Illinois Judge Michael McHaney injected some sanity into the Covid-19 Lockdown debate in Illinois in an epic condemnation of Governor J.B. Pritzker:
Since the inception of this insanity, the following regulations, rules or consequences have occurred: I won’t get COVID if I get an abortion but I will get COVID if I get a colonoscopy. Selling pot is essential but selling goods and services at a family-owned business is not. Pot wasn’t even legal and pot dispensaries didn’t even exist in this state until five months ago and, in that five months, they have become essential but a family-owned business in existence for five generations is not.
A family of six can pile in their car and drive to Carlyle Lake without contracting COVID but, if they all get in the same boat, they will. We are told that kids rarely contract the virus and sunlight kills it, but summer youth programs, sports programs are cancelled. Four people can drive to the golf course and not get COVID but, if they play in a foursome, they will. If I go to Walmart, I won’t get COVID but, if I go to church, I will. Murderers are released from custody while small business owners are threatened with arrest if they have the audacity to attempt to feed their families.
If only we could get 200 million people thinking like that.
Calice! Tabarnac!
Where you find a judge like dat?
Wow. Who let him on the bench?
It feels like all lawyers and judges we usually hear about are radical leftist ‘progressives’, I know that’s not true, but the leftists are exalted by our disgraceful media, especially when they are destroying the fabric of western civilization.
Things you will never see on a Canadian court document…
Political power doesn’t need to make sense, you just need to obey.
One of the best court rulings ever, I think. I do love a good, well-deserved smackdown.
Where exactly has this been reported in the MSM? Oh right, nowhere. Simple application of the King has no clothes logic.
Who is this judge? He – along with Tweety – are going to get people killed. Such cruelty!
Awesome ruling
That was a beautiful, sincere, and very moving judgement.
