In Maryland, U.S. District Judge Catherine Blake refused May 20 to overturn Gov. Larry Hogan's orders for residents to stay home and close non-essential businesses, and for passengers on public transportation to wear masks. Hogan"made reasonable choices" informed by date and science, Blake wrote, while critics including state lawmakers, ministers and tourist destinations, minimized the risks of the pandemic with"no contrary scientific authority.
But Pritzker moved the case Thursday to U.S. District Court because of the constitutional issues at stake. Bailey opposed the move.in the federal case urging the federal court to return the case to state court. In Michigan, U.S. GOP Rep. Paul Mitchell challenged the governor's orders for individuals to stay home and close businesses as unconstitutional – and not needed.
In Washington, four state lawmakers – Drew MacEwen, Andrew Barkis, Chris Corry and Brandon Vick – seek to block Gov. Jay Inslee’s restrictive orders.
