Have we witnessed the single largest violation

Yes, but who’s regulating it?

quote:

---

Or do the emergency orders by the governors supersede the individual’s constitutional rights?

---

In this supposed constitutional republic of ours, no.

But people don’t really care for liberty.

Slavery might be bigger, don't ya think?

But, we are definitely getting screwed. My businesses are being hammered through no fault of my own.

Total BS.

Japanese americans have a legitimate claim to that title.

That was at least for legit reasons.

What constitutional rights have been violated? States have police power.

Jim Crow were pretty shitty

Jim Crow was orders or magnitude worse than this. In many towns, law enforcement was actively persecuting citizens.

Boosie, you’re a Lawyer, right? Are the governors orders limiting or prohibiting church and other gatherings a violation of ones constitutional rights? What about banning entry into towns and cities by citizens from
Other states and towns?

Assembly for one, no?

If a hurricane hit and there was a mandatory curfew, is that technically an impediment to your rights? Yes.

If there was a war, and the draft was reinstated and you were forced from your family to fight overseas, are your rights violated? Technically yes.

Is pretrial detainment a restriction of your freedom before a guilty verdict? Yes.

Is a Terry stop a restriction of your liberty to move freely? Yes.

Are regulatory policies a violation of somebody’s ability to conduct business the way they see fit? Yes.

The government has certain powers that supersede your rights. They have these powers to protect the population as a whole. These are not a violation of your constitutional rights just bc you want to do something the government says you can’t because it’s either an emergency or for protection of the people.

Governments can create crimes out of behaviors that you deem acceptable but most do not. Governments can declare states of emergencies and restrict your “freedoms” temporarily and your constitutional rights are not violated. Governments can detain you, arrest you, hold you without bond without a verdict of your peers.

You don’t have the right to spread pandemics bc you want to go to the Crab Shack for lunch. You don’t have the right to violate curfews during emergencies or hoard supplies because you want to, or price gouge to make an extra buck. You don’t have those rights. And your movement can be restricted by both federal and local governments for the greater good. And that means you can’t go to work so be it.

The government - local, state and federal have certain powers over you. This country is not a free for all like some believe.

Well said
