Absolute Monarchy : Catholic Priests, Jewish Congregants Sue Cuomo, De Blasio Over Alleged Double Standards On Worship, Protests | The Daily Caller

It is time to end New York s experiment in absolute monarchy, said Thomas More Society Special Counsel Christopher Ferrara in a statement provided to the Daily Caller News Foundation. We are asking the court to put an end to these unconstitutional executive orders and their prejudicial enforcement.

The Thomas More Society s complaint lists a number of alleged abuses of power, accusing the defendants of exploiting the pandemic to create a veritable dictatorship through Cuomo s executive orders, of selectively enforcing social distancing through fines and punishments, and more.

I wonder if they included a Guarantee Clause claim. That would be interesting. Yes, there is a bit of irony in the name Thomas More Society given that TM was a big supporter of monarchy, so long as it was Catholic. Also, I note dearime’s oft repeated accusations that TM played rough with Protestants in his basement. I have no idea if that is actually true, however.
