The most disappointing part of our democratic republic has been the silence of the judicial branch during this period. Knowing that many of the edicts being put forth by state and local governments are unconstitutional, this branch of government has failed along with the others. It is just another political body and no longer a check against the other branches.

What truly amazes me is how much power these unelected experts are weilding. And to the extent there is a political check on them, it's the supervisors. I don't know about you guys, but I've never voted on a supervisor in recent memory, let alone gone out and researched what their potential positions might be on shutdowns when faced with an emergency. At the minimum, for all Newsom's faults, I voted for governor and can hold him accountable for the decisions and generally know where he stands by way of partisan politics, but until all this started I paid more attention to our local council than the supervisors.
The Libertarian side of me says when in doubt enforce the rights the constitution guarantees. If a judge even loosely enforces these rights then much of what is being done in this pandemic should be overturned. The issue is mandates are being enacted by the governor everyday. Lawsuits take time and money and without a judiciary willing to stand up for the people and their rights allows this nonsense to continue.Maybe
Judge says no to letting San Diego County restaurants, gyms reopen indoors amid rise in coronavirus cases
Local businesses had filed suit seeking a temporary restraining order that would have overturned county and state orders that restaurants and gyms be limited to outdoor-only operations
But then again there is this.
Judge overrules county, allows strip clubs to reopen
Coronavirus cases and hospitalizations continue to increase in San Diego
In fairness, the case has to be brought to the judges and maybe the attorneys' aren't making the right arguments. How my daughter's dance studio gets closed down but strip clubs can stay open is proof that this is all a charade.
I bet most miss any reference to that book. Great book
I’m guessing it depends on how soon teachers get vaccinated. Maybe mid-March, early April if they vaccinate the teachers?
So the virus is more communicable indoors, so they want to ban all outdoor gatherings so everyone has to shelter indoors. Got it!

I am going to have to try that type of social distancing.Another possible explanation for why masks aren't helping countries/state very much to bend curves.....
Dr. Mike is called out for hypocrisy after he's seen partying maskless
The 31-year-old flew from New York City to Miami to celebrate his birthday on November 12. He's seen on a boat in Sunset Harbor surrounded by 14 other people - most of them bikini-clad women.www.dailymail.co.uk
This state and much of this country is run by a extremely political band of misfits who don’t believe in the constitution. Can’t think of any scientific or data driven reasons.
