The clash is inevitable between Trump and power tripping libtard states, bet.
Looks like the leftists are going to be hoisted on their own over-expanded Commerce Clause petard.
Not to quibble, but the 10th Amendment doesn't identify "specific powers". It's intended to be broad and general -- states can do what they want unless the Constitution specifically forbids it.
Trump can use the National Defense Production Act to rule that businesses are essential to the national defense and order them to reopen.
You can construct an argument for nearly ANY business being essential.
Delicious irony as it was Democrats who pushed him to invoke the NDPA in the first place.
Suck it, Dems.
From your link....
A second task force, this one to focus on re-opening the economy, “is set to be formally introduced Tuesday” and chaired by White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows, Fox News reported Monday.
The task force, according to sources, will also include members of President Trump’s Cabinet, including:
Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin, Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross, Agriculture Secretary Sonny Purdue, Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao, Energy Secretary Dan Brouillette, Labor Secretary Gene Scalia, Housing and Urban Development Secretary Ben Carson, U.S. Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer, and acting director of the Office of Management and Budget Russ Vought.
The task force is also expected to include acting chair of the Council of Economic Advisors Tom Philipson and White House advisers Larry Kudlow, Peter Navarro, Chris Liddell, Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump.
deny any relief to any state that refuses to follow orders. TADA! they fall in line
ROFL
Is the headline click-bait?
Anybody who listens to PDJT with just a bit of curiosity does not take the literal meaning of a small snip of words. He is saying that emergency orders are not the province of the CDC or the doctors on the task force.
The smartest approach Trump could take would be to encourage the “reopening” decisions to be made at the state and local level. The issues, risks and challenges facing Queens, New York, and Vernal, Utah, aren’t identical and shouldn’t be treated as such.
So they are rediscovering the 10th Amendment?
States that don’t open will die.
Don’t mess with Texas. You’ll wind up with a busted nose, Mr President.
And he better do it before the Rat Governors do. These friggin rats once they realize they cant tank the economy with the fudging of the numbers and their lockdown policies, they will switch in a matter of an afternoon and start taking credit for their State’s recoveries... smmfh...
He didn’t shut them down. How can he be the only one who can open them?
Trump, or any other president, cannot order a state to undeclare an emergency. He can, however, declare from the fed level that the emergency is over, and turn off the money spigot...
Not based on the structure of Emergency Management as it’s defined.
But whatever. No one has been really interested in this is all “supposed” to work since the beginning.
So, everyone just do what you want. Lol.
Then a months long battle in the Federal courts will ensue...meaning that in some states at least it will be Governors who determine how things play out.
Well, that’s one way to get the States to start re-opening their accompany. Trumps says this and everyone of the Dem governors will say. “Trump can’t stop me. Watch—Everyone go back to work! Trumps trying to be a dictator!”
I can't believe the MSM has just rediscovered the Constitution and are quoting the 10th Amendment. Good! More 3D chess.
Not when he’s not the one that shut it down.
