms–and creates its own emergency.
” [T]hey are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.–That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, –That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government…”
There is no Right of the Government to alter or abolish our unalienable Rights by renaming Tyranny a Permanent “Emergency”.
Finally a judge who rules based on the Constitution and not from personal feelings.
Now, can we put him on the Supreme Court inplace of Roberts?
“Based” Stickman indeed!
THANK YOU, Judge Stickman….this sets precedent and torpedoes the “new normal” (which isn’t normal, it’s capricious and inconsistent, and extremely STUPID) which the leftists are using to scare and intimidate the actually “normal” Americans into submission. More, please, judges all over America!!!
I’m not sure how they can overturn this ruling even going as far as SCOTUS. If Roberts would somehow subvert the constitution and rule for Wolf then the emperor would have no clothes. If the commonwealth takes it this far (which they will with all the jeopardy this puts them in) it’s a surefire loser.
Bankruptcy eminent.
I have a lower opinion of the Chief Injustice. He has shown himself to go to the intellectual depths of redefining words to mean what they don’t.
He could have been a character in “1984.” I have no faith he won’t create some nonsense were this ever to make it to the SC.

Hopefully Wolf can’t get an injunction against this ruling. If an injunction is denied, it’s basically over for team Pandemia here, as by the time the case would be heard before an appeals court and ruled on, re-placing these restrictions again would be politically untenable.
Wolf’s not running for reelection so he’s not worried about what’s tenable and untenable.
Wolf may not, but demonrat state reps and senators are. Many won their seats by very thin margins and are done if these restrictions continue indefinately.
I’ve been saying the emperor has no clothes her in NC for weeks…meaning the corrupt moron governor…he is naked to me.
May John Roberts be replaced by Judge Stickman……ASAP!!!
The only part of the ruling I differ on is that the initial restrictions by Herr Wolf and his deranged health secretary weren’t done with good intentions but were designed to destroy our Presidents great economy. Maybe the good judge was being charitable. ?
To demonstrate the illegitimacy of Wolf’s dictates, the first words that came out of his spokespersons mouth weren’t to defend any “science” behind the dictates, but to say “but people still have to wear masks!”. Proving this is about having power and control over the peasants, not science.

Well in North Carolina we have a deranged health secretary named “Mandy”…who would trust an adult name Mandy for anything…she’s probably still playing with her purple and pink stuffed unicorn. The woman is deranged and refuse to even say the name of the corrupt moron who is our governor…when will people wake up.
Magabear, I agree. As I read that sentence, I thought “Whoa”. Good intentions were never part of the equation. Rather, the chance to control was just too good to pass up. Judge Stickman was generous, and I believe he knew it when he wrote it. For that matter, Wolf knows it too (but would never admit it. He would need to be…um…there’s a word I want – oh yeah, “honest”).
Governing is hard. Ruling, on the other hand, is fun and easy! Pen and phone come to mind.
“WHERES YOUR MASK?!” If it was up your ass you would know. Me- responding to a self designated mask commissar while walking into Wally World.
There are only two places in town that require masks – Staples (whom I can avoid) and my local quilt shop. I indulge them because the woman who runs the shop has lost a son and a husband in the past five years and she’s scared to death that her daughter, who is also her business partner, might also die with the Chinese Lung Rot.
A friend, with one kidney, was chased down in Sprouts yelling at her to MASK up. She explained her feet and legs were swollen and she had only one kidney and would leave quickly after she found a product. Sprouts called the cops to arrest her. It’s time ~

Never Fails….
Ah Barry!!!!!
Where’s big Mike and the kids they borrowed from their close friends?
Oh well, it just would have made the moment even sweeter.
Hey, I wonder if these two then (after the event) got a room, hired a few male prostitutes, did a bunch of drugs and passed out in their own vomit…only to admit today that they are depressed bisexuals.
GAG!
Yes! Exactly!
??
Ahem. Herr Wolf’s wife MUST be addressed as “First Lady Frances”. Otherwise, she won’t even acknowledge you.
Just so you know, and told to me by someone who attended a luncheon where First Lady Frances officiated.
This attendee is a Democrat, but even she was put-off by this ‘rule’.
Democrats judge-shop to get an appeals court to overturn this in 3…2…1…
It’s so refreshing to come here (that’s the point of the website, though, isn’t it? 🙂 ) to be with others who GET IT about the masks and all the rest of the insanity!!! Our problem here is even though the county and state have not imposed a mandate, all the grocery stores have. I refuse to comply and have worked around it for now (a few in my household made a couple of runs), but I have adjusted as necessary.
Also, we did our first truck run on Friday in honor of 9/11. Turnout was around 150, which given the previous runs measure about 50 was a great increase, and this was really only by word of mouth and Facebook posts (that’s how I found it). We drove around for almost 3 hours and covered a large part of the metro area. It was so much fun and so refreshing to be with other patriots unafraid to take a stand. I think that’s what I needed — not just to talk but to take concrete action. If you get a chance in your area to do a run or a boat flotilla, I highly recommend it! So encouraging and (almost) as much fun as a Trump rally! 😉 And, best thing — mu husband noted we were by far the oldest ones there (he’s retired). So, there is hope the younger generation is “getting it,” and even better, ACTING on it! 🙂 However, I may have to get a faux tattoo and some cowboy boots to better blend in the next time, because I definitely want to do it again! 🙂
Now, if we could do something about NY who fines people for not “presenting papers”.
New York State, with 20 million people, had 0 deaths in the last 24 hours and only 36 in the past 7 days and yet is keeping the clamp on the people.

In the past 24 hours (Johns Hopkins data), Pennsylvania had no deaths from COVID. In the past 7 days, only 79 deaths. Why rationale does Wolf present for wanting Pennsylvania shut down. And it is so ridiculous. You wear a mask to sit in a restaurant a quarter full, take off the mask to eat, put on the mask to go to the bathroom, take off the mask when back at the table.
And that’s why Team Wolf lost in court. They have no science to back up anything they’ve done.
Wolfe is appealing the decision. I figured as much.
Actually, in the last 24 hours (Johns Hopkins) showed only 378 deaths for all of the United States, or about 7 per state. Zero in Pennsylvania, 0 in Connecticut, 0 in New York State., Admittedly, last week they (and CDC) showed one day (Wednesday, Sept. 9) with over 1,200 deaths, and that made all the news, but now with less than 400 deaths nationwide, and zero in many key states, not a peep.

I hope Jay Inslee is paying attention………….
Jay Inslee needs turned over my knee.
I thought we already lost a similar lawsuit in Washington State. The laws here are so poorly written they allow dictatorships on both the state and local level. Our unelected county public health dictator has ordered us shutdown until a vaccine is developed even though there have been ZERO deaths in the county. If “the people” don’t like it, they can sue all the way to the Supreme Court. The Constitution, Bill or Rights and the USA don’t exist for me anymore. If I could afford to move, I would already be gone. Voting? Elections? A candidate needs 65 – 70% of the vote to overcome King County (Seattle) election fraud.
And Trump has flipped the Third Circuit. SCOTUS won’t touch it. Heh.
U.S. District Judge William Stickman IV, a Trump appointee, — I thought we didn’t have “Obama judges” and “Trump judges”? Isn’t that what Roberts said?
I live in North central PA in a RED county, most of us and most business’ have done our own thing, living our best lives. People are not happy.
I just got done reading the Judges ruling.
Probably wasn’t the best idea this late in the day.
gov. Wolf and “cousin it” , his health secretary sidekick have no intention of ever removing any of their illegal power grab.
WE have nothing left to loose. Votes aren’t going to fix this mess.
Finally a little legal progress and some counter punch! This was excellent news and much needed progress.
In North Carolina our idiot in governor is running ads for reelection showing himself speaking online to a so called front line health care worker who tells him “if I can wear PPE, a face mask and a face Shield 10 hours a day, the people of N.C. can wear a mask when they go outside.” The governor nearly in tears says to her “I want to thank you for doing God’s work”. Time out for a barf break.
Then when I go to the nursing facility where my husband lives and go through a set of protocols to enter the grounds for a window visit which is one step below a full fledged enema, I drive through the security gate only to see sign after sign of Please thank our heroes ,or Heroes work here. No actually they don’t. Heroes run into burning buildings, heroes show up at riots where total lawlessness is taking place, they don’t show up in a nursing home where they are content to not be seen by family members for 8 months and they get a paycheck every Friday. It times to call out the false heroism. Healthcare workers are not heroes. I have had to send in an ombudsman 3 times since March for violations and of course the latest is about vote tampering. It’s time someone in the judiciary demand an end to this circus.
Yeah, even though I have a daughter who until recently was working in a COVID ICU, I get upset with the dichotomy created between the essential workers and “non-essential.” The first (government officials and workers at Walmart, etc. ) are getting paid and called heroes and the rest are not and have no security for their future and told they are not-essential. It seems those being put out of a job are the injured soldiers in this war.
A land mark restaurant in my town is going out of business tomorrow because of the lock down in N.C. The business was started by the current owners’ grandparents. When news of their closing hit the press, they were sold out of their specialty barbeque already at 10:00 this morning. Since the closing is officially tomorrow, they are cooking all night in order to accommodate the outpouring of customers. We can thank Roy Cooper for causing this debacle.
“Barry you have such strong and smooth hands. What lotion do you use?”
Caption: Thank you Mr. President. I never knew I had so many skeletons in my closet until you became President.
Love this!
ALL COVID tests currently in use are not reliable/are scientifically invalid..not a singe test can detect how much virus exists in a person..detection of incomplete traces of viral RNA does not mean a person is infected with a disease…ALL associated case statistics are fraudulent…must keep reminding people…
It’s so hard to wrap one’s head around this. I have read about this. Is it really the case that none of these test are accurate??? If so, that has to rank as one of the greatest deceptions in the history of mankind. I’m not challenging your statement — just shaking my head in wonder if that can really be the case.

Thank you. Will watch later today.
The bar and restaurant restrictions are bad, but the the assault on our children is much worse. Wolf has refused to allow more than 250 people at high school football games or any other outdoor sporting events, and no more than 25 at indoor sporting events. He has forced a large majority of our schools into a poorly thought out 3 day a week remote learning program that is failing miserably. Our children are being forced to endure a great deal of suffering. This is by far the biggest election issue around here. Trump better wise up and start pushing hard on these out of control tyrannical Democrats and Rinos to stop this. Everyone is pissed off and completely sick of the covid restrictions and the “new normal” totalitarianism.
Sorry to say it but the Wuhan Wolfman and his Freak on a Leash have already decided to appeal this ruling. Like I said before: STOP WEARING THE MASKS! Godspeed Sundance! Please let’s get this Party Started Soon!!!
Pittsburgh-Area Restaurant Owner Posts Picture Depicting Gov. Tom Wolf And Health Secretary Dr. Rachel Levine As Nazis

The uniforms seem to suit them very well. Maybe try some old Soviet threads too. ?
They do, don’t they!
The he/she Pennsylvania health director took his/her mom out of the nursing home she was in for years the day before he/she ordered nursing homes in Pennsylvania to accept elderly patients with active Coronavirus killing thousands of seniors. He/she explained that it was only a coincidence that his/her mom decided on her own to leave the nursing home she had already paid for on a whim and that he/she had nothing to do with her decision to leave! If you believe that there’s a bridge in Brooklyn for sale! Where do these people dig up idiots like this?
Federal Lawyer in Robes demonstrates reading comprehension equal to 3rd grade Civics class.
Amazing!
Now, when Democrat Federal Judges make rulings like this they apply to the ENTIRE COUNTRY.
Can’t we do the same thing here?
Let the Democrats twist for a change.
Here’s something hopeful:
Bill Gates is probably assembling a hit squad to “silence” these researchers. Only an expensive vaccine is allowed!!!
For a virus never proven to exist…Woods is just as stupid as everyone else who’s bought into this false premise…..
