Beshear and a few other governors are going to be facing 1st amendment lawsuits. I sure hope when this is over we take a look at whatever mechanism it is that gives these governors unlimited authority. I mean they just make up the crime and the punishment as they go. Completely arbitrary.
I'm sure Beshear understood the risks of potential lawsuits when this thing began. That had to be weighed against what could have happened if restrictions were not enacted.
Would you rather make the people on the far right, who already hate your guts mad and endure some politically motivated lawsuits or have your state get overrun with a virus that medical experts were predicting was about to tear through the population and overwhelm the healthcare system? It was a no-brainer for him, and he did the right thing. Now the vultures and sideline-sitters will come in and make him pay with political capital, because they are nihilistic douchebags. This was never not going to happen.
