Nothing says asshole democrat tyrant as much as surrounding yourself with armed guards then cancelling everyone else’s right to their last line of defense.
A warm up for tyranny that was imposed by a republican prez.
Sad part is that we might eventually see a real need for emergency powers but the government will have misused it so much that it won’t fly, costing the lives of people.
Comrades, you will turn in all guns so we have a harmonious society.

I want this to go to the SCOTUS, let them rule on emergency powers.
I would have had my vehicle stolen and could have been seriously injured or killed by a criminal if she were governor here in Texas recently. More details later. This post is to explain why I have posted that she must be tried for treason and adequately punished.
well, some people in some states saw the emergency powers stuff in action. you have an idea of how your state and local govt would act if they were given these powers.
should the governor be trusted with them?
should they be open ended ?
Should the person declaring the emergency use language to describe things as they aren’t
was that day an actual constitutionally protected protest or did everyone in the media all call it a specific something it wasn’t so they could trigger a bunch of trumped up charges
at this point I am not sure I would agree to allow any governor emergency powers.
unless there could be an emergency vote in the legislature, with the people from the governors party excluded from voting.
that is the only way I could see the emergency powers thing working. Maybe not even then
