[QUOTE="Cataceous, post: 178029, member: 38109"] In the U.S. the constitution is the law of the land. It's been pointed out that there's no "virus exception" clause. The government cannot declare blanket restrictions on the rights of the people. Rather, through due process it must demonstrate that any particular individual poses a threat to the rights of others. There's little ambiguity in something like freedom of movement of individuals. It's trickier with commerce, which the government may reasonably regulate. But it's again questionable that this power to regulate lets the government demand closure of a business, someone's livelihood, without due process. In sum, much of what the government wants us to do is not unreasonable under the circumstances. But their power to enforce it is tenuous, relying more on the threat of what they can do to you in the near term. In the long run the constitution would hopefully prevail in the courts. [/QUOTE]
