No one is complaining about the first amendment? I thought this was supposed to be the land of the free?
We’re no longer brave enough to be free.
Nobody.
Pretty much the same list of states that went for Hillary in 2016.
We aren’t locked down.
We are giving them the benefit of the doubt and the probably ends around Easter...
The numbers ain’t jiving and it’s starting to feel like we are being jived...
But I can post on blogs....

I don’t seem to have any restrictions on my movements as a matter of practice.
I’ll likely be taking a 1200 mi. trip soon.
I think it will be no problem.
It is merely a suggestion.
Reading comprehension is hard.
Going to get food, gas, nails, beer its all good.
Just don’t let them catch you going to the river to fish.
What do you mean we are not locked down? You can’t go to a brewery and have a beer and hang out? How about going to a mass at church? Or going to a political rally?
and 14th amendment
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.Has Congress made any laws abridging your right to assemble? Take it up with your governor.
Well, there’s that.
The whole thing is confusing and I’m tired of being cooped up
As an Uber driver, I’m not locked down. But when I go out, I find fewer and fewer places that are open. The largely empty streets and parking lots remind me of driving on Christmas night, only I did more rides and made more money at Christmas.
Yup,this will turn out to be a crisis that was not let to go to waste and it was a liberal nuke.
The deaths per day numbers supposedly won't start declining until about 15 or 20 days after the mitigation started.
And the new cases per day number is unreliable because of the large increases in the availability of the tests.
So we have no numbers to "jive".
Business insider: More than half of all Americans have been ordered to stay at home. This map shows which cities and states are under lockdown.
(warning!) Al Jazerra (warning!): Lockdowns, closures: How is each US state handling coronavirus?
Independent UK: Coronavirus: Three graphics that show how US states are locking down
The 23 states with stay-at-home orders are: California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Hawaii, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, Montana, New York, Ohio, Oregon, Vermont, Washington, West Virginia, and Wisconsin.
Stop touching your face.
That’s what it reminds me of, too.
Like Christmas or Thanksgiving Eve minus the good cheer.
Ugh.
You’re off half a plumb
Most of the delineated rights in the first 10 amendments have exceptions. The most common example, shouting fire in a crowd, when there is no fire because people may get trampled to death.
Recently the president declared an emergency on illegal immigration. Another example of extra-ordinary power, which the congress failed to override.
If every day a newspaper printed a list of people who should be murdered , pretty sure that old freedom of the press would not be in play.
Here are other examples for governors and what you are railing against now.
What you are railing against is governors have those emergency power authorities and they may not always jive with rights.
I give you an A for effort and a D- on the law.
