Sure-fire way to End Lockdowns: Food For Thought

Via Edward Cowell 

 Celebrities and the Media Shouldn't Sneer at Coronavirus Lockdown ...

 

Mr. Townsend:

Why doesn't everyone who has had a business shut-down by executive order sue the Governor under each state's eminent domain constitutional provisions? 

State actions shutting down certain businesses "for the public good" is a State taking of property for the public good. EACH taking requires just compensation.

Just compensation would bankrupt States.

My guess is these Little Dictators would fold rather than incur those liabilities.

  2. Such lawsuits are only as viable as the judge hearing them is honest. Most are not. Therefore such lawsuits will almost invariably get tossed out somewhere during the process. Remember....we have a LEGAL system, not a justice system. It's a guarantee that some blackrobed pirate will find some rule, regulation or precedent relieving the government and politicians of their fiscal responsibility for the damage they have done.
