We filed our response on Tuesday, February 23rd. The next step will be either a Supreme Court hearing or a legislative solution that becomes law. In either case, the lawsuit has made a huge impact by forcing the governor to negotiate, while pushing the legislature to represent the voters of Arkansas. We will not quit fighting until our freedoms are restored.
Rutledge response to SC filing
Below is the AG’s office response to our Supreme Court filing. It is full of baseless and nonsensical arguments, specifically that (1) Asa has unlimited executive power, and (2) that Romero has full authority over the people of Arkansas as long as the virus persists. While we work toward a proper legislative solution, our arguments remain strong; the AG’s response does not put a dent into our legal case. We will file a vigorous response quickly.
