At his fingertips, DJT has the Interstate Commerce Clause...a favorite of the libs, which allowed them the screw up this country. Think of FDR.
Mark Levin explained this on his show several weeks ago.
They have NO right to stomp out all economic activity in their state, as it has a bearing on other state’s economic activity. And the Constitution states as much.
IF he insists and this goes to SCOTUS, they have two choices, either burn up their own ruling from 80 years ago, or let the people free. There is no other choice.
And I’ll pay money to watch the thing.
But the governors didn't stop all economic activity in their state. They limited it, which each state governor has the ability to do in the event of an emergency.
There is a third option: to one by one rule that the State’s various constitutions themselves do not delegate such a power to them, as Texas’ Constitution offers it no power for a general shut down of businesses.
Is it a contradiction that lovers of general federal power in all circumstances whatsoever could apply the rule of enumerated powers to the States and not to the federal? Yes, but ultimately we should expect nothing else.
