Missouri Attorney General Eric Schmitt said he has filed an amicus brief in support of Rae's Café in a lawsuit against Jackson County. The brief, which was filed Tuesday, argues that Rae's Café, now Rae's Private Club, is in compliance with the mask mandate and that Jackson County has violated the owner's due process rights."Jackson County has repeatedly, erroneously, and aggressively attempted to shut down Rae's Café and Rae's Private Club. This is yet another example of government bureaucrats attempting to exert the power that they have obtained, aggregated, and maintained by stoking fear throughout the pandemic. Exerting that power to shut down a private business is especially disturbing," Schmitt said in a news release. The amicus brief makes two arguments: that Rae's Café and Rae’s Private Club are in compliance with the mask mandate, and that Jackson County violated owner Amanda Wholetz's due process rights.
