Another Federal Judge Rules That Coronavirus Shut Downs Are Unconstitutional – Of Course They Are!

“A law repugnant to the Constitution is void, and courts, as well as other departments, are bound by that instrument.” – Chief Justice John Marshall

N.C. SARS-CoV-2 orders unconstitutional – fed judge

On July 25^th of this year, I brought to your attention the obvious when it comes to governors, attorney generals and/or mayors implementing that which is clearly out of the scope of delegated authority given unto them by the people that they are to serve (Matthew 20:28).

I wrote that nsjonline.com reported:

RALEIGH — A federal judge issued a temporary restraining order preventing the enforcement of Gov. Roy Cooper’s executive orders that restrict church worship in North Carolina. A group founded by pastors and churches sued Cooper over his executive orders alleging they violate the U.S. and N.C. constitutions.

U.S. District Court Judge James C. Dever heard arguments on Friday from a group of plaintiffs who challenged Cooper’s authority to restrict religious activities. Saturday, the judge said the plaintiffs are “likely to succeed on the merits of their Free Exercise claim concerning the assembly for religious worship provisions in Executive Order 138, that they will suffer irreparable harm absent a temporary restraining order, that the equities tip in their favor, and that a temporary restraining order is in the public interest.”

The judge said unequivocally that “There is no pandemic exception to the Constitution of the United States or the Free Exercise Clause of the First Amendment.”

Pa. SARS-CoV-2 orders also unconstitutional

Well, another good judge, making reference to that which is constitutional and that which is unconstitutional (Deuteronomy 25:1), came into play on a national forum to state the obvious.

The Hill reported:

A federal judge ruled on Monday that Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Wolf’s (D) coronavirus orders, which shut down the state, closed businesses and limited gatherings, were unconstitutional.

U.S. District Judge William Stickman IV, a Trump appointee, said in his opinion that COVID-19 orders from Wolf and Pennsylvania Secretary of Health Rachel Levine violated and continue to violate the First Amendment right to freedom of assembly and the due process and equal protection clauses of the 14th Amendment.

The efforts to stop the spread of the coronavirus “were undertaken with the good intention of addressing a public health emergency,” Stickman wrote.

“But even in an emergency, the authority of government is not unfettered,” he added.

“There is no question that this Country has faced, and will face, emergencies of every sort,” he wrote. “But the solution to a national crisis can never be permitted to supersede the commitment to individual liberty that stands as the foundation of the American experiment.”

In conclusion

Friends, there is enough information exposing this perpetual fraud for what it is (Ephesians 4:14). I just thank the Lord that He sent in good judges to help further expose this fraud it for what it truly is.

And when the LORD raised them up judges, then the LORD was with the judge, and delivered them out of the hand of their enemies all the days of the judge: for it repented the LORD because of their groanings by reason of them that oppressed them and vexed them.Judges 2:18

Editor’s Note

This article reached CNAV a full week later than intended. So obviously the death of Mme. Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg overtook this article.

To speak of the raising-up of judges becomes doubly appropriate in this and other contexts at this time. The Supreme Court became a battleground decades ago, and the final battle will now take place.

CNAV holds that Ruth Bader Ginsburg did not decide her cases with the attention to “individual liberty” and “the American experiment” that Judge Stickman brought to bear in the Pennsylvania case. Her dissent in DC v. Heller (the individual Second Amendment rights case) damns her in this regard.
