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."

You know...the GOP became a cult of child rapists so gradually, most people haven't noticed.

The fight against the Grim Reaper, but his "foundation" will probably continue, pushing for THEIR version of "moral law."

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.

Just remember,
It is always darkest before the dawn.

And my favorite:

Faithless is he who quits when the road darkens.

I am not going to say, “We got this”. But, I am going to say

“Yes We Can”

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

it just doesn't seem like there's any justice for those who hurt the most people, and that's my 70 years of world observation talking.

I know.
I have been so sick of all the injustice to people protesting injustice.

I’m just a few years younger than you and feel that I might have already seen the world at it’s 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.
