Federal courts in different states have struck down stay-at-home and lockdown orders by Democrat governors during the past two weeks as "unconstitutional" and/or "overstepping their bounds" and "unlawful, invalid, and unenforceable".
So far, no case has reached any New Mexico federal court.
But, that hasn't stopped the feud that is rapidly building up in New Mexico between the Republican Party and the Democrats who run the state. The New Mexico Republican Party demanded that the state be reopened by 8:00 this morning.
The feud between the New Mexico Senate Republicans and Gov. "Malevolent Michelle" Lujan Grisham has now reached Fox News.
They wrote:
New Mexico Senate Republicans and Democratic Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham exchanged biting words in a pair of letters this week over Republican demands that the governor reopen the entire state by Thursday.
After a Monday letter from most of the GOP members of the state Senate demanding the state reopen, Lujan Grisham responded with a letter of her own Tuesday, obtained by the Las Cruces Sun News, accusing the legislators of an "utter failure and unflinching surrender to the virus ravaging our communities, your communities, and those your represent whether you believe in the danger of this disease or not."
The conflict in the southwestern state comes as legal battles and protests rage in states around the country between those opposed to the economic shutdowns and stay-at-home orders aimed at slowing the spread of the virus and governors intent on keeping them intact for at least the immediate future.Things will probably escalate in the near future before the state gets reopened.

I am always curious what she means when she says she is following science? There is a great deal of science that says we should never have shut down during the summer when people are stronger and healthier. A virus has an unstoppable cycle which now unleashed during the cold months along with flu and pneumonia season is a death sentence in the making.
If the hospitals are so overrun, also knowing we have so few beds per capita, why didn’t she ask for military hospital assistance?
