The Dallas mom who opened her salon so she could feed her children was freed from prison by the Texas Supreme Court on Thursday. They granted a motion to release Shelley Luther who was fined and put in prison for a week by a leftist judge with a nasty history.
She followed social distancing guidelines but needed money.
The order came soon after Gov. Greg Abbott announced he was modifying his recent executive orders related to the coronavirus pandemic to eliminate jail time for Texans who violate them.
The move by Abbott is to protect Ms. Luther and any other Texans like her from judges who abuse their authority. Judge Moye ordered Ms. Luther to apologize and say she was “selfish.” She explained that it’s not selfish. She needed money to feed her kids.
“Throwing Texans in jail who have had their businesses shut down through no fault of their own is nonsensical, and I will not allow it to happen,” Abbott said in a statement, adding that his order is retroactive to April 2 and supersedes local directives. “As some county judges advocate for releasing hardened criminals from jail to prevent the spread of COVID-19, it is absurd to have these business owners take their place.”
Abbott in his statement also mentioned that his modifications “may also ensure” that others in similar cases “should not be subject to confinement.” Abbott referenced Ana Isabel Castro-Garcia and Brenda Stephanie Mata, who last month were arrested and charged with violating the community’s emergency management plan, according to the Laredo Morning Times.
The Laredo Police Department said it would respond to Abbott’s announcement soon, while a spokesperson for Dallas County was not immediately available for comment.
Watch this clip from Tucker Carlson’s show last night. The judge is a complete jerk.

Allow any and all businesses to open if they choose to do so. Closing them in the first place made absolutely no sense. If an employee chooses not to work for some false safety, then it’s on them. If one chooses not to patronize a business, that is their right.
What Trump did was the right thing in setting guidelines. And I have to agree with canceling mass gatherings like sports and concerts. But destroying people’s livelihoods is overreach. We have Constitutional rights that no government official has any authority to deny. We’re adults and need to do what’s right for ourselves whether some politician likes it or not. Our rights were not granted by these politicians but rather our Constitution. If they can be taken away, even temporary, our rights are not rights at all but instead they are privileges which, once politicians learn we will allow it temporarily, they will be taken away permanently.
This judge is a liberal goon. Would be voted OUT, except for his color. The people who vote him in FOR his color are idiots. It’s unfortunate they don’t look at his policies, rather than his skin.
In Texas, we ELECT our judges, and can unselect them, too. Ya’ reckon he will be Unelected next time – looking at his picture? Nope. He’s probably in what would be called a ‘safe’ district in urban Dallas.
Good luck people, with such idiots having control over your lives…….
We have the same elected Judge system. Well, guess what. I don’t believe a single Judge has ever been removed by such means, no matter the circumstance. They have all been retained by high margins. Too often elections are just rubber-stamps for the status quo.
Is This the next step in the overreaching government. I’m none too confident with all this contact tracing. If there is ANY way for it to be abused It WILL be. “One bathroom”? How Stupid IS this? What the hell, are those people Living solely in the bathroom? Stupidity is far more prevalent And contagious than Covid.
