The supreme court denied the high-profile mandamus petition in In re: Salon a la Mode, noting: “The relators’ claims, raised in an original action in this Court, should first be presented to the appropriate district court.” A concurrence by Justice Blacklock, joined by Justices Guzman, Boyd, and Devine, reminded: “At the same time, all of us—the judiciary, the other branches of government, and our fellow citizens—must insist that every action our governments take complies with the Constitution, especially now. If we tolerate unconstitutional government orders during an emergency, whether out of expediency or fear, we abandon the Constitution at the moment we need it most.”
