I know we're not supposed to say it out loud because the virus might be listening but it is actually very very very not-constitutional for the mayor to make having a friend over a crime
You're being daft if you think you can invoke emergency that functionally suspend rights **for months or years** without having to eat the implications later, either in the form of a flood of lawsuits or a shiny new semi-autocracy
The problem isn't strong political tools for emergency response, the problem is the fundamental lack of respect for what they are. It's a big deal to suspend the right to assemble. Announcing at 40 days locked down that you still have no plan except more lockdown is unforgivable.
What we're supposed to be buying ourselves with an emergency toolkit that approaches the power of all-out martial law is the ability to deliver a rapid + flexible **short-term** response at whatever scale/scope makes the most sense. Not indefinite unannounced Martial Law Lite.
Supreme Court disagrees
It’s easy to say something is unconstitutional, and it seems like it would be. Right? But precedent disagrees:https://www.google.com/amp/s/reason.com/2020/02/10/the-coronavirus-and-the-constitution/%3famp …
The 1790s case is interesting, but I think if anyone with skin in the game really thought they could hang a hat on it enforcement would look very different from how it looks now
May be unwise, but quarantine is not unconstitutional. That sort of thing was enforced at gunpoint in the 1790s.
This is *not* a quarantine. We're not prohibited from moving into a "green zone," we're prohibited from leaving our homes or meeting with anyone outside our households I'm no law doctor, but this seems relevant when you're harkening back 230 years to find any precedent at all
The virus heard you and now we have to start quarantine all over again. Just great.
