“Let me start with my starting premise and that is there was a very specific reason why we shut down our economy,” Toomey told Breitbart News on Friday. “Think about how drastic and draconian a step that was. It was completely unprecedented in American history to just forbid economic activity. We did it for one reason. That was to slow down the rate of the transmission of the virus, not to stop it altogether—nobody thought that was possible, ...

Mr. Toomey is an unprincipled RINO that readily tramples the US Constitution. He should not be able to have it both ways - support the shutdown and then when convenient call for the end of the shutdown.

There is a reason to not even entertain the idea of shuttering the economy, people's businesses and people's lives: it is blatantly unconstitutional. In fact, Congress is given the power to regulate commerce between the states in the constitution. The word 'regulate' meant to make regular, as in normal, at the time of the writing. Toomey and his cohorts in Congress have abdicated their power to make commerce normal during this whole hoax.

Toomey is the same asswipe that called for gun control after Sandy Hook - background checks, gun safety and red flag laws. He never stood for a constitutional principle in his life. He is a RINO thru and thru.

I hate RINOs more than Rats. Getting off soap box.

Toomey, a widely respected Republican

Maybe by the msm and dems, but certainly not by me.

Toomey takes his marching orders from Tom Donohue and the Chamber of Commerce. He’d never arrive at this position independently.

Trump is playing this brilliantly.....give Dem governors the rope to hang themselves with.....and then, at the appropriate time, have some local GOP surrogate act as the hangman, while keeping his own hands clean

I wonder if Toomey would support tort reform as well as liability protection?

For the first time in at least a decade Toomey says something that I agree with.

Mike Rowe Is Right: There’s “No Such Thing” as a Non-Essential Worker All too often, what is deemed “essential” is simply what’s convenient to state leaders making the decisions.
