Critics of Gov. Cuomo’s pandemic orders hope to capitalize on Supreme Court ruling

Western New York opponents of New York Governor Andrew Cuomo’s measures to control the spread of the novel coronavirus said Monday that a recent Supreme Court ruling may help further their cause.

The nation’s highest court temporarily barred New York State from enforcing strict attendance limits at houses of worship in areas designated as COVID-19 hot spots in a decision released on Nov. 25. The ruling is preliminary, but prominent Libertarian attorney James Ostrowski said it leaves the governor vulnerable to more legal challenges.
“The whole lockdown regime is now open to scrutiny, and we think that, frankly, there’s going to be more lawsuits,” Ostrowski said. “What the state really needs to do [and what] we recommend in one of our briefs is to say ‘Withdraw these illegal orders,’ because, frankly, the potential liability the state’s building up, the state can’t pay.”
Ostrowski is himself a plaintiff and the attorney in one such lawsuit, Lewis v. Cuomo, which was filed in May in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of New York. He held a press conference in a rainy Niagara Square outside Buffalo City Hall Monday along with two fellow plaintiffs in the same lawsuit: Erie County Libertarian Party Chair Duane Whitmer and founder of the Second Amendment advocacy group 2ANYS Steve Felano. WBFO spoke to all three men by phone Monday.
