The revolt by a dozen or more Pennsylvania counties who are opening up their businesses against the dictatorial edicts of Democrat Governor Tom Wolf has apparently thrown him into a blind rage, which was further exacerbated by a Tweet from President Trump in support of Pennsylvania patriots and a news conference by State Senator and gubernatorial aspirant Doug Mastriano, in which he called for the resignation of the incompetent Health Secretary Rachel Levine.
Wolf attacked business owners who reopen from coronavirus shutdowns before they are allowed and the politicians who have encouraged them, calling them “cowardly”, threatening serious consequences to both groups.

A very good question.
Yes and no.
Governors have been given a lot of power by their states, and since these powers have been used relatively rarely, they haven't been abused enough to be litigated. And, no, we aren't free--just semi-free. Various officials, including police, can abuse the hell out of you and claim "qualified immunity" because they are in a public position. They can't just shoot you (because of cameras), but they can physically and legally abuse you, and getting redress requires a long and expensive appeal process.
You vill obey or it’s into the cooler mit you.
It’s only a matter of time before one of these tyrant Democrat governors finds out that their armed guards and police force are no longer willing to protect them.

Post 3- That should be a sobering explanation of reality.
Musk defied today and said if anyone is to be arrested then arrest me.
Dems are on the losing side and have overplayed their hand again just like occupy, hands up don’t shoot etc
Franklin County is the most westward of the "red zone" counties along the Maryland border.
This is about control, not medicine.
Yes, we are free; no one has disallowed our Constitutions.
What I think is happening is we are allowing ourselves to be bullied.
I just saw an article this morning about this very topic -- the USSC is going to be taking up a bunch of cases dealing with it.
You’re right - they can - but pull that happy crap with the wrong person, the wrong patient person, and it’s like playing Russian roulette. Not a wise choice.
Ok there are less than 4000 covid deaths. More than 2/3 are from nursing home residents.
So, if you don’t reside in a nursing home you have a less than .008 % chance of dying of covid in Pa.
I would not take that bet. Armed guards are mercenaries and will protect who pays them. The cops chose sides a long time ago, and it ain't our side.
REMINISCENT OF THE TOWNS PEOPLE TRASHING THE GOVERNORS MANSION DURING THE REVOLUTION
President Trump needs to tell Wolf that he (Trump) controls federal funds.
I predict this turns out bad for Wolf on the local and federal level
