Does anyone know the link to the real GoFund me page? Looks like there are quite a few and I don't know which one is legit.

She was stupid and wanted attention....legally they could open Friday ...so she just had to wait 5 days...she could have spent that time calling her clients and setting up back to back to back appointments for the next couple months...get the place ready with supplies and all the stuff she'll need to have that place humming...she wanted to make a statement
The judge in Texas has created a very famous martyr. Very shrewd.
Kinda like you, Mainstream.
That's what I thought, but we need to be clear.
He has a lot in common with our own Dr. Anthony Fauci. Corruption is the order of the day:

I'm not a lawyer, but I've thought about playing one on TV.
My Wisconsin cousins said that Gov. Evers' emergency order wasn't supposed to go past 60 days. He's extended it and now they're hashing it out in the courts. I tried to search for a link with info on this but I can't find anything.
Even Ted Cruz and AG Barr have said that government agencies have the right to issue emergency orders and shut down businesses. There's all sorts of precedence using them for natural disaster response. I presume there's some sort of time limit on emergency orders like that, but my internet searches have turned up nothing. Maybe somebody can direct me to some sort of online legal resource where a man can find that type of information.
I think you're going to find that the legality is going to vary state to state depending on the laws in place for that particular state. With a quick search, I was able to locate the related laws in my state.
Everything in quotes is taken directly from the laws referencing a state of emergency (I cut out quite a bit for the sake of addressing the issues I think you and some of the others have been getting at.) -
"If the Governor finds that an emergency has developed or is impending due to any cause, the Governor shall declare a state of emergency by executive order or proclamation. A state of emergency may not continue for longer than 30 days unless the Governor renews the state of emergency. The General Assembly by joint resolution may terminate a state of emergency at any time."
So, here at least, the governor can continue the state of emergency indefinitely, as long as the legislature doesn't shut it down.
"After declaring a state of emergency, the Governor, if the Governor finds it necessary in order to protect the public health, welfare, or safety, may: suspend the effect of any statute or rule or regulation of an agency of the State or a political subdivision."
I'm not a lawyer, but to me, this reads as do whatever they please.
"Direct the control of ingress to and egress from an emergency area, the movement of individuals in the area, and the occupancy of premises in the area."
Since the "area" affected is the entire state, they can control the movements of all individuals within the state.
"Authorize the use of private property, in which event the owner of the property shall be compensated for its use and for any damage to the property."
In this case, not authorizing the use of private property (businesses). This may be a route for a business owner to take if they wanted to recover some of the money lost during the stay at home orders here. They could, if they had a really good lawyer, probably craft an argument that the ordered shutdown constituted "damage" to the property and they should be compensate for it, as required by law. Like I said, I'm not a lawyer, so that may be a really, really big stretch.
5 more days with no revenue. Do you own a business? My guess is no. I own a business and I know that 5 days is a crippling blow to most businesses, let alone the weeks this has dragged on. What makes you think she has the $$$ to get supplies ready when their children are hungry? Really? Oh my hell.
Have you ever seen a hungry child? My guess is no. God forbid I ever see another hungry child in my life--I have seen far too many picking through piles of garbage looking for something to eat. I have seen more economic destruction than I care to in my life (though certainly there are plenty who have seen far worse than I have) and I certainly don't want to see any more of it come here.
No shit...and it was a damn fine statement that needed to be made--RESPECT.
I see the Texas AG has felt the public heat on this one and told that stinker of a judge to let her out. People really don't like it when men bully women and the Texas AG wants this fire put out before it turns into an inferno. The public is not on board any longer with these restrictive measures.
Thanks for the info, that's interesting.
Again, no legal experience, but I see inconsistency and discrimination being the main avenues for filing some coronoa-claims. There's no precedent for what makes an entity or activity essential vs. nonessential, as Rip and others have mentioned, and no definition for what those terms actually mean, to say nothing of how they've been applied. Religious organizations in particular got thrown into the nonessential category, which seems ripe for for a lawsuit once some church or synagogue nuts up and hires a lawyer.
Hypothetical case scenarios: The location that cuts my hair also sold lots of hair care products. I can't walk in and buy those products at Great Clips, but I can buy them at Wal Mart. Why weren't hair salons at least allowed to maintain the this portion of their business? Restaurants deliver food, why can't Great Clips do curb side pickup for products? People bought protein bars and shakes at Target, why not allow my gym to at least sell those as well? Beer and liquor is sold at Kroger, why not allow bars to sale fifths of vodka and 12 packs of hard seltzer (I at least know the answer to that question in Wisconsin, and it's called the Tavern League). Smells like some flavor of discrimination to me.
There's my be some problems with these scenarios, but even if judges throw out 99% of the cases, at least a few will settle in favor of the plaintiff.
States are losing out on tax revenue, next on the agenda is class-action lawsuit payments and legal fees. Proxy wars, here we come.
