She is correct. As national martial law has not been imposed, it is up to the governors of each state to respond to the virus as best they see fit, with the support of the Federal government. This is what is actually happening right now - and is why governors’ actions in NV and MI have massively backfired on them, while others are not effected. The Federal government’s job in this crisis, without martial law being declared, is to prevent more of the disease from being imported, to provide resources at the local and state level while using Federal resources to come up with treatments/cures vaccines, and provide support as required and available for the state and local authorities. It is on the states themselves to organize the response in their state and impose such regulations as they see fit. The Feds don’t do that, nor should they.

It appears Ms. Haley is more familiar with the Constitution and the delegation of powers than you are. She is correct on this.

Hold it right there. Since there is no Constitutional basis for martial law, the decision is ALWAYS up to the governors, except, perhaps, where interstate commerce is involved.
