New lawsuit claims Beshear's COVID-19 order has 'criminalized' dinner for large families

Two families filed a lawsuit Tuesday against Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear in U.S. District Court in Covington to try to stop his COVID-19 order limiting indoor gatherings to no more than eight people from two different households.

They claimed his latest emergency orders criminalize their daily family dinner and other household activities.

The 44-page lawsuit also is on behalf of several religious schools against Beshear’s ban on in-person classes as the virus escalates in the state.

These people just refuse to save themselves. It would be okay if they were just thinning that particular herd, but then they infect the rest of us.

Gov. Beshear is doing the best he can to try and protect the people in this state, but you can't protect people from STUPID.
