People are getting fed up - from the Wisconsin State Journal:
Conservative justices appear skeptical of 'safer at home' extension
The state Supreme Court’s conservative justices on Tuesday expressed deep skepticism about the authority of a cabinet secretary to extend Gov. Tony Evers’ “safer at home” order for controlling the spread of COVID-19, the disease caused by the new coronavirus.
And the money shot from Justice Rebecca Bradley:
“My question for you is, where in the Constitution did the people of Wisconsin confer authority on a single, unelected cabinet secretary to compel almost 6 million people to stay at home and close their businesses and face imprisonment if they don’t comply, with no input from the Legislature, without the consent of the people?” Bradley asked.
“Isn’t it the very definition of tyranny for one person to order people to be imprisoned for going to work, among other ordinarily lawful activities?”
She has a point. Tip of the hat to Don Surber.
