FEDERAL JUDGE AGREES: PA COVID RESTRICTIONS UNCONSTITUTIONAL
Our friend, Joshua Prince, Esq. had a great update regarding a recent federal judge’s ruling on COVID-19 restrictions imposed by Governor Wolf:
“In a decision just issued in County of Butler, et al. v. Governor Wolf, et al., Judge William Stickman, IV of the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania has ruled that “(1) the congregate gathering limits imposed by Defendants’ mitigation orders violate the right of assembly enshrined in the First Amendment; (2) that the stay-at-home and business closure components of Defendants’ orders violate the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment; and (3) the business closure components of the Defendants’ orders violate the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment.”
