From what I remember the courts ruling was very specific that the governor didn’t have that authority but there hasn’t been a ruling on whether or not the health department does as far as I know. I dunno, I’m not saying any of it is “right” or legal and I’m definitely not a lawyer. Just saying what she did to circumvent the ruling as I understand it.
I don’t know what recourse small business owners are going to have. Most of them are struggling as it is and even if they attempt to defy orders and stay open, certainly their business will suffer even more. And if you’re a restaurant owner and the health department shows up and shuts you down for having indoor dining what do you do?
I really don’t know but it’s going to get very ugly. It doesn’t affect my job directly because I work for one of the big corporations she makes exemptions for but when small businesses die, everything around them dies eventually as well. 3 weeks almost certainly is going to turn into 2-3 months again too.
I don’t know why this argument is legitimate. Then health department is doing unconstitional.

Sure. It’s just people won’t take this. People will glad to get penalty and that should be enough to make people mad.
