[UPDATE: Lawsuit Filed: https://thecivilrightslawyer.com/2020/09/15/filed-bridge-cafe-bistros-federal-lawsuit-against-the-w-va-governor-and-putnam-county/ ]Enough is enough. On Freedom is Scary, Episode 13, LIVE on Youtube and Facebook, I will discuss the fact that the Governor of West Virginia has left me no choice but to file another lawsuit. This time I'm filing in federal court, on behalf of a restaurant who was on the receiving end of our Governor's tyranny, via his local health department secret police. It's been proven that lockdowns and other governmental tyranny doesn't work. Even assuming it was constitutional, it doesn't work. The virus is/was going to take its course. Where the lockdown measures were most tyrannical, the virus spread at the same rate, or even worse. Then there's the unintended consequences and side effects of keeping people locked down, and destroying their small businesses, which is the reason why we weren't supposed to attempt lockdowns in the first place. https://thecivilrightslawyer.com/2020/09/14/new-federal-lawsuit-against-the-governor-over-the-continued-mask-mandate-tyranny-freedom-is-scary-ep-13/ Update: Today a federal judge in the Western District of Pennsylvania issued an opinion striking down the Pennsylvania Governor’s order closing “non-life-sustaining” (i.e., non-essential) businesses, as well as the order restricting large gatherings. It was a great opinion, and great timing as well, since we can now incorporate some of it into our federal lawsuit against the West Virginia Governor. It’s not binding in any way in our federal courts, since Pennsylvania is in a separate federal circuit. But it will be great guidance for the Court, and it also incorporates some of the federal rulings in Kentucky, which clipped the wings of their tyrant governor. A full copy of the 66 page opinion can be found here: https://thecivilrightslawyer.com/2020/09/14/new-federal-lawsuit-against-the-governor-over-the-continued-mask-mandate-tyranny-freedom-is-scary-ep-13/ As for efforts at fighting tyranny in West Virginia, I will be filing a lawsuit on behalf of the Bridge Cafe & Bistro in Putnam County, West Virginia. You may recall their Facebook Post expressing their First Amendment protected speech. This social media post resulted in the Putnam County Health Board (they’re located in Hurricane, West Virginia) threatening administrative closure, for which they physically inspected the restaurant twice for mask compliance, and then charged them for it. They were dragged through the media, and through social media, for the content of their speech. Threatened with closure if they didn’t change the content of their opinions, and comply with the unconstitutional “Mask Mandate,” they had no choice but to comply. See screenshots of the social media at the link: https://thecivilrightslawyer.com/2020/09/14/new-federal-lawsuit-against-the-governor-over-the-continued-mask-mandate-tyranny-freedom-is-scary-ep-13/ We’re suing in federal court for First Amendment retaliation, under Section 1983, and we’re also challenging the constitutionality of the “Mask Mandate” itself, as well as the “Stay at Home Order,” as it applies to this restaurant and the family who owns it. I’ll post the Complaint as soon as it’s filed. Due to the great timing, we’re now incorporating some of today’s ruling out of Pennsylvania.
