Many state governors have tightened restrictions, but California Gov. Gavin Newsom is reportedly thinking about another measure that is sure to fire up a backlash:
So what did Gov. Newsom just do?
– 40/58 CA counties just moved backwards, some fell multiple tiers.
– Every single county in SoCal is now in the most restrictive “purple” tier, including OC & Ventura.
– This closes indoor dining, gyms, etc effective immediately. @FOXLA pic.twitter.com/eWcltowAUO— Bill Melugin (@BillFOXLA) November 16, 2020
First Newsom apparently needs to review curfew studies from certain countries overseas, including… well, see for yourself:
BREAKING: Newsom announces he is also considering implementing statewide CURFEW…Says he is looking at studies from other countries about them including France and Saudi Arabia. Nothing decided yet…but…wow….

Democrat governors appear to be in competition with one another, but Newsom is usually leading the pack on overreach — but Saudi Arabia? Maybe Newsom’s already been inspired:
Let’s do whatever Saudi Arabia does. Oh wait. We already are. No church. No Christmas. No singing. No dancing. Great.

Saudi Arabia is the perfect place to look for guidance on rights and responsibilities. Geez, you'd have thought he would've learned from the ruling last week.

As we’ve seen from Democrat governors getting smacked down by courts in other states, they always come back for more, and then some.
@BillFOXLA I agree wow, but we Californians should take some personal responsibility for how we got to this point

We got to this point by letting these lying bastards scare us into compliance with complete bullshit.

And “parties for me but not for thee” double standards are also ticking off a lot of people.
is he planing on paying my bills for me?

I can say with a good amount of certainty, most police are not going to enforce his illegal curfew.

Newsom cannot do this – the court declared he has no power to do this. DO NOT comply!

Better send in the National Guard for enforcement. I'm sick and tired of this prick and his orders. https://t.co/6zKVmt5jBK

That's lovely. I guess he won't have a curfew if he needs to go to a restaurant for an emergency party.#GovernorNuisance https://t.co/Ew18gRM5N5

Curfew forces everyone to use the same services they usually do in a more compact time frame. It increases traffic density. There is zero benefit https://t.co/laiqTVR5YC

But as we’ve seen, logic doesn’t always apply.
