“A Columbus bridal shop owner has filed a lawsuit in U.S. District Court against Ohio Health Director Dr. Amy Acton, challenging on constitutional grounds her orders closing ‘non-essential’ businesses because of the COVID-19 outbreak.”

The unspeakable arrogance and irony of the absurdly non-essential, who must rob us to finance their offices, labelling as “non-essential” businesses that supply products or services we willingly, even eagerly, buy, never fails to fell me. 

At any rate, 

The suit states that the bridal shop owner’s constitutional rights are being violated because they are not being afforded any meaningful legal due process to challenge the criteria for what the state considers an essential business. The department and its director claims [sic] the authority to criminalize ‘non-essential business’ as defined, if defined at all, solely by the department and director,” the suit says.

Isn’t “if defined at all, solely by the department and director” the very definition of “tyranny”?
