There are several encouraging stories as we conclude week one of Florida’s gradual reopen.I’m encouraged by the saga of Shelley Luther, the Dallas salon owner who defied orders to close and was slammed by a Dallas judge criminally and financially.Luther has a measure of vindication, but the fight isn’t over.We’ll discuss her story IN A HANDBASKET this morning.
The situations brought on by the coronavirus raise another question.When is a right a right?Royce Bartlett will talk about that on Saturday’s Shooting Straight and we’ll start our day with a story that highlights the issue in another way.
In addition to Shelley Luther’s saga we have other examples of an America that is waking up to what we have been doing to ourselves over THE RONA. One California sheriff says he won’t enforce infringements on constitutional freedoms, another county in the Golden State says they won’t play along.They are open for business.Judges in Massachusetts and Virginia have ruled in favor of freedom in varied cases.The battle is not over; there are states still pursuing lockdown measures, but I am encouraged by what we are starting to see.
I believe we’ll call this a Freedom Friday on Bill mick LIVE.
