John Adams warned that “Liberty once lost is lost forever.” All tyranny needs to gain a foothold is for people of good conscience to remain silent. Through this Complaint, Plaintiff Geller challenges Defendants’ suspension of the First Amendment. There is no justification, pandemic or otherwise, for a government official to revoke this fundamental right of the people.

Too funny. Compare this from the de Blasio spox:
“If our officers see any large groups gathering, they will break it up — whether in a park or protesting on a street corner,” said spokeswoman Oliva Lapeyrolerie.
And this from a NYPD spox:
“A NYPD spokesman said they’d review the lawsuit once they’re served.”
—————–
To the recent letter from the NYPD union that blasts de Blasio for “throwing them under the bus” and making cops do stupid ‘distancing enforcement’ and other incredibly dumb things that makes the public hate the cops.
“NYPD union wants cops out of ‘social distancing enforcement’ ”

Indeed. What is needed though, is not a favorable judgment against De Blasio, but punitive action as well. Jail time. Breaking big rocks in the hot sun … where he fought the law, but the law won.

The more PRESS the better!
Our representatives should be ashamed of themselves. They all swear in to uphold this and ONLY Ms. Geller is coming forward to STAND UP for this. She shouldn’t have to go through the time and expense to do this. Our REPRESENTATIVES should be doing this if they weren’t so dam corrupt and self serving.

Here is the Gateway Pundit article
“Patriot Pamela Geller Sues New York Mayor de Blasio, Police Commissioner Shea Over Suspension of 1st Amendment”
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2020/05/patriot-pamela-geller-sues-new-york-mayor-de-blasio-police-commissioner-shea-suspension-1st-amendment/
“Represented by attorneys David Yerushalmi and Robert J. Muise from the American Freedom Law Center, the lawsuit alleges de Blasio and Shea “publicly and officially announced that the “shut down” required in the executive orders includes the suspension of the right to publicly protest in the City, thereby officially announcing the challenged First Amendment Restriction” and “Despite suspending First Amendment activity within the City pursuant to the First Amendment Restriction, Defendant de Blasio has implemented an Open Streets initiative whereby certain City streets are open to pedestrians and cyclists. However, these same City streets remain closed for First Amendment protest activity even if the protestors maintain proper social distancing.”

amen. i blame the repubs for all of this. they could have gone to court on day 1, or better yet, told the nation to ignore the democrats and the deep state “doctors”. i attended the protest in denver several weeks ago, and not one repub politician was present there to address the crowd and tell them to ignore the governor’s orders. they are all pussies

bobby: Don’t give up, Geller has room to maneuver. Standing relies on personal harms, and she has been harmed, by interfering with her right to organize pretests, and human rights is a core element of her business. Or she can change the suit to fit with financial harm, because of economic problems in NY caused by banning crowds. The first amendment is very broad, and it includes the right to petition the gov’t to redress grievances, including the grievances over the massive death in NYC retirement homes and hospitals. That right is also being ignored.

I’d like to know WHO determines what is considered “essential”?
Why is it that GOVERNMENT or COUNTY employess are considered “essential” and ONLY selected private sector employers are “essential”. I point to Home Depot, Walmart, construction to name a few. In our development, state employees are redoing roads yet CHURCHES and SYNAGOGUES remain closed and deemed not “essential”. Why are MOSQUES allowed to be open? Imagine the weddings and baptisms that had to be cancelled etc..
It is not normal or healthy for human beings to live an isolated life. Suicides, domestic abuse, drug abuse and also alcohol abuse are going up!
It will be time for CIVIL DISOBEDIENCE SOON!

Huge Group of California Churches Announces Plan To Defy Governor Newsom’s Order
(3,000 of them)
By Andrew J. Sciascia
Published May 8, 2020 at 7:21pm
An evangelical church network in California will ignore Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom’s executive prohibitions this month, opening sanctuary doors for communal worship despite the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.
According to Fox News, California Church United, representing roughly 3,000 churches and 2.5 million congregants statewide, announced Thursday that it will return to conducting in-person services by Pentecost on May 31 rather than await the third phase of planned societal reopening.
…
“Our churches are part of the answer, not part of the problem,” Water of Life Community Church senior pastor Danny Carroll said. “We’re an essential part of this whole journey and we’ve been bypassed … kicked to the curb and deemed nonessential.”
…
“My church made 10,000 masks and gowns for doctors while practicing social distancing,” Brown told The Sun of San Bernardino County. “We feed people and procure electronic devices for seniors who are isolated. [Newsom] has no problem with all of that. But when we want to gather to worship, he has a problem.
…
“We have a pastor in the south, in Chula Vista feeding hungry people a mile long in cars, socially distancing,” Domen said, according to Fox. “How can the church not be essential?”
“It’s the heart of Jesus to love and care for all people. The heart of God supersedes government,” he added.
. (See any MUSLIMS or MOSQUES DOING THIS?)

Unrest grows in states that won’t give firm date to roll back coronavirus restrictions
Greg Norman 5/9/20 Fox News
…
As the virus continues its deadly and unpredictable spread across the U.S., the economic losses are piling up as well, with more than 33 million Americans seeking jobless aid since the closures began.
But other holdouts such as New York and Washington – despite revealing phased plans to do so – remain for the most part locked down indefinitely.
…
“As we look at what we need to do to responsibly reopen the state, we can’t help but note that yesterday, May 6 — so this is now over two months since our first case — 325 people walked through or were taken through the doors of hospitals,” New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy said Thursday as protesters amassed once again at its statehouse in Trenton, reportedly chanting “open New Jersey now” and “freedom over fear!”
New Jersey – another one of the holdouts – reopened its parks and golf courses last week. Murphy around that time told “Fox & Friends” that the rest of his state’s reopening can begin to be phased in “as soon as we can responsibly get the health challenges under control” — which he thinks could be in a matter of weeks, not months. But as of Friday, that exact date remains unclear.

No bad idea. PG is just going after this erroneously. Mainly just to get a blow at deBlasio. Large gatherings inevitably will lead to close contact and possible contagion. It clearly makes nonsense of social distancing

Those in politics and the media who see fit to trample the constitutional liberties of the First Amendment of others need to be reminded that those are the very same constitutional guarantees that allow political discourse and a free media to even exist in the first place.
The Second Amendment protects all the others.

“pandemic” OR was it originally a PLANEDEMIC as per the rumored speeches given by a ‘b.gates’ back in 2014. With all of the Constitutional remunerated RIGHTS of the American People being trampled by the DemoNAZIS, I am really beginning to considered this CCP-Flu to be a thought out plan!

It is absolutely horrifying to see and to observe the draconian, bizarre, totalitarian measures and restrictions in the states and towns ruled by the Democrats.
At the same time, we are discovering how badly these states and towns have been governed, how many people “officially” are dying from Wuhan-Covid-19, what is revealed about the miserable treatment and dubious diagnoses and deaths in their hospitals and old people’s homes, how badly they ruined their economies for many years.
All of these and the godless past actions prove that Democrats are made of a disgusting and dangerous race, for Democrats the fate of other people is absolutely unimportant, if they cannot be exploited.
To benefit from others, Democrats try – like all groups based on nepotism and dictatorship – to breed useful idiots, slaves and cannon fodder.
Focused on their ideas, hedonism, lust for power, they have developed a coordinate system that suits them – in this they wallow like pigs in the mud.
Well – not everyone wants to wallow in the DEMOCRATS mud.
Not everyone is an idiot and wants to wake up echoed as a slave and as cannon fodder in DEMOCRATS coordinates.
The attempt to impose this coordinate system on people, who think and feel different, will fail – like all similar attempts in human history have failed.
May God punish the Democrats and all other bigoted and hypocritical people who spread evil and sin against humanity.

Similar lawsuits must be brought in every jurisdiction where tyrannical governors and mayors are refusing to reopen the economy. This effort must not be limited to NYC. These wannabe tyrants must be turned back or they will continue to erode and erase our liberties. Te CCP Virus was designed to crush our economies and establish CCP hegemony. To allow these lockdowns to continue is to cede victory to the CCP.

In my opinion, the longer a State is shutdown because of the Coronavirus, the more Federal dollars they are hoping to get from the Federal Government.
There was a flu epidemic in 1957: https://en Wikipedia Org/wiki/1957–1958_influenza_pandemic
and again in 1968: https://www reuters Com/article/uk-factcheck-woodstock-pandemic-1968/true-claim-woodstock-took-place-in-the-middle-of-a-pandemic-idUSKBN22J2MJ
What is different today that we need to shut down the country? Then as is today the elderly were the ones mostly dying from the flu.
It is time to open the whole country.
