Several Florida attorneys filed a lawsuit in Jacksonsville against the city to block or enforce restrictions on the Republican National Convention set to take place in August at a local arena amid the coronavirus pandemic.
It’s certainly a nuisance, though it’s injurious to the entire country and to the rest of the world as well.
IANAL so, is a class-action amicus a thing?
Asking for a lot of friends.
Protecting public health Trump’s all.
This IS funny…A headline that tells the truth in Verbiage even maghats will understand…LOL…
Not true:
“The state now ranks highest for reported cases of the coronavirus in the United States.”
New York is still nearly double FL in total cases…does the writer mean DAILY reported cases?
Ah-Hahahahahah.
Jacksonville really doesn’t want that carnival barker in their town making the pandemic worse, but most GOPers are too afraid to tell him that so obviously some concerned lawyers had to do it. I do hope they have standing to bring this case. The article doesn’t say who specifically they represent or who they are but it does say they are from Florida so at least they have a dog in this fight. I really think its much more than a nuisance however. Its a fucking public health threat endangering the lives of Florida’s citizens as well as other states.
Germ-Over-People Party is not just a nuisance & injurous BUT they are a MENACE to society! See trumpdeathclock.com!
“A nuisance”…ahahahahahahaaaaaaaaa!!!
Sort of like a small child with a runny nose whose parents send him/her to school anyway. What could go wrong?
Presumably, but give FL a couple of weeks, they are on track to overtake NY soon. However, TX and CA are also in the running.
I suspect that there is technical legal sense to the word “nuisance” that made the use of that word appropriate, and perhaps even necessary, in the complaint. The problem is that the everyday meaning of the word is what is going to jump out at non-lawyers, and that sure makes this suit look like overreach. If you go to law to suppress all R speech that is a damn nuisance, basically that means that you suppress all R speech. Hell, there’s folks on this site who pretty clearly vote D, but whose comments are predictably nothing but a damn nuisance despite that.
It’s pretty clear overreach to aim to suppress speech that is a nuisance in this country, though we would finally have some peace and quiet around here if that happened.
Hey don’t count out Arizona. We’re smaller, but Gov. Douchey tries hard.
the Republican National Committee and its leadership to be a nuisance
That is all that needs to be said…
If the court declares the event a nuisance,
This should be a no-brainer. Every Republican event is a nuisance, even before the Coronavirus hit.
The VyStar Veterans Memorial Arena is owned by the city of Jacksonville, from what I could see online. I would assume that the lawyers filing a lawsuit would be residents of Jacksonville, and since it was their tax money that built the place they would have standing to sue. But then again IANAL
Hertz to be Arizona.
Hey! We are the #1 per capita hot spot IN THE WORLD!!!
Yeah. Number One! Number One!
The majority of the citizens don’t want it, no. And the city is going to get left holding the bag, since they put no written contracts in place for anything, and the RNC is balking at setting up committees for Jax since they are already committed to dozens of contracts in Charlotte.
Oh…and just to spice up the story:
The mayor has now gone into self quarantine.
The whole thing is going to be a shit show.
What we’ve seen ever since Spring Break is the distilled essence of Florida Man.
