A state representative in Colorado is reminding Americans that no lawmaker has the “constitutional authority” to impose restrictions on you in your own home on Thanksgiving.
In a letter to his constituents in House District 39, Republican lawmaker Mark Baisley encouraged people to continue their Thanksgiving gatherings just as they would normally.
This, despite current COVID restrictions and warnings being issued by several Democrat politicians.
“It is important for Americans to realize that, in spite of their good intentions, neither a governor, a president-elect nor I as your state representative have the constitutional authority to restrict the number of family members who gather in your home,” Baisley wrote.
He goes on to remind constituents that the nation has faced other epidemics without abandoning our freedoms.
“You have a constitutionally guaranteed right of free assembly and association, specifically protected in the first amendment,” he wrote later adding, “the constitution is not suspended because of a pandemic.”

Get a job.
Ha!

The only thing I really disagree with in his statement is the idea of “good intentions”. He is being naive.
Or just pimp it elsewhere, either one.
These guys are the same guys who tell us that a woman’s constitutional right of privacy mandates partial birth abortion. Apparently though you can’t have a gathering in your own home.
