False premise. The actual question: Do states have the right to financially discriminate against one citizen and/or business over another in an 'emergency'?

Yeah, it is, that's the premise of my argument, I'm not interested in yours. You engaged me, not the other way around.

Your Championing target groups?
Now you just seem disingenuous and ignorant.
Target groups'? That's the damn point, there shouldn't be any groups, equal application of the law.

Anyone or any business deemed 'nonessential'.

Unfortunately there is a long legal precedence set from anything including snow storms, hurricanes, disaster recovery that as nothing to do with Trump. Set and argued long before Trump was president. Past history of who can be on the road. Who can go to work.

Snow storms, hurricanes and other natural disasters are short term and impacts everyone, the government deciding which business or citizen is 'essential' is un-Constitutional in my opinion.
It's still odd that you continue to support the destruction of private businesses in favor of government overreach, you are a major part of the problem.

Which lawsuits should the DOJ actively assign DOJ lawyers, resources, and financial backing without discrimination against those they cannot back.

No, because you think discrimination based on 'essentialness' is Constitutional.
