The federal government can regulate interstate commerce
This is a bad idea. Best if challenging the President to be a stand alone state

Comparatively few west coasters consult Freerepublic. I.e. none of them patronize legitimate news outlets, therefore they are pathologically ignorant of truth.

Otherwise they would do something other than merely move to, change and corrupt, civilized states. If they weren't terminally stupid when it comes to news, they might do something constructive like, change their states.

Time to get recall going against ALL Governors, nation wide, that have decided they are members of a Monarchy.

There is still a constitution no matter how the Left wishes it was gone.

Governors do NOT have unlimited power. They all need to be reminded of that cold hard fact.

Article I, Section 10 of the United States Constitution provides that “No State shall, without the Consent of Congress... enter into any Agreement or Compact with another State.”

Looks pretty ironclad to me

It’s a mutual economic suicide pact, there being no clear standards for quick reopening.

"Kinda hard to cut Washington and Oregon out of the power grid...because of all the hydropower we have. Not to mention the Bonneville Power Administration has it’s main distribution center in Portland."

MOAB the power house. It's easy to see, the target can be lased from the surrounded hills. COW does not have a functional air defense system, and when state governments are in rebellion... It will take a few years to rebuild, but the COW government will have long since been "sterilized".

Option B, nuke Portland from orbit.

Like the Molotov-Ribbentrop pact it’s ruse by California to distract until they’re strong enough to go on the offensive.

"We need to see a decline in the rate of spread of the virus [??? emphasis added] before large-scale reopening,"

Seeing a decline in rate of spread of virus does not necessarily justify large-scale reopening imo.

All that new spreading of virus takes is one contagious, undocumented Democrat.

Insights welcome.

Send "Orange Man Bad" federal and state government Democrats and RINOs home in November!

Supporting PDJT with a new patriot Congress and state government leaders that will promise to fully support his already excellent work for MAGA and stopping COVID-19 will effectively give fast-working Trump a third term in office imo.

MAGA, also KAGA! (Keep America Great Always!)

“There maybe a Constitutional sentence or two on the subject.”

There definitely is. Article I, Section 10, clause 3 Provides:

“No State shall, without the consent of Congress, . . . enter into any Agreement or Compact with another State[.]

“This will be based on SCIENCE (praise science) and DATA and won’t be political AT all!

Therefore our first actions will be to protect illegals and minorities and those of the LGBT persuasion who are affected more by the virus then white people.”

I see a LOT of political and questionable nonsense in that manifesto. You know what I don’t see? What’s the point of cooperating other than to politically entrench the Democrat power base for the upcoming election?

This is borderline sedition.

“There is going to be a rush to re-open soon. By end of April, most states will have been closed 30 days and state/county tax coffers will start to dry up. Then, as budgets are reworked and state/county workers lose planned raises and maybe even furloughed, we will open in a hurry.”

Particularly true because most states have delayed their individual income tax return due dates to July 15 to coincide with the Federal delay.
