Federal Judge Rules That Pennsylvania Governor Wolf's Shutdown Orders Are Unconstitutional9/17/2020 In U.S. District Judge William Stickman IV's 66 page opinion released Monday, September 14th, 2020, he wrote (on page 66) "But the solution to a national crisis can never be permitted to supersede the commitment to individual liberty that stands as the foundation of the American experiment. The Constitution cannot accept the concept of a 'new normal' where the basic liberties of the people can be subordinated to open-ended emergency mitigation measures. Rather, the Constitution sets certain lines that may not be crossed, even in an emergency. Actions taken by Defendants crossed those lines."
