Ruling on bias, not law

Judge Kevin Busch revealed both his bias and his legal incapability in the ruling justifying his opinion on the FoxFire Restaurant case. First, because the Emergency Management Act does not restrict or forbid successive gubernatorial proclamations means exactly that a governor is permitted to do so. The act does not need to specifically allow them since it does not disallow. His interpretation is specious and grammatically erroneous. He also intentionally ignores the differences between sitting maskless indoors to eat and drink in close proximity to others and shopping masked six feet apart while moving about in stores. If his interpretation is willfully incorrect it reinforces his bias and nullifies his argument; if it isn't he clearly should not be on the bench he occupies.
