Koko's Bartini is planning to continue to offer expanded indoor dining.

They have taken to social media to ask customers to come dine inside, peacefully protest, and bring a protest sign with them. The owner, Dana Slovak, says his business will not comply with the shutdown.

"The crew wants to stay open so we decided we either fight for it or we don't. It is our constitutional right to stay open. This mandate is not constitutional law and we have the right to do this," explained Slovak.

I saw an interview with this idiot on the local news and he’s asking for donations to pay for his legal fees. What a scam artist.

9. Sigh. So many Constitutional Scholars in that community

No masks in the grocery stores, these clowns are geniuses. All are Culp--Trump voters who hate Jay Inslee. Everything they know about the constitution they learned from Faux News and OAN.

5. You do know, of course, that all Right wingnuts are Constitutional scholars.

You wouldn't believe the number of carpenters and truck drivers on the Right wing forums have the knowledge of the Constitution that would baffle the Supreme Court (so called) judges.

8. Restaurant in Montclair, N.J. tried the same thing.

The governor shut the place down.

10. People should show up with signs and picket the business.

These people are not decent community members and deserve to be run out of town on a rail.
