"If you believe, take the first step, it leads to Jesus Christ. If you don't believe, take the first step all the same, for you are bidden to take it. No one wants to know about your faith or unbelief, your orders are to perform the act of obedience on the spot. Then you will find yourself in the situation where faith becomes possible and where faith exists in the true sense of the word." - Dietrich Bonhoeffer, The Cost of Discipleship

Btw, lawsuits have been issued against Cuomo by business owners as well, apparently because the attorneys (you know, those individuals we assume are better experts at the law than either you or I) also believe that the mandates are... wait for it... UNCONSTITUTIONAL.
Here's the opinion on the case, in case you're interested. Unless you're willing to engage the text with more reading comprehension than you have with the other material you've read, I'm not sure you should waste your time. You clearly have a lot riding on your belief that the orders are all just unconstitiontal.

Quit beating a dead horse, bro. I referenced the NY order being ruled unconstitiontal before you ever even brought it up. It doesn't prove what you're saying, in fact it's the exception to the rule. It was ruled unconstitutional because of the first amendment issues, and the implication is that otherwise the shutdown orders were CONSTITUTIONAL. You keep making sweeping statements about how all the shutdown orders are unconstitutional, and you have no evidence to back that up.

The mental gymnastics you've got to go through to justify it is astounding, but understandable I guess considering your profession. Actually this particular case confirms what I said in my initial post #120. The issue never was whether violating first amendment rights was unconstitutional. It is, period, and you can't get around that. The issue is does science and the sake of the public health justify violating those rights, and that's where the area gets murky and grey. And it seems to be what these lawsuits reflect. They're agreeing with me that there are two issues and acknowledge that the mandates are in fact unconstitutional and violate their first amendment, and disagree that the science/health risk is enough to justify this violation which is the excuse government is trying to use."If you believe, take the first step, it leads to Jesus Christ. If you don't believe, take the first step all the same, for you are bidden to take it. No one wants to know about your faith or unbelief, your orders are to perform the act of obedience on the spot.
