Am I the only one extremely dissatisfied with this news? Often in the last week, I have heard normies, both liberal and conservative leaning, rejoice at the news that they now have permission to remove their face bras. Where did civics class go? Government class? As I recall, not a single state legislature held a vote to pass such mandates. Therefore they are completely and utterly MOOT. They all granted themselves emergency powers over the sniffy sniffy cough cough with no check or balance to be found. Jay Inslee, for example, has been legislating under emergency powers for over 2 years now with no end in sight.
I also regularly see clips of people and groups of kids protesting saying they want their rights back. What will it take for these people to understand that they were never gone in the first place? The law of the land is written, and is not up for interpretation. The founders understood emergency powers better than most. Look at what a few properly placed sensational lies will do to an ignorant mass of people.
Laws are psychologically complex. On one level it is all just words on paper. Then there is the enforcement of those laws. Then there are the power dynamics of what those enforcement arms have the social approval to do. It’s accurate to say that the cop beating you with a baton has no legal authority to do that, but if he’s doing it, and all his buddies are watching him do it, and everyone else is looking the other way, what does it mean that some piece of paper somewhere says this shouldn’t be happening. And people are aware of that. They sense the civility of modern society is a bit of an illusion and it is still just law of the jungle and might makes right. So they comply.
I agree with you ,, I'm in San Diego ,,, no one ever had the right to control us to the point that they did ( I for one never wore a mask but I did make a laminated medical exempt badge , it worked 80 percent of the time. I will be honest , I pretended I couldn't speak many times as if I was mute and showed the badge. This was the only way I could move around freely for basics ...food et el , I never have or would take the vsx BUT yes , most of the country was screwed. Trying telling the guards at the stores that it's not a law or they couldn't enforce this ,,, u didn't get in ..,if you pushed cops were called , trying telling cops they can't stop you ,,, I'm not so much celebrating but I'm glad the commies are backing down a bit ,, they will be back though ..they know now the masses will obey , I pray more wake up and stand strong with us next time or this country is fked period !
