New York Governor Andrew Cuomo has rebuked President Trump's claims that he has blanket authority to order a reopening of the country. In a heated press conference inside the White House on Monday evening, Trump asserted that his office holds 'absolute power' over the shutdowns But Cuomo said later Monday that the last time he checked the US had 'a constitution...not a king'. The governor went on to accuse Trump of an 'abrogation of the Constitution', before threatening the president with a lawsuit should he put New Yorkers at risk. 'The close down was left to the governors to do individually state by state. Now the reopen should be total authority? That makes no sense,' Cuomo said. In a heated press briefing, Trump launched a furious attack on the media and screened a White House-produced video praising his response to the virus.

AHA! Succession.
Now if we can just get Upstate NY and Northern CA to break away from their communists.
By the way he said it makes me think this too. They’ll reopen their states just to defy Trump, when actually they’re playing into his hands. I think Trump is deliberately provoking them to reopen.
Your right about that.
Dick De-wine has no spine.
Ditto, ditto, ditto
The Blue States dont care _ theyll go bankrupt, if necessary, to overwhelm the Federal Govt $$$$$$ to bail them out
Seven Cartridge Cuomo speaks...
Id like to see this go back to the USSC for another look as when the decision that was made to place so much of the nations business under the commerce clause so haphazardly...
Wickard v Filburn.

Because China stopped flights out of Wuhan to other cities in China, but NOT to other cities in the world
AMEN to that! NY and CA, like my state of VA, are held hostage by the influx of non-state residence who move here and become one. 95% living in the big cities and tipping the elections. But for the most, like our nation, everything BUT the coasts and populated areas are solid red as blood, yet the blue cancer’s voice has the numbers they need :(
You don’t say? :(
The CDC shews ALL for death stats.....

You’re right. Apologies, FRiend.
The entire thread angered me and I took it out on you.
It’s a sad state of affairs when we’re discussing when we’ll be able to “act like free citizens” again, IMHO.
“states deciding”
AMEN, one of the great things of this country is letting decisions be made 50 different ways and see what works best as those move forward.
Trump has beautifully trolled Blue State Govs into claiming they hold the authority to re-open their states, which then means they also own the responsibility over when they decided to close their state.
A fact that Trump will gladly remind everyone at the right time.
But we are most fortunate to have a President who takes such powers and authority with a strong sense of moral responsibility and who is loath to use these powers unless absolutely necessary.
I didn’t mean to anger anyone by posting this, but it is an important topic and shines light on the “rats” who hide in the dark doing their dirty work. For one, I’m sick of how the left lies so care-freely. As if it’s how they live and breath and without it would quickly perish. Oh wait! They would!!
South Dakota is running the Swedish model and is pushing HCQ.
Sparse population.
I’ve read that almost half of their cases came from a meat packing company.
We’ll see who that works for Sweden and SD.
President Trump knows the rules and the power and authority that come with the national/state emergency declarations...as Mike Pence stated yesterday - the circumstances endow the President with plenary powers and authority...but he is loath to wield them w/o proper cause because of his own sense of moral responsibility and love of the Constitution...they howled for him to wield the powers of the defense Production Act and now think that they are exempt...
