Wasn’t the judge following the law as he should?He went too far because he was angry....we don't need judges like that....they are supposed to keep a cool head and not imprison because he is mad....What’s the big deal?The judge should be recalled....
She was released after 2 days “time served”, which was a good lesson for her.
Are you angry at the governor too?
For the record, I agree that she should not have done that.
.
She violated the stay-at-home order by reopening her business, against Texas Governor Greg Abbott’s original COVID-19 executive orders.

WRONG!
Governors are the executive and can NOT make law that is only for the legislative.
A governor can declare martial law and make decrees, but only if the legislature is unable to meet in a timely fashion.
It is totally and completely illegal for a governor to declare that shops can not open.
That is a total violation of the separation of powers, the 4th and 5th amendments, etc.
Executive orders are only legal when they detail the implementation of a statute passed by the legislature.
There is no such legislation authorizing these actions by the governor.
A stay at home order is completely illegal because obviously people have to do things in order to survive, and survival is supreme. No governor can ever arbitrarily over ride what one has to do in order to survive.
Nor does a "stay at home" order make any sense.
Flattening the curve does not reduce the area under the curve, so results in more deaths, not fewer.
The least deaths come from obtaining herd immunity as quickly as possible, because then the virus is totally eradicated. And while a vaccine is the best way to get herd immunity, the quicker alternative is if 55% of the young/healthy population volunteers for deliberate infection of the first strain of COVID, that was not lethal. The death toll would only have been a few thousand, and it would have been over in March.
