Is this legal argument actually any good?
It seems like the major claim is that Alameda County's order "overrides an express order of the Governor of California," which doesn't make much sense to me. Newsom's order said that individuals working in critical infrastructure sectors are exempt from staying at home. I don't see how Alameda County saying Tesla must stay closed contradicts Newsom saying Tesla employees could go to work, if their workplace was open. Seems sorta weaksauce to interpret an exemption for individuals from a stay at home order as a order than Tesla must remain open.
Anyway, seems like a mess, will be interesting to see what happens with this.
- pmorici 6y agoThe exemption for individuals is so that they can go to work what good would it be if their work place was closed?
- rrss 6y agoMy thinking is that the exemption allows for counties to have the opportunity to allow those businesses in critical infrastructure sectors to stay open. The order says that employees "may continue their work," and Tesla's lawsuit seems to interpret that to mean that Tesla must stay open. I'm obviously not a lawyer, I'm just interested in if the argument in the complaint is likely to get them anywhere.
