Dem-imposed coronavirus orders face lawsuits across the nation https://www.foxnews.com/politics/dem-imposed-pandemic-orders-face-lawsuits-across-the-nation Stay-at-home orders aimed at reducing the spread of coronavirus are now facing legal challenges from residents and state officials alike, alleging that some measures – mostly put in place by Democrats -- go too far while the country gradually moves toward reopening. California alone is facing at least a dozen lawsuits that include claims that the state has unjustly closed down gun shops and religious services, infringed on freedoms of speech and assembly by restricting protests, and one case where a resident alleges that being forced to remain at home constitutes forced detention without due process. CALIFORNIA PASTORS VOW TO DEFY GOV. NEWSOM AND REOPEN: 'CHURCHES ARE PART OF THE ANSWER NOT THE PROBLEM' “We’re being challenged,” California Gov. Gavin Newsom, a Democrat, told CNN’s “State of the Union” on Sunday. “All across this country, every single day, governors are being challenged, local health officials are being challenged, and it’s a spirit of collaboration. Those that continue to pursue things that put people in harm’s risk, you have to have stepped up efforts and enforcement and sanctions.”
