Maryland Sued Over Gov. Larry Hogan's Stay-At-Home Orders.

'Three Maryland lawmakers, along with pastors and multiple businesses across the state, are suing Gov. Larry Hogan over two executive orders implemented statewide amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

State delegates Dan Cox, Neil Parrott and Warren Miller are among those suing Gov. Hogan over his stay-at-home order and order to only enter essential businesses during the coronavirus pandemic.

According to court documents, Del. Cox was set to speak at Saturday’s Reopen Maryland Protest and was allegedly threatened with arrest if he attended the rally in Frederick County.

Cox said in court documents that he was warned by a senior law enforcement official that the “’Governor has his sights on you’” and that if I attend, ride along and speak at the Reopen Rally, I would potentially be arrested because certain individuals had indicated they may stop cars “and arrest you.” . .

'We are smart enough to protect the elderly, those in nursing homes and those with vulnerable health conditions while also ensuring that the health and freedom of ALL Maryland is protected. This is not a partisan issue, this is our shared American way of life and we will keep it, so help us God.
Thank you to my colleagues who are standing with me, including Delegates unspoken and those who joined me in this suit, Delegate Warren Miller and Delegate Neil Parrott.”. . .

instead of keeping The United States and her citizens safe, the only thing they see is "money".
