Oh, wow. We really are all the way down that rabbit hole. Unlimited, unchecked power backed by a standing domestic Army. It’s <1776 all over again!
My Governor just declared that social visits are verbottem. As in, you cannot be around with anyone other than members of your immediate household. Indefinitively. Are you also okay with such nonsense?
He’s obviously itching to shoot some dissenting American citizens.
During a national emergency the elected government has effectively unlimited power as it is designed to for the good of the citizenry. The checks on power is the three branches have roles and limits. Nothing being done right now is unconstitutional not even close. The government not only has the power but the DUTY to enforce quarantine during times of medical emergency. The military and every other law enforcement agency in the country also has a duty to the protect the health and safety of every citizen. No where in the constitution does it say you have the right to an economy of your liking there is plenty on preservation of life, and the general welfare as well. Anyone can sue in America the supreme court has upheld medical quarantine in the past and they have upheld the internment at military run camps for American citizens as a Japanese American over 80 about it. The Supremes will certainly uphold even marital law in our current situation which I fully expect we will see before the worst is over.
