Opinions on constitutionality of stay at home orders
Posted on 4/5/20 at 11:30 am

What is your official stance on the below:
1. Are national Quarantines/stay at home orders constitutional? (Yesterday Trump cited the constitution as the reason for not giving a national order)
2. Name your state. Does it go against your state’s constitution to for your governor/mayor to declare a stay at home order?
3. Do you think martial law has to be enacted before a stay at home order can Issued?

I'm not going to help you crowd source your fifty state review of the applicable law.

1. No
2. No because the order is actually not shutting down anything.

When the Governors declared emergency. It gave them powers. Once that document was signed, they have the power.

TN. And we have laws that give the governor power to lock things down in times of emergency

What makes you think the constitution matters anymore and even if it was a blatant violation of the constitution anyone would do anything about it.
You are asking the wrong questions

This is ONLY to get opinions on if our constitution is being violated. I’m not asking what should we do or what is going to be done about it.

We’re misusing “quarantine.”
Quarantine is the isolation of a person known to have been exposed to an infection. I think that’s an important distinction. It’s individually/household applicable.

These lockdowns have been very unconstitutional. That said, it can’t and won’t be challenged.

Absolutely, which is why it won't be done on a National level. It should have been done in the Megalopolis, but that's water under the bridge.

In WI violating a quarantine order is pretty serious and carries heavy fines/jailtime.
Safer at home is not a quarantine however.

So it can be done at a state level but not a national level with out martial law?
What language can you reference that shows this?
(I’m not disagreeing, I just honestly want to know)

The Governors have all balked at declaring martial law. I think that would be the point where they could actively prohibit, with the force of law/deadly force, otherwise presumptively lawful behavior and commerce.
So, we are all begrudgingly, but voluntarily, following these restrictions for which there is no Constitutional authority, IMHO.

These “stay at home orders” should really be called “orders closing non-essential business and a limit on gatherings and a recommendation that people stay home”
The stay at home portion is a recommendation they say you should stay at home not that you are ordered.

Not true. Some states have ordered non essential workers to stay home and gone beyond simply recommending and urging they do. My state took this step Friday with a new executive order.

Actually it does in a declaration of an emergency You guys keep forgetting that those have been declared.
Read paragraph 5
That whole document gives him the authority and the President has said multiple times it’s a states issue.
