I don’t know that it wasn’t determined to be unconstitutional at the time and it doesn’t appear to be regarded as such today. My concern is that things are far more different today than they were a century ago and because of that and because with modern technology most people are nearly completely distracted (absorbed, if you prefer) by the non-stop breathless reporting on the virus I am very concerned that the “social” and “legal” impacts to our Republic will spiral out of control to a point of no return (at least beyond a peaceful return) before we even realize it. Just looking to generate thoughtful discussion in the current context of things.
Laws concerning quarantines, public movement etc have been on the books in THIS country since its founding.
Oddly enough, nobody was threatening to shoot the county health officer because he did his job.
We haven’t had to USE those laws for about a hundred years now.
We have forgotten.
And turned into a nation of giant infantile narcissists who are willing to shoot health officers, LEOs and anyone else standing in their way in defense of their right to disobey laws that are literally as old as this country.
While the crap in blue states is certainly something to keep an eye on...MOST of what they do is something to keep an eye on. If you’re in a blue state and haven’t moved...obviously you’re OK with all the OTHER rights abuses promulgated therein heretofore.
