I see nothing in this piece that specifically says these shutdowns are legal. Only interpretations and opinions of rulings and parts of the Constitution. I'm interested in opinions on this.

It seems to me that our freedoms were taken away very easily and suddenly, with little resistance from the free people of the USA.

Andrew is not the sole arbiter of the us constitution.

I do not look to him as my reference.

here’s the thing about legalities. Those with the most firepower usually win.

Public health emergencies have been consistently upheld by the Courts. The Constitution is not a suicide pact.

It’s fascinating watching all these liberals suddenly concerned about constitutional rights.
And Cuomo is now taking up states rights.

Too bad they don’t know when to pick their battles.

Judge Munster, I am not interested in your opinion on any subject whatsoever.

So therefore quarantine of NYC metropolitan area is legal.

I heard some news today that Trump mentioned the idea and Cuomo was saying he didn’t think that was legal.

It’s not legal. The govt can’t make decisions for people about work or church. We haven’t lived by the constitution for a long time though. At times yes but whenever the elites want to push it aside they do. We have a facist govt imo. They control everything and we re merely subjects.

There was little resistance by the American people because most of them think that this is a serious health threat that warrants this kind of response. If enough of the American people decided that these actions were unnecessary then you would see more resistance.

If after this is over the American people decide these steps weren’t warranted they will vote these politicians out of office.
