Article from For Liberty by Norm Leahy.
Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Wolf (D) is locked in a fight with several counties that have declared themselves open for business, defying Wolf’s phased reopening plan.
Wolf chastised local officials:
“The politicians who are encouraging the people they were elected to lead to quit the fight are acting in a most cowardly way,” said Wolf, asserting they are “choosing to desert in the face of the enemy.”
According to the Wall Street Journal, Wolf went further than name-calling, threatening that the half-dozen non-compliant counties…
…could face consequences, including withholding federal stimulus funds, and that businesses could lose liquor licenses and Department of Health licenses.
Elsewhere, legal challenges to the extended duration of some states’ shutdown orders are moving through local courts:
Lockdown resisters are testing that hypothesis in state courts, arguing that the public health emergencies governors cited when they ordered businesses to close and told people to stay at home no longer exist. An Illinois lawsuit made that case based on a statute that limits the length of a governor’s emergency declarations—an argument that last month persuaded a judge to issue a temporary restraining order. A New Hampshire lawsuit filed this week claims new circumstances have eliminated the statutory rationale for that state’s lockdown.
Even as these lawsuits move forward, some jurisdictions are opting for even longer periods in shutdown, including Washington, D.C. (through June 8) and Los Angeles, which said to be all but certain to extend its stay-at-home order through July.

Wolf, just go away, you’re done as Governor and as a Human Being. WE ARE IN CHARGE AND DON’T FORGET IT, DO I MAKE MYSELF CLEAR ?
Make yourselves clear at the ballot box. Politicians are very hard of hearing otherwise.
Just who is this idiot Governor calling the enemy? He chastises the county politicians for being cowards in the face of the enemy! Citizens of the Great and Beautiful State of Pennsylvania, your crooked Governor considers you, the citizens, as the enemy. He needs to be dragged out of the Governor’s Mansion and kicked over the state lines.
Yes. Immediately.
Good words, David!
Since when do these reptiles have the right to ILLEGALLY control our lives?! And where in hell are the ones that will put a stop to this?! Where in hell are the legistrators?! If they don’t act on our behalf, WE WILL!
The more small and independent businesses they can close down permanently the more they can have control over every aspect of your life!
Absoluty, correct
I bet this sack of crap has never had a business or struggled to make payroll, while this is going on, he is still getting full salary! He needs to voted out of office, another leftist hack.
He had a business – cabinet manufacture – his business was allowed to stay open – not what I consider essential!!
Who is the coward? Certainly not the ones who are not afraid to go to work. Sounds like the makings of another civil or revolutionary war for freedom. There won’t be anything civil about it.
All of you evil Democrats will lose in November because I know a secret about President Trump that you don’t.
Wolf has best make himself scarce in these counties as he is Persona Non Grata and liable to find himself under arrest if found in these precincts.
And if his personal bodyguards attempt to interfere with an arrest they will swiftly find themselves subject to the same “courtesies”.
Governor Wolfe, we are responsible adults and don’t need a tyrant like you to tell us what to do and when to do it. Stop the nonsense and let us alone. You’re acting like a spoiled brat. Go to hell.
People from states whose leaders are trying to take away the civil liberties of its population should contact the federal government and Attorney General Barr and report them . AG Barr has stated he will look into any situations he feels where a persons’ civil liberties were suppressed
These Dem azzle govs have got to go. Either by the ballot box or feet first. We have the 2nd Amendment for a reason and if they don’t understand that reason it’s damn time right now to show these bazzturds what it is. I have one of these brain dead azzles acting as gov in my state. It’s a Western state and this brain dead azzle came West from a state almost in Canada. He knows nothing from s*** what it means to be a Westerner or an American! He’s a Demonic rat and he’d better wake up pretty soon or regret it!

Democrats will do anything to place blame on Republicans. They will harm voters through taxation and regulations, their best tools. Democrats are Democrats, Über Alles.
I’m a Republican, but I”m not a puppet, the virus is as active as ever; so common sense says not to stop protecting ourselves is stupid——Fools (and money hungry) rush in where wise men fear to tread
Money hungry…..what a jacka…people are losing their livelihoods dork! 66 percent that caught virus last week were sheltering in place. You RINO have no idea about freedom..go to the other side you science deniers!
Seems as though the left just wants the USA to fail. It’s good people are beginning to let these traitors know they will not be pushed around. They need to be reminded of why we have a Militia.
