re: Cuomo: Quarantine would be "a declaration of war on states"

As a generalization neither the federal government nor the States (or local) governments have the ability to stop movement of Americans across State borders, although commerce to a degree can be regulated... no ability exists for the stopping of Americans from moving or engaging of commerce which is not using the public right. Private rights have been reserve.

Individuals can be quarantined if reasonable suspicion that the person could be harmful to the public. Blanket quarantines do not offer due process rights so therefor would be unconstitutional, imo. Furthermore, not even sure where the U.S. is even granted this in any way... the people never gave government this power and for obvious reasons. Tyranny.

What would be the purpose of a more united United States if you have 50+ borders. Either the States or the Federal government setting up State quarantines or lockdowns would make this country a prison and contrary to law and war to me could be easily justified.

The power to do any of this just does not exist and for good reason.

I foresee some urban areas burning soon as the government fails to deliver money and stuff in a timely enough manner. Our taxes are still going to end up paying for cell phones, rent, car notes etc. to help out some of the more financially challenged citizens.

If this keeps up, nobody is going to be paying taxes... the printing press will be used until it all collapses Zimbabwe style.
