The virus gives zero fucks about human freedom, family, tradition, Lincoln, 'murica, the Constitution, etc. Think like an arrogant human all you want, Rep. Baisley, but the virus is just going to continue to win the battle because it's got a single purpose it carries out with stealthy and sometimes lethal efficiency. Wave the flag, trumpet grandma's apple pie, extol virtue and light, and the virus will still infect, replicate, and transmit. Lather, rinse, repeat as the body bags pile up.
Baisley reminds me of that Texan earlier this year; I think it was Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick; who stated it was OK for the elderly and other high risk persons to catch COVID and die so the economy could be reopened (or something like that).
The callousness is truly unfathomable.
I agree with you that the Constitutional issues raised by this letter probably ought to be overridden by common sense.
And I would add that it is fair to put aside the interesting questions of whether the legislator is consistent in his regard for Constitutional rights and governmental policing power no matter whether he agrees with the outcome or not.
But even a cursory reading of history or court decisions dealing with public health contradicts the broad platitudes of the letter.and the cherry picked quotation from Ex Parte Milligan [1866]. Here's hoping he actually knows better than what is shown in this sentimental letter.
I invite Rep. Baisley to " fuck your feelings ".
Nothing says FREEDOM better for a Republican than taking it away from women. What a guy.
Thanksgiving will dwarf Sturgis as a super spreader event by magnitudes if people don't stay safe.
And speaking of the Virus that Dare Not Speak Its Own Name……..
It looks like Andrew Giuliani has tested positive after attending his dad's legendary press conference.

Does anyone know if having your eyes bug out like a meth head on a three-day binge or having watery skid marks roll down the sides of your face while speaking at a presser are symptoms of the virus?

Apparently Chris Holbert is deviating from the party line. The rest of them are still guzzling the Kool-Aid.
Shows how dishonest the pro-lifers like Baisley are when they treat a fertilized egg as sacrosanct but fully developed post-natal humans who might die from Covid are considered to be expendable..

"The Constitution of the United States is a law for rulers"
Got that one wrong! The Constitution does NOT establish "rulers". The Constitution establishes how those who govern do so with the consent of the governed. Polis governs with the consent of the governed. Republicons want to rule, Dems want to govern with the consent of the governed.
I find it interesting that Mr. Baisley is concerned about the right to assemble when it involves Covid protections, but remains unconcerned when our right to peaceably assemble is compromised by the persistent threat of mass shooters armed with military style weapons. Can we be free to peaceably assemble in theaters, schools, churches, or any public gathering as long as we rely on an interpretation of the 2nd amendment that suspends time and takes us back to the founding of this country, and before such weapons even existed? I can forgo one Thanksgiving with family out of Covid concerns, but would prefer to be able to peaceably assemble in the future without having to access where I might take cover if a shooter shows up.
