US Supreme Court refuses to lift Wolf’s business-closure order

The U.S. Supreme Court has rejected a challenge of Gov. Tom Wolf’s closure order surrounding non-life-sustaining businesses.

The application for stay was denied by Justice Samuel Alito on Wednesday.

A handful of businesses across Pennsylvania and Friends of Danny Devito, a 27-year-old law clerk from Allegheny County who is running for the 45th District seat in the Pennsylvania General Assembly, had appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court urging a stay against Wolf’s March 19 executive order. The appeal to the high court occurred late last month after the Pennsylvania Supreme Court rejected a similar request April 24.
