All I'm saying is that these cases aren't as simple as yelling the word "Constitution" and storming the capital. There are precedents and limits to all rights, and most if not all end where your right to exercise them becomes a danger to someone else's life or liberty. I've given examples in other threads. You can't threaten to kill the president. I can't tell a guy that I'm going to curb stomp him for parking on the street in front of my house. You can't assemble in front of a hospital entrance in a way that prevents emergency patients from receiving care. You can't use language meant to incite a riot. This is not a liberal/conservative argument. Antonin Scalia himself acknowledged limits to the second amendment of all things.
I think that there's a case for that here, obviously. The governors have powers when emergencies are declared. They are written for anyone that cares to read them to see. People that disagree can make their argument. That's why the courts are there. In the end, I think their cases will be nothing more than a persistent annoyance to the governors, unless people just want to pretend the virus never happened and was a hoax.
Listen I know you have rights but if a cop pulls you over, treats you poorly, seems to be denying you your rights just do what they say and then it will all work it out in court. Don't speak out or fight back...just do what you are told until the courts handle it. Don't be fighting the law.
Wait...wrong thread.
Your anger and ego will always reveal your true self.
