I’ve been saying this for months that you can’t force people to be locked in their homes without elected officials passing a LAW that says that.
Otherwise you have a Dictator System where “laws” are applied by opinion, political bias or worst, weaponized.
Sadly, America is almost completely Constitutionally illiterate.
All elected officials swear to defend and protect the constitutions of their state and the federal government, yet this last few months showed that none of them have even bothered to read it.
Check out article 8 from the Maryland Declaration of Rights
Article 8 very clearly states that the Governor does not have any authorization to make law. “the legislative, executive and judicial powers of government ought to be forever separate and distinct and no person exercising powers of one of said departments shall assume or discharge the duties of any other.”
Yet, the legislature has been almost completely silent during this entire time and the governor keeps making these edicts and orders that he actually calls Law.
It’s not law but the herd of nine million sheep willingly go along happy as a pig in —— while their actual civil rights are being grossly violated.
The Church is equally complicit.
Article 36 concerns religious freedom “That as it is the duty of every man to worship God in such manner as he thinks most acceptable to Him, all persons are equally entitled to protection in their religious liberty. wherefore, no person ought by any law to be molested in his person or estate, on account of his religious persuasion, or profession, or for his religious practice”
Oh, the all wise and powerful Governor shut down our churches so we’ll blindly follow the government because they know more than us.
Never Again needs to be our battle cry.
“I’ve been saying this for months that you can’t force people to be locked in their homes without elected officials passing a LAW that says that.”
They can’t make such a law anyway. They are to protect liberty and freedom.
