Where in the Constitution, the ONLY source of legitimate power of the feds, is this power specifically enumerated?

I'd be happy to answer your question the moment you show me where Whitmer, Murphy, Wolf, Cuomo, Garcetti, de Blasio get their power to [...] Show me which part of the constitution says they can become tin pot dictators.

The Constitution limits the states, if at all, only through the Supreme Court's "incorporation" interpretation of the 14th Amendment - but that same Court has never ruled that the Bill of Rights limits state authority to declare a quarantine for public health.

You quarantine the sick and the infected. You don’t quarantine everybody in entire states, with most of them strong and perfectly healthy, and strip everybody of their inalienable God given rights to live as normal human beings, and put a dictator’s boot on their jugular veins.

The 14th Amendment was a Post Civil War Reconstruction Amendment meant to give ex-slaves full citizenship.

That is ALL the ratifiers of the 14th Amendment intended. The Delusion Lying Left has turned the Constitution on it head to make the feds a basic totalitarian power and too many people on the Right and here on FR either don’t get it, are duped by it, don’t care, or some mixture thereof.

The certainly is not the road to recovering America’s greatness. It’s the road to disaster.
