She broke the law, plain and simple Originally Posted by BLM69No, she actually broke no law that is a statute in the state of Texas. The judge is a well known arrogant prick and hated by just about every lawyer in the metroplex. Whay do you think the state Supreme court let her out of jail? She broke no actual law.

So.. we're in an uproar about a conservative white woman being jailed for this. One who, by the way, obtained a PPP loan from the SBA during all this. But we're completely silent on the hairdressers down in Laredo who were arrested for doing nail services in their house because they needed to feed their kids and their salon was closed.... guess they're too brown to be good optics on Fox News and GFM. Originally Posted by Grace PrestonThe two women you are talking about do not live in the 4th largest media market in the USA. They also weren't smart enough to actually contact the media. They receive a citation and were not put in jail by a left wing judge. The Dallas salon owner got her PPP after this fiasco started and there was no guarantee that she would secure a PPP loan as most that have applied for one do not get one. If the two "brown" women in Laredo are legal citizens, they can also apply for a PPP loan.
I'm a Democrat - and putting this lady in jail shows fatally poor judgment. Cite her, fine her, whatever - but don't put the lady in jail (especially after releasing inmates from the county jail due to COVID management.She was a flagrant violator of the law. She should have gotten 30 days. At least.
It's stupid and poor judgment and not good for the community relative to other real crimes. Originally Posted by NotSureAboutThis

It was important to shut this case down because it is a text book example of a tyrannical government. It was not the law or the interpretation or even the pandemic at stake. It was a judge who overstepped his authority with the punishment phase of contempt. He has his rights as a judge but his authority does not include jailing someone simply because they didn’t kiss his ass Originally Posted by FunMondayBoth the Governor’s order and Judge Jenkins’ order authorized confinement for violations. Without a sanction, laws and orders aren’t laws and orders. They toothless suggestions and legal nullities.

Dave Shoulders She violated a court order. And a court order has the force of law. Whether it is for a witness to appear under a subpoena, an order to pay child support, or an order to follow a government regulation. The Court order in this case was to obey rules set by both the Governor and the County Judge.
Specifically, the Court issued an restraining order ordering her not to violate the legal orders of the Governor and the County Judge regarding the spread of COVID-19. The Governor’s orders are authorized under the Texas Disaster Act of 1975 codified as Texas Government Code Section 418. Specifically look at 418.012 and 418.017(a). The County Judge’s order is authorized under Texas Government Code Section 418.108. Both are constitutional exercises of the police power if the State. Those are just as valid a source of law as any other and are explicitly delegated powers from the legislature.
