Roy Moore sues Alabama over COVID-19 restrictions
Source: The Hill
Former Alabama Chief Justice Roy Moore and a conservative legal advocacy group he founded have sued Gov. Kay Ivey (R) over restrictions imposed during the coronavirus pandemic.
Moore and the Foundation for Moral Law accused Ivey and State Health Officer Scott Harris of infringing on citizens' rights with requirements that masks be worn in public.
"Unconstitutional restriction of church assembly and worship, discriminatory closing of businesses, stay at home orders, social distancing, wearing of masks, and restriction on travel are simply against our rights secured by the Constitution of the United States," Moore said in a statement.
The lawsuit, filed in Federal District Court for the Northern District of Alabama, seeks a temporary hold and permanent injunction against Ivey and Harris "from issuing mandates which exceed their authority."

(11,514 posts)People got over restrictions on smoking which were implemented to protect the health of others, how the hell is asking folks to wear a mask in public places any different?
Roy, just go away.

I think it would be great to resurrect that pearl to show the level of unity we can muster.

I have been so sick of all the injustice to people protesting injustice.
Im just a few years younger than you and feel that I might have already seen the world at its best it will ever be. And I never got to travel to all the places I wanted to visit.
With geopolitical and environmental changes, I will never experience what they used to be like now anyway.
