Have you in fact prohibited, via executive order, the act of protesting against your
executive orders?
But the police department in North Carolina’s capital city did not point to
improper social distancing as the reason for their decision to arrest people
yesterday. The police department indicated that you, by executive order, have
prohibited protesting itself.
If that is true, and if authorities are arresting people who protest because you
prohibited protesting, that would be a grave overstep in your authority and would
require immediate judicial intervention.
Can you please clarify whether your executive orders have prohibited the First
Amendment right of North Carolinians to peacefully protest against your
executive orders?
Sincerely,
