“It was a phenomenal ruling,” Ingraham said. “We’ve been telling you this for months. Our constitutional rights may not be indefinitely abridged by executive fiat, period.”

On “The Ingraham Angle,” Ingraham said that in contrast to states like Pennsylvania, New York and California, states such as South Dakota have balked at forcing their economies to shut down, even partially.

“They have done that because the societal cost to daily life — to everything about the lives we lead — is just too high,” Ingraham said.

“First, lockdowns don’t work. Just look at the number of cases rising in Europe if you think they do work. Second, the damage that they cause is catastrophic to our economy, our children’s education … mental health and our safety.”

 

Ingraham also pointed out that Judge Stickman issued a “stinging” rebuke by ruling that a response to an emergency or a pandemic cannot undermine the system of checks and balances.
