re: Opinions on constitutionality of stay at home orders

quote:

---

The Feds have limited powers here. Trumps at mercy of governors opening up economy. National Quarantines are not legal at Federal level but each State has the powers to enact stat at home. The Feds can then back the Governor's by activating National Guard.

No, it’s a power that Louisiana Governor has constitutionally

---

If that were true, Alabama and other states would still have segregation.

Tell me what constitutionally protected rights are being violated. Like I said, you should take it upon yourself to challenge the authoritarian government oppressing you.

---

If they arresting, issuing citations, or threatening under color of law for people moving, perform commerce, or just enjoying the day - as a generalization I would say they are unconstitutional.

Furthermore, say they are doing what Delaware is doing by pulling over out of state drivers and issue 14 day quarantines (or attempting to do)... if they really tried to enforce these.

Lack of due process, unreasonable search, etc. alone with them breaking multiple clauses of the Constitution as to the citizen of having all the same privileges and citizens of other States.

Questions?

Also, Rights in say the Constitution is only some of our Rights... our Rights come from the Creator see Declaration of Independence which is really the forming of the government and often referred to by the Supreme Court.

Life, Liberty and pursuit of happiness as often reference by the SC.

State yes. State is responsible for the health, safety and welfare of the people. That is why this is a state issue and should be state lead. Federal no. That would be unconstitutional which is why Trump has not done it.

---

I would generally, States have limited ability to impact Life, Liberty and pursuit to Happiness... there is some leeway there, however, in most of these cases are not justified and are discrimination in nature, imo and not uniform and in most cases lacks common sense.

Walmart is open, why not every store?

Logic went to the window a long time ago on this stuff.

Put the penalty so high you just plea or pay the fine to get on with your life.

Didn’t realize law enforcement officers were also state legislators, prosecutors, and judges. Learn something new every day

If you can't see the equivalence between your demand someone fight these orders to the SC and what I posted you are rather dense.

When did the government tell you what religion to practice or set a national religion? You don’t understand what freedom of religion is

---

I'm getting the feeling, I arguing with a child. The government is limiting the practice of all religions by restricting people from attending services.

---

You can go shopping you can go in public. You can have family over

Now I know I'm arguing with a child!

The right to assemble, in a peaceful manner, is the 1st fricking Amendment to our constitution. The governor of Alabama said I can have 10 people at my house, but not 11.

Awesome post! Have an upvote! Dullards are still trying to decipher what is concise and to the point, your post is!

restricting people from attending services.

In person. They can also limit when and where you assemble. The rights in the constitution are not absolute nor were they ever intended to be

3. Do you think martial law has to be enacted before a stay at home order can Issued?

---

One man doesnt get to pick the economic winners and losers based on an executive order, in our system of government

quote:

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

Eat my arse.

They don't have any fricking Powers we don't give their asses.

The American ideal was that government derives their powers by the consent of the governed.

They can play around with the wording and legalese within the framework of the law all they want but ultimately the power rests with the people. We can casually disregard them and there is absolutely nothing they can do about it as long as there's enough of us doing it. And THAT's what the Second Amendment is all about and that's why many Founders were suspicious of a standing army.
