Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire How can this be constitutionally legal,

Look, you can't have situation where country in which individual rights of citizens are not respected (China) save more citizens then a country that does. From PR perspective this looks awful, therefore, when things get tough the tough get going. Let us call this an act of tough love.

I am wondering where 1000 defiant Pentecostals or anyone else could be detained. That's all.This order is pretty much like our mandatory hurricane evacuations which in reality are voluntary. Speaking of hurricanes. With this quarantine going on I wonder what will happen when New Orleans or Miami are ordered to evacuate.

My guns don't spread the virus.

1000 people in a crowded church does.

Yes, the media is guilty of sensationalizing and politicizing this epidemic. Yes, some folks are hysterical. Yes, there are over reaches of power and administrative authority, but that doesn’t make this whole thing a hoax. COVID-19 requires a response. Letting it run it’s course would have been devastating our economy and society. We couldn’t just go about our business stepping over the bodies until we achieved herd immunity.

Our response must come from the institutions and resources we have. Those institutions will be fallible and the resources will be lacking, this is the nature of the beast. Continuously shouting out these short comings from the sidelines, is inane and absurd.

Move the fück on.

I simply responded to your posts which were to me. I've preached smaller government, Constitutionalism and no compromise ever since I've been on this site. Some can say I haven't...but they'd be wrong. Since the COVID thing started a little over two months ago, I've seen some government abuses...but surprisingly, not to the extent I'd have thought. I don't trust the government, but I don't see that they've got much choice here. If this goes on much over another month, they'll have to open stuff up or there will be open rebellion. I don't like my routine interrupted either, but I see little practical or common sense choice. This is the course the President has charted and for now I am still on the Trump train. Do you disagree with him?

Actually the president of the Philippines has ordered that solution. He has also given his citizens the right to kill drug traffickers.

They let the criminals out of prison to make room for these hardened rebels.

Drug dealers, not religious zealots... and it is working...

What about a thief, can you kill one of them? Is it thievery when you keep something that isn't yours?

That chick looks like Kamogari.

Are you ever going to make a post on anything you know anything about? Of your posts I have bothered to read I have yet to see the first indication of rational thought.

I always thought, "or the right of the people peaceably to assemble", was a promised right in the constitution.

Anyone arrested for violating isolation orders will be held without bond

Anyone arrested for violating isolation or quarantine orders issued by the Florida Department of Health will be held without bond, according to the Supreme Court of Florida.

FORT MYERS, Fla. - Anyone arrested for violating isolation or quarantine orders issued by the Florida Department of Health will be held without bond, according to the Supreme Court of Florida.

People arrested will be held without bond pending the first appearance.

Chief Judge Michael T. McHugh signed the directive Friday stating people who are arrested shall not be given a “Notice to Appear” nor will be released pursuant to any local bond schedule.

The 20th Judicial Circuit said the person arrested will appear before the first appearance judge.


At first appearance, the judge may accept testimony from the State Health Officer or Department of Health and make a determination whether setting a bond or bail is appropriate.

This directive will remain in effect until further notice.

Anyone who violates any requirements made by the Department of Health pursuant to a declared public health emergency is committing a second-degree misdemeanor.

Haven’t read this whole thread yet so apologies if already posted here.

Your First Amendment Constitution Right can be infringed, even suspended.- temporarily.

Massachusetts vs Prince. circa 1944ish

Aside:

“Most “ Governorships can declare an Emergency and impose strict limitations on freedoms - unless - the respective State Legislatures have a majority vote to limit those Governors’ powers relative to the Emergency declared.

Imposition of laws that infringe our freedoms isn’t new, being tested for their constitutionality has never been tried. We live with a overpowered government because we haven’t restricted it’s growth due to complacency and ignorance.

Gentlemen, Great posts.

Glad you took it as intended, AS. And yes, thank you, we're holing--and holding-- up just fine. Hope the same is true for you and yours. Earlier today I disregarded a clumsily spray painted sign declaring a park closed. I, Wee Wifey and our pair of labs weren't going to enter the park but rather use its lot to access a trail in a wooded area that runs adjacent to the river. After enjoying the solitude, the couple mile hike and swim that the girls enjoyed (the four legged ones) we climbed back into the car and headed out. A half mile after turning onto the local road I see a town cop heading towards me on the other side of the road. I see her eyes get wide and she slams on the brakes of the SUV and sticks her head out the window with a fat finger pointed at me. I slow down and as we approach each other she shrieks out in a tone that reminded me of Edith Bunker, "THE PARK IS CLOSED! CANT YOU READ ENGLISH?"

Obviously she'd rolled into the lot after we'd set out for our walk and seen that a 'violator' was out there somewhere, but not stuck around long enough to grab me 'in the act'. As luck would have it she recognized my car as it headed towards her after our leaving.

In response to her question, I bellowed back as I drove by her, "Sometimes. Now go fark yourself, lady!" My wife in the passenger seat sunk down and looked at me in abject horror and looked as if she fully expected a high speed chase and shootout to ensue. I laughed heartily.
