Thank you for referencing that article week 71. Please note that the following critique is directed at the referenced article and not at you.

FR: Never Accept the Premise of Your Opponent’s Argument

Patriots need to make it a habit that every time that you hear about a federal law or official action, that you take a minute to mentally review the under two pages, including white space, of Congress's very limited Article I, Section 8 constitutional powers, a written drivers test arguably more complicated than Congress's Section 8-limited powers.

“3. The Constitution was written to be understood by the voters [emphasis added]; its words and phrases were used in their normal and ordinary as distinguished from technical meaning; where the intention is clear, there is no room for construction and no excuse for interpolation or addition.” —United States v. Sprague, 1931.

In other words, after giving the referenced article a quicky, I knew in a flash that the states have never expressly conditionally given the feds the specific power to either declare any kind of peacetime emergency, or to dictate INTRAstate healthcare policy, not even to help stop the spread of diseases.

This is because since neither of the words “emergency or healthcare” appear in the Constitution, the 10th Amendment automatically makes them uniquely state power issues.

"10th Amendment: The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution [emphasis added], nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people."
”State inspection laws, health laws, and laws for regulating the internal commerce of a State, and those which respect turnpike roads, ferries, &c. are not within the power granted to Congress [emphases added]” —Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
"They form a portion of that immense mass of legislation, which embrace every thing in the territory of a state not surrendered to the general government. Inspection laws, quarantine laws, and health laws [emphasis added], as well as laws for regulating the internal commerce of a state, and others, which respect roads, fences, &c. are component parts of state legislation, resulting from the residuary powers of state sovereignty. No direct power over these is given to congress, and consequently they remain subject to state legislation, though they may be controlled by congress, when they interfere with their acknowledged powers." —Justice Joseph Story, Article I, Section 10, Clause 2, 1833.
From the congressional record:
”Simply this, that the care of the property, the liberty, and the life of the citizen, under the solemn sanction of an oath imposed by your Constitution, is in the States and not in the federal government [emphases added]. I have sought to effect no change in that respect in the Constitution of the country.” —John Bingham, Congressional. Globe. 1866, page 1292 (see top half of third column)
"From the accepted doctrine that the United States is a government of delegated powers, it follows that those not expressly granted, or reasonably to be implied from such as are conferred, are reserved to the states, or to the people. To forestall any suggestion to the contrary, the Tenth Amendment was adopted. The same proposition, otherwise stated, is that powers not granted are prohibited [emphasis added]." —United States v. Butler, 1936.

In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if regular patriot readers of FR are able to argue the basic points (see above) of a lawsuit against the feds and Big Pharma in favor of the people better than Aaron Siri can.
