Just because something is in a statute or a guideline cooked up by some cubicle-rat bureaucrat does NOT mean it passes constitutional muster. These “stay at home” policies are flatly unconstitutional as orders. They are perfectly acceptable as GUIDELINES. The moment government tries to enforce them through force or penalty they become a gross overreach.

Historically the SCOTUS has only allowed for very narrow and specifically targeted temporary suspensions of constitutional rights (aside from those taken by due process say, for conviction of a crime). These are NOT targeted, NOT specific and left open-ended.

Government has completely overstepped its bounds here and it’s good to see some acknowledgment of that and demands for accountability / changes.

Government should be EDUCATING the populace about why VOLUNTARY cooperation with social distancing measures is smart and appropriate, not demanding it with threats of fines and arrest (and quite plainly weaponizing it to use as a political tool).

This is EXACTLY the kind of overreach and establishment of corrosive precedents the Founding Fathers tried to protect us against - exactly.
