It's a good thing Christie ain't still the governor of NJ. (He COULDN'T physically get six feet away from anyone!)

Masterclass by Tucker exposing this asshole....
every true patriot in Jersey should descend on Trenton tomorrrow....
This is must see TV. Look who gave the okay to have the fascist Governor shut down the churches. Cardinal Tobin! It keeps getting better and better. We need to clean the rats out in government and in our churches.
Above his pay grade? He’s the f’n governor...
How great was it when Tucker said he hoped the Governor wasn’t keeping “essential” liquor stores open for the tax revenue.
It was BEAUTIFUL! That guy didn’t stand a snowball’s chance in hell, yet he just kept talking, believing in his own mind that he was justifying his actions. Tucker drew and quartered him in front of the viewing audience. Just like it SHOULD be when these a$$clowns decide they know what we need.
What’s really scary is that neither he nor Tucker understand what he’s doing.
The Declaration of Independence says we have unalienable rights “among which are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness”, and goes on to say that “to secure these rights governments are instituted among men.”
The First Amendment covers freedom or religion and of assembly.
The Tenth Amendment states “The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.”
So maybe a State government does have power to temporarily restrict religious expression or assembly of other types when the rights to those things come in conflict with the right to life and possibly the pursuit of happiness during a lethal contagion.
Maybe.
When rights come into conflict we normally settle the issue through legislation and the courts and sometimes voting. I don’t know what laws and decisions have been made in regard to all this in any particular state but they may be inadequate, both to protect the people from lethal contagion and to protect the people from abuse of the state power.
If enough people sufficiently oppose how legislation and the courts settle any conflict of rights, the Tenth Amendment does say “or to the people” and the people have most of the guns.
Do you find it odd to the extreme that we have had precisely NO news re: mosques?
Are Moslems allowed to attend prayer services?
It appears that they are.
In the absence of information I will probably correctly guess that thy not only are allowed, but it is protected.
No mention AT ALL!
Because he has - he has praised all of these governors - and Freepers are strangely silent.
Hypocrisy much?
🙃
FWIW...Newsome has praised Trump a LOT more than Trump has praised Newsome. (You can do a simple search.)
In fact....Trump praised Newsome for praising Trump...lol!
The President is likely praising Govs, right now, until they meet and a "Open America" roll out plan is decided on. It's called Art of the Deal/Keep your enemies closer.
No...no hypocrisy, here, Mr Perfect.
My goodness impossible to watch that and not think those petty tyrants should not be killed let the civil war begin
I enjoy Tucker Carlson because he asks intelligent questions. He is calm and always polite and usually gets in a few zingers. I think he is very disarming and let’s guests like Gov. Phil Murphy talk and they often reveal lots more than they intend.
At the very least, the position of these governors violates not only our Constitution, it conflicts directly and completely with the most basic principle of our Republic and of the Founders -- the thing they feared most of all -- consolidation of power into one person or into one branch of the government. Think about this: These governors, each one unto himself, has more unchecked power and authority over United States citizens residing in their state than the President, the Speaker of the House, the leader of the U.S. Senate and any U.S. Supreme Court justice combined!
How these state tyrants will be moved to respect our founding principles and compelled to bring their ever-expanding authoritative actions into alignment with the liberties protected under the U.S. Constitution and our Bill of Rights is a mystery to me. But one thing is certain: If this situation isn't addressed quickly -- the Chinese Flu be damned -- America, our beloved Republic that was the envy of the world just one month ago, will dissolve into chaos and into the naked hell of totalitarianism very quickly. This situation with the governors is accelerating to a point of no return; and today this is a wake-up call to citizens and to our President and Commander-in-Chief.
May God Save America.
We simply must face the fact that a significant number of those governors who despite hard data which show the Chinese Flu is not the horror the "experts" predicted it would be (by several orders of magnitude, in fact), the majority of who are Democrats/Leftists, have absolutely no intention of restoring Constitutionally-protected liberties to the citizens of their states any time soon.
Do you find it odd to the extreme that we have had precisely NO news re: mosques? Are Moslems allowed to attend prayer services?
It was fun to watch, but sad at the same time.
A sitting governor of an American state cannot be that stupid, and had to know Carlson would grill him - and all he could come up with was the Bill of Rights was above his paygrade?
When Murphy listed the businesses that would remain open during the lockdown (at the start of it), pot dispensaries were second or third - in a list of over 20.
Bizarre.
NJ already had a problem with the flight of wealth, good jobs, and American citizens; this will make recovery impossible. Any recovery happening across the fruited plains under Trump never took hold here in NJ or neighboring NY; the local and state governments ensured it couldn’t.
