The Washington Supreme Court on Thursday unanimously rejected an effort to recall Democratic Gov. Jay Inslee over his handling of the coronavirus pandemic. FOX13

King County Health Officer Dr. Jeff Duchin gave an update Monday afternoon regarding the increasing levels of COVID-19 in the county."Governor Inslee has used his discretion to navigate this pandemic, making difficult decisions in an effort to balance the health and safety of Washingtonians with their individual liberties," Justice Debra Stephens wrote for the court.

The recall backers did not explain how a temporary limitation on the ability of landlords to sue their tenants infringed on the power of the courts; there were adequate alternative means, such as telephonic or online meetings, to ensure public access to government; and restrictions on gatherings were not directed at suppressing speech but "tailored to serve a substantial government interest," the justices said.

Well we know who sleeps with who now. Anyone who thinks he knows what we want but does not asks and make a decision without asking is a dictator. He is aweful. Needs to go.

Being incompetent is only a problem of you're a Republican.

Good job Gov Inslee. Alldem peckerheads just be glad they didn’t have to make the tough decisions

What is it now? 780 days of 'Temporary Emergency Powers' that Inslee gave to himself? But he's a 'friendly' authoritarian.

Not surprised, this is the same group that fell for “these aren’t my pants.”

'The court, however, found that Inslee’s proclamations were well within his emergency powers.' Are we at day 800 yet of these powers?
