Sheriffs are under no obligation to enforce an unconstitution order. Try again.

No need to try again, you're wrong.

• You have emergency powers acts duly passed by the legislature in 1945 and 1976.
• You have a 105 year old SCOTUS precedent upholding such emergency powers as constitutional, saying that communities have the right to protect themselves against threats such as contagious diseases.

Show me where the courts have ruled this unconstitutional and I'll agree with you. But both history and court precedent are against you.

Now there is an interesting twist in this case, because the 1976 law provided legislative oversight after 28 days, but didn't specifically amend the 1945 act which gave the governor broad powers. A judge has ruled in favor of the governor. We'll see what the appeals court come back with.
