Federal Judge Rules Pennsylvania Gov’s Lockdown Order is Unconstitutional
A federal judge has ruled the lockdown orders issued by Democrat Pennsylvania Governor Tom Wolf are unconstitutional.
The case stemmed from a complaint filed in May by four Pennsylvania counties — Butler, Fayette, Greene and Washington — that argued against the state’s orders to close “non-life-sustaining” businesses and limit gatherings to 25 people indoors or 250 people outdoors.
Stickman opined “open-ended” measures imposed on people are an overreaching violation of constitutional rights.
“The court believes that defendants undertook their actions in a well-intentioned effort to protect Pennsylvanians from the virus,” the ruling said. “However, good intentions toward a laudable end are not alone enough to uphold governmental action against a constitutional challenge.”
President Trump quickly celebrated by retweeting posts on the issue:
