An interesting segment on the fox network’s Tucker Carlson show aired last week about America being taken over by totalitarianism as a result of the coronavirus spreading throughout the US.
Tucker Carlson through his various guests pointed out that the American governors of the various states have arrogated totalitarian rights to make the people of their states subservient to the directives of the governors’ offices.
Let’s take a look at a partial recording or airing of this segment.
My reaction is to concur with Tucker. Nowhere in the Constitution does it say that the states or the federal government has a right to take the country albeit on an emergency basis into the state’s totalitarian behavior.
So the question is: in the face of an emergency - and it’s debatable whether the coronavirus presents an emergency - does the government and the various states have the right to accrue to themselves the powers to control the citizenry, close businesses, close parks, self quarantine at home, and basically make people inactive or to make them do anything that the governor’s office deems they should do?
