The Court ruling will give great comfort to the many small businesses that have already folded.
Can you let me know which federal court did this? As an uncle of a travel hockey player who was going to be limited in attending his games this season, I'm happy to hear that.
Western District of PACan you let me know which federal court did this? As an uncle of a travel hockey player who was going to be limited in attending his games this season, I'm happy to hear that.
Thanks. That's the federal court in Pittsburgh, which is where I live.Western District of PA
Yep, they won't have to worry about making payroll again.The Court ruling will give great comfort to the many small businesses that have already folded.
Not shocking considering they are unconstitutional.
FYI, the PA State Legislature is supposed to vote on a House Bill this week that effectively would permit non-school indoor sports to be held at 50% of a venue's capacity. I'm hopeful that this bill will pass with veto-proof majorities, as did the school sports bill a few weeks ago.

In May, the U.S. Supreme Court declined to get involved in the debate over Pennsylvania’s business closure orders.
Chief Justice John Roberts, in a similar case seeking to block California’s restrictions on religious gatherings, wrote earlier this year that government officials should be granted wide latitude to act in areas “fraught with medical and scientific uncertainties” and should not be “subject to second guessing by the unelected federal judiciary.”
IANAL, but it seems to me that the opinion of this one judge settles nothing. Maybe he will enjoy his 15 minutes of fame. IDK.
Sweet dreams and warm fuzzies all around, tender.Or maybe he is right.
Me too brother. Tired of sitting in the parking lot watching grainy live streams.Can you let me know which federal court did this? As an uncle of a travel hockey player who was going to be limited in attending his games this season, I'm happy to hear that.

Well, this decision becomes the law in Pennsylvania unless and until there is an appeal to the Third Circuit and unless and until that appeal results in the decision being overturned (the decision could also effectively be held in abeyance if a stay pending appeal is applied for and granted). Therefore, I don’t follow your point. If there is no appeal, the decision stands. If there is an appeal to the Third Circuit, they may well affirm, again making the decision the law in Pennsylvania. What did or did not happen in other Federal cases is wholly irrelevant to this one. As you said, you are not a lawyer...LULZ

Probably won’t be voted on this week. Governor has 10 days to decide what to do. I would assume he will take all 10 days and then veto it. Then goes back to legislature and senate, where 2/3 vote is needed by both to over ride. So, could take till end of month until things are sorted out.FYI, the PA State Legislature is supposed to vote on a House Bill this week that effectively would permit non-school indoor sports to be held at 50% of a venue's capacity.
