Breaking: Federal Judge Rules Wolf’s Pennsylvania LockDowns Unconstitutional – Calls Them “Overreaching & Arbitrary”

 

Butler, Fayette, Greene and Washington counties — and some Republican officials like Congressman Mike Kelly and state Reps. Marcie Mustello, Daryl Metcalfe and Tim Bonner — filed a lawsuit against Gov. Wolf and Secretary of Health Dr. Rachel Levine. They and several businesses said their constitutional rights were violated. The counties were in the “red” phase when they filed the lawsuit in May, saying the restrictions on businesses and gathering limits were unconstitutional. U.S. District Judge William Stickman IV, an appointee of President Donald Trump, sided with the plaintiffs. Stickman wrote in his ruling that the Wolf administration’s pandemic policies have been overreaching, arbitrary and violated citizens’ constitutional rights. The governor’s efforts to slow 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.”

 

The ruling found that Wolf’s orders violated numerous clauses of the Constitution, including “(1) that 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) that the business closure components of defendants’ orders violate the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment.”

Trump administration rolls out new ban on Chinese imports made in 'concentration camp'

 

The Trump administration moved to block substantially more imports from the Xinjiang region of China, where approximately 1 million Uighur Muslims are forced to manufacture goods in “concentration camps,” according to homeland security officials. Ken Cuccinelli, who performs the duties of Department of Homeland Security deputy secretary, told reporters in a press call Monday afternoon that Customs and Border Protection officers who screen imports at ports of entry will block items made at any of five locations in China. The Chinese government claims the sites are vocational skills and training centers or workplace facilities.

 

“This is not a vocational center. It is a concentration camp — a place where religious and ethnic minorities are subject to abuse and forced to work in heinous conditions with no recourse and no freedom,” said Cuccinelli. “This is modern-day slavery. President Trump has been very clear: This administration will not tolerate the egregious human rights violations that are taking place in China.” “Illicit, inhumane, and exploitative practices of modern-day slavery will not be tolerated in the U.S. supply chain,” said acting CBP Commissioner Mark Morgan. “For those people and entities who traffic in these despicable practices, know that every CBP officer who reviews cargo information is looking to keep these products out of the United States economy.”

 

To date, in fiscal 2020, which began last October, the U.S. has imposed a dozen bans on imported goods, including eight against Chinese entities. Federal law prohibits the importation of merchandise mined, manufactured, or produced, in part or fully, by convict labor, forced child labor, and indentured labor. The United Nations estimates 1 million Uighur Muslims have been detained in labor camps there. China is the world's largest exporter of cotton, most of which comes from Xinjiang.

Pelosi: Trump ‘Hasn’t Been on the Level’ — Not a ‘Good Use of Time’ to Work With Him

 

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) on Monday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “Live” said it is not a good use of her time to negotiate with President Donald Trump because he is not on the “level.” Melvin said, “Madame Speaker, with all due respect, you just said “forget him,” talking about the president. You haven’t talked to him about the wildfires. I get the impression you probably haven’t talked to him about the coronavirus relief bill. Have you and the president just stopped talking? Is that where we are?”

 

Pelosi said, “Well, I’ve spoken to his representatives, and he says that they speak for him. I take that to be true about the secretary of the treasury. We had worked together.” She continued, “We worked with four COVID bills with the administration. Four passed in an overwhelmingly bipartisan way. I hope we can do it now. Quite frankly, my experience with the president is it hasn’t been on the level. You know, he’ll say something, then it doesn’t really happen. So in the interest of time, we’ll work with who he sends over.” She added, “But on TV a number of times, the president said, “You send me a bipartisan immigration bill, and I will sign it,” and then walks away. You wonder who is in charge there if he says that and then walks away from it. So I don’t find it a good use of time, but I do know that the Congress and the executive branch need to work together to get the job done.”
