Hockey Trumps the Sanctity of Sunday Morning.

       No one is above the law but when you enforce the law, you are.  Governor Hochul has issued an order to the NYS Liquor Authority not to enforce t(e 10AM opening today so people can watch the Olympic hockey gold medal game between the US and Canada. Gin mills can open at 6Am today only.

       That’s innovative and resourceful governing, but it’s interesting a Governor can order a law not be enforced ……By God, the Legislature, in its infinite wisdom, carved out Sundays for a later opening…They did not say, except for when there is a sporting event.

      I’m glad she did it and I will get dressed and go open, in case someone reads this.     

       Her order does not extend to areas of the state under a state of emergency for the coming storm on the coast. 

       Now nobody cares if a half dozen people come in early to watch a game, but the late announcement leaves little time for promotion and what of local police who see a bar serving the devile brew during church time ?   

      From a practicle standpoint the SLA is not going to be out doing anything today, but how binding is an executive order over the power of statute ?  And the SLA could refuse to follow the order, but like I said...Who cares?

Eleven hours
At 6:57 she posted the announcement
How much of a warning do you need?

Honey, Jeffery is still upset at the good news. So I sent him down to the marina to pick himself out a nice sailboat to lift his spirits.

Our corrupt foreign owned Supreme Court ignored the Constitution as they usually do and ruled that Biden had the authority to allocate limited law enforcement resources therefore he could stop enforcing immigration law altogether. That ruling could not be applied here because unlike federal government the state AG does not serve at the will of the governess. However she could issue blanket pardons if the AG decides to enforce the statutes. How confident are you that a corrupt democrat governor would pardon all barkeeps instead of just the democrat barkeeps?

I love the fact that 7:08 had to flee Watertown

Everyone on the planet knew Clarence was corrupted. You are a tad late to the party, 7:19.

He may have left but he’s still in the closet. Complaining about the ones that are out of the closet and show pride in what they are.

Can’t watch a game without drinking. Open the bar, serve breakfast and coffee that’s what’s sad.

Didn't give Catholics enough time to divert to Saturday night mass. His Holiness is not pleased.

I did, and unlike your wife becoming weirdly excited, she vomited - bigly. Next question please. Remember, we are here to help.

I could not watch the game, to busy getting my ID's and pictures together so I had the "papers" to allow me to shovel snow in NYC.
Don't need IOD to vote, but shovel dirty city snow, you bet!!

I’m at loss for words that you found a way to bitch about her decision.
You must have one of those black clouds follow you around that we see depicted in comics and cartoons.
