Waiting for the Libertarians among us to chime in...

Since the Libertarians here are a delicate bunch I will do it for them:

Kentucky Republican Sen. Rand Paul appeared to warn President Donald Trump against overreaching on coronavirus restrictions Tuesday, tweeting that “powers not delegated are RESERVED to states & the PEOPLE.”

“The constitution doesn’t allow the federal gov’t to become the ultimate regulator of our lives because they wave a doctor’s note,” Paul said.

“Powers not delegated are RESERVED to states & the PEOPLE. If we dispense with constitutional restraints, we will have more to worry about than a virus.”

“Powers not delegated are RESERVED to states & the PEOPLE. If we dispense with constitutional restraints, we will have more to worry about than a virus.”

Just meaningless words, been ignored all my life by the political/legal experts.

Rights belong only to those that can defend them and only the state can do that whether we like it or not. Having an armed compound does not protect you against a tyrannical state and Waco proved that. Being an isolated prepper doesn't help either, ask Randy Weaver.

How many rallied to help either one of them?

Nor does the Constitution allow for a state government to ignore the BOR. Where's Paul's warning about that?

That leaves us with a non originalist National Emergencies Act that gives 136 emergency powers to the Chief Executive.
