I do think it makes sense for the Governor to pardon her in theory. But I think it would be standard operating procedure for the Governor to do a background check on her first to determine that she does not have some dark skeleton in her closet (former member of the Klan, etc..). From a practical standpoint it may jsut not be possible to complete such a check prior to her serving her 7 day sentence.
She got caught. I know a lot of people who break this "law" "order" "guidelines" every single day. There is no doubt in my mind that this judge made an example of her. If you want to call this justice, then there is really no reason to argue.
This said, I totally support shelter-in-place order, and will obey as long as I can. I don't view her as a hero, nor do I view her as a villain.
She got “caught” because she went to the media days before she opened and told them of her intent to open, day and time.
You are correct. I don't understand people who claim to support law and order but also support the refusal to abide by laws they deem to be inconvenient.
As others have said, we have a responsibility to bring attention to Unconstitutional (illegal) laws as this woman did. They judge is a Far Left activist, control freak who thinks he is ROYALTY. The arbitrary declaration by government of what businesses are "essential" what are "non-essential" is utterly RIDICULOUS and also unconstitutional.
That is fine and perhaps this can be a test case if she decides to take it further. However, she violated the law. She should not have been arrested imo, but we have to be very careful about applying the law here and there and make sure that doesn't snowball in other areas.
I would suspect that this order and arrest would be held up in court and in fact IS constitutional, particularly based on the TX constitution with such emergence authority vested in the governor. Which provision of the US Constitution would you say is being violated here? Due process of the law under the 5th Amendment? Perhaps, and if tested, it may very well play out that way.
Let me guess, the barber in the other state is black? In some people’s minds, white people are too privileged to feel sorry for. I don’t know if that’s you, but it sure is the other poster’s position. Just because Luther is blonde and has a nice house doesn’t mean her claim isn’t valid or she isn’t suffering from losing her business or being deemed “non-essential.”
No, the barber is not black. I simply believed him whereas with Shelly, from the area where I live and people know her personally, is lying. She is not struggling with feeding her kids. The Barber I spoke of has one little shop, not a string of salons.
Because people don't have to have their hair cut, colored, permed, or whatever they do. I go to a beauty salon to have my hair cut. My last haircut was March 2. I'm surviving, it is not an essential service.
Beauty salon is an essential service for Texas trophy wives.

What a rude and unnecessary comment. Seriously.
