“Too many leftwing, progressive politicians like Mayor de Blasio see this current pandemic as an opportunity to impose draconian restrictions on fundamental rights and liberty. Mayor de Blasio’s latest effort to suspend the First Amendment in the City of New York is one of the most egregious restrictions we have seen. It is unfathomable that a government official’s thirst for power would go this far. He needs to be stopped, and we intend to do so.” (Pamela Geller’s lawyer, Robert Muise)
Pamela Geller Challenges New York City Lockdown in Court
By: Breitbart News, May 12, 2020:
Conservative activist and author Pamela Geller has filed a lawsuit against New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio (D), alleging that the city’s continued suspension of the right to assemble is a violation of the Constitution.
Story continues below advertisementGeller, known for her work exposing the spread of radical Islam, released news of the lawsuit on her website, the Geller Report, last week.
Via the Geller Report:
This case seeks to protect and vindicate fundamental liberties that citizens of the United States enjoy free from government interference. These liberties are not conferred or granted by government to then be rescinded at the will and whims of government officials. These God-given liberties are possessed by the people, and they are guaranteed against government interference by the United States Constitution, which is the supreme law of the land. First among these liberties is the right to peacefully protest government officials through the freedom of speech and the right to peaceably assemble guaranteed by the First Amendment. 2.The right to freedom of speech is not a right to catharsis. It is a right to meaningfully protest and assemble in public in order to change public policy. The most effective way to exercise this right is to organize and participate in a large public protest. Defendants, through the adoption and enforcement of executive edicts, have suspended this fundamental right in the City of New York.

The lawsuit is being filed on behalf of Geller by the American Freedom Law Center (AFLC), a national public interest law firm.

This lawsuit should be copied and filed by freedom fighters in every city and state that has restricted our constitutional rights. I’d do it in Houston but Gov.Abbott and Lt.Gov. Patrick and AG Paxton have our back No petty tyrants allowed in Texas.

The ONLY reason DEMONRATS are trying to continue keeping these cities closed is to destroy Trump’s legacy and economy. THAT IS THE ONLY REASON. It won’t work.
WE, THE PEOPLE LISTEN TO PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP, NOT DEMONRATS.
Demonrats are the EVIL party of destruction and DEATH.

In the picture enclosed, I notice the Police in the background do not have face masks on. The CCP-Flu has proven to not be as deadly as the YEARLY flus that hit Americans. Using government figures.

Most important, Pamela Geller forgot to put the right to assemble in the Churches and synagogues. Why did she forget that? Let me guess, she doesn’t attend synagogues every Saturday?
