Reply To: Lawsuit in NJ to force the state to allow worship service

Dear Common,
One component of bringing a case is that it affects you in a unique way. I cannot sue against traffic laws because they apply to everyone. (This keeps the courts out of legislation and budgets.) The shutdown was applied (mostly) across the board. The government could admit that disallowing certaIin functions were in error, or argue that the interest of containing the virus is being applied equally to everyone. Personally, I think the Governors are being overloaded with getting medical supplies, and so on. We are better served the less they have to parse their directives to address personal freedoms. My freedoms could wait for better times.
