Can Tennessee courts lawfully deny relief to press member petitioner where the governor and a local official by executive orders and directives chill and impede petitioner's enjoyment of his constitutionally secured religion, speech and press rights without due process, having based their orders upon the undetermined, unproven claim of disease labeled Covid-19
Question presented Destroying the jurisprudence of equity is contrary to the decision of every court providing equity relief for deprivation of fundamental rights. The deprivation in this case also relies on a state appeals court’s misapplication of a properly stated rule of law for cases having adequate remedy at law for discretionary acts to the present matter without adequate remedy at law for nondiscretionary acts and not enjoying any relief, this challenge requiring review said by the state supreme court in its dismissal order to be not “frivolous.” The question or the court: : Can Tennessee courts lawfully deny relief to press member petitioner where the governor and a local official by executive orders and directives chill and impede petitioner’s enjoyment of his constitutionally secured religion, speech and press rights without due process, having based their orders upon the undetermined, unproven claim of disease labeled Covid-19.
