Montgomery County judge won't end indoor dining ban


Parker Lewis can't lose. And neither can Montgomery County government in a Maryland courtroom, it can often seem. The recent decision by a judge in Anne Arundel County overturning that jurisdiction's ban on indoor and outdoor dining set up an excellent measuring stick for the Montgomery County decision that came last night in Montgomery County Circuit Court.

Judge James Bonifant declined to grant an injunction against Montgomery County's ban on indoor dining. Another hearing on the matter will be held after the Christmas holiday. Similar efforts to overturn bans were also rejected in Baltimore City and Prince George's County on Wednesday.

    Vote Republican next time.

    Get ready for "Temporarily Closed" to say "Permanently Closed. For Lease". That's right Libs. You own this. You run everything here.

  2. Um, it was a Republican that allowed the virus to spread unchecked. Now his fiscal policies will impoverish millions.

  3. 9:27 AM TRIGGERED! This decision is an apolitical choice based on the impact and overall health of all citizens. But, hey feel free to think that Q theory thought, that YOUR constitutional rights are being violated. This, and other judges, through sound analysis, have concluded otherwise. You are now free to leave the county, and state. Don't forget to take that red cap with you.

    @10:40 AM: Apolitical choice.... Oh sure it is. I doubt you've even read the constitution.

    You should be more thoughtful about it before telling people that they are "free" (read "should") leave the county/state. You do know that they take their tax revenues with them when they go.... which means that it's inevitable that you'll wind up paying more because they left. Poetic justice.
