A Look At The Democrat Dallas Judge Who Jailed A Salon Owner |
2020-05-11 |
[Federalist] A Dallas salon owner was thrown in jail this week by a local judge after defying state restrictions ordering her business remain closed. Shelly Luther was fined $7,000 and ordered to seven days in jail by District Court Judge Eric Moye on Tuesday whose ruling has since become a nationwide controversy highlighting the growing tensions under lockdowns where government-mandated closings are throwing millions out of work. Luther was released on Thursday however by the Texas Supreme Court which came just after the state’s Republican Governor, Greg Abbott issued an executive order retroactively suspending local ordinances that throw citizens in detention for noncompliance with local stay home orders. "Throwing Texans in jail who have had their businesses shut down through no fault of their own is nonsensical, and I will not allow it to happen," Abbott said the day after Luther was given jail time. Abbott Spokesman John Whitaker made clear in a statement to The Federalist however, that the governor’s executive order still allows local fines and other penalties such as license suspensions to be handed down to those who open without authorization, implying Luther may still have to pay $7,000. |

#9 All I know is his body language during the defendant's final plea was annoyed and dismissive. Very poor show. |

#4 The $7000 was paid by the Texas Attorney General if I heard right. Judge Moye is supposed to file an answer to the Texas Suppreme Court by 4pm today. |

#3 So, he's been fishing for a federal judgeship but hasn't got it? Guess something makes him a less than ideal candidate, even for a dem? |

#2 A Gofundme on her behalf was in the hundreds of thousands last I heard. This POS Judge is trash, and got spanked by his betters. Demanding an apology was the last straw |
