“Where in the Constitution did the people of Wisconsin confer authority on a single, un-elected cabinet secretary to compel almost 6 mil people to stay at home, close their businesses & face imprisonment if they don’t comply… Isn’t it the very definition of tyranny?”
-- Justice Rebecca Bradley
Good gosh, someone in our government who actually questions the tyranny?!
I pray for her health, and I don’t say that in jest. In this country, the wrong opinion is hazardous to your health. Freedom? We’ve surrendered it.
Buyer’s remorse setting in, biggly.
“Buyer’s remorse setting in, biggly.”
Not if it’s like Ohio. My neighbors are singing the praises of their tyrannical overlords DeWine and Acton.
This stuff needs to get to the Supreme Court somehow.
I understand panic. OMG! Worst pandemic ever! Somebody better do something!
But at some point, the danger will recede but people really need to ask themselves about “emergency powers” and “laws” being created out of thin air by governors or bureaucrats. It is tyranny. It’s not how our country is supposed to be managed. And the Supreme Court ought to lay it out — next time something bad happens, you need to handle it differently, because locking up all the law-abiding citizens isn’t cool.
“My neighbors are singing the praises of their tyrannical overlords DeWine and Acton.”
Well-indoctrinated sheeple. They enjoy seeing YOU locked in, many business owners (seen as right wingers) shut down and government money flowing to the masses. Enemies of America.
I'll say this, although it sounds kind of churlish --
My family has been fortunate. Not sick. Still working. I don't need help. We're doing fine at my house and I feel lucky.
But what I see -- as always -- is that I'm now a few more trillion in debt because my money needs to be distributed to the masses. All I ever do is pay. I never get anything from the government.
Yes, I'm lucky. Yes, I feel bad for people who have been hit by this. But I'm stuck in a Marxist Redistribution of Wealth scheme, and I don't like it. My government has locked me up and taken all my money -- because I am a law-abiding, productive citizen. This is not cool, and I'm tired of it.
People still don't get it that masks are if you can NOT maintain 6 ft.. So a barber with a mask and customer with a mask is NOT violating the rules.
In NYS...if they're constructing a public housing project, they keep on going. If it is a private project, it is shut down.
Gonna make bobble heads from these wanna be tyrants (although I don’t know the tendencies of the sign language interpreter)
