Impolite notes that Governor Inslee has no constitutional authority to impose any part of this proclamation's restrictions -- the Washington State legislature never gave him the authority. The Washington State Constitution reacquires the legislature specify an emergency and define in general what power it is delegating to the governor. (Washington State Constitution)
It is possible for the governor to kinda redeem himself by calling the legislature into special session. The legislature could virtually meet via Zoom to handle the problem, if they take their constitutional responsibility seriously.
No doubt that governor will punish restaurants, businesses, churches, and so on with revocations of license to operate or occupy their buildings. These new= acts will be illegal and will garner the state of Washington with more lawsuits (Washington state is being sued for Inslee's clumsy, illegal, 'no-exceptions' free rent edict, among others).
Makes you wonder is Mr Inslee will personally pay for any of his illegal actions.
