It certainly suppresses the right to assemble which is a founding pillar of this country. I suppose we will see more and more "emergencies." Climate change will be a big one.

Sadly we can declare emergencies to suppress the population over many things we don't really need to. Legal =|=. right.

We'll have to agree to disagree on the need in this particular cases. As I said, I see the argument on both sides of it. But was just pointing out, it's still a valid argument and a discussion that's been going on since ink hit the paper that the Constitution was written on truth be told.

It's why we literally have a whole law profession dedicated specifically to Constitutional law. It's not nearly as black and white as some in this thread want to portray it.
