How do you feel about the erosion of individual liberties? damookster Send a noteboard - 16/04/2020 07:07:55 PM

I cringe when I hear the President say he has all authority to end restrictions nationwide. Although that has produced the amusing side effect of Leftists suddenly advocating for state's rights.

I am also astounded at the extent to which some Governors have gone. Like the idiot Governor of Michigan where stores have sections roped off and cannot sell any item deemed non-essential. You can't buy a child's car seat or garden plants and seeds but you can still buy lottery tickets. You can be cited by the police for travelling to your in-state vacation home or to the home of relatives but it's okay if you cross state lines.

Police in Raleigh, NC arrested peaceful protesters who were picketing against the shelter at home for violating that exact order.

I understand the good of the many argument. Yet I still find it disturbing when this argument trumps Constitutional rights. And wonder if once lost, they will be easy to retrieve.
