why haven't more businesses petitioned courts to overrule the executive overreach of governors and mayors?  In many areas, lower courts themselves are bent the wrong way.  So anyone going to court has to be prepared for at least two rounds of appeals court before they have a chance for justice. And the legal resources for this costs money that small businesses do not have. While this litigation is pending, the local administration can and will retaliate against you by any means possible to snuff you out before you get anywhere. We are no longer living in a nation of laws - it is already being run as a communist cabal where the elite call all the shots.
