Those who believe the Constitution is a black and white set of rules governing everything in our lives have little understanding of our history or the Constitution. Just because the document doesn’t contain a pandemic amendment, does not mean government (which is nothing more than the collective consciousness of the people) cannot respond to a pandemic.

This problem is not well adapted to a simple point counterpoint argument format often used in low IQ media entertainment productions. Real life problem resolution often is a compromise.

Much love to the Guardian for all they do.

That being said, I spoke with a local Senator about this…I’ll redact his name because it is off the record in nature…

Nate,

Yes, things are going well.  I do think that the courts are acting contrary to the constitution.  Let’s visit again.  When would be good?

Hello Senator ____, I hope all is well with you and your family, sir.

A lot has happened in the world since our last correspondence!  

I came across this and, if you have time, I was wondering  if I can hear your thoughts on the Idaho Supremes essentially suspending jury trials because of Covid. (link below)

Wouldn’t the US Constitution Trump such order?  Seems pretty serious to me.

Talk soon.

Nate

And in our next season of Hoax Reality TV, it will be the battle of “Nate vs The Idaho Supreme Court Chief Justice”.

Nate, how about if you personally go to the Twin Falls St. Luke’s hospital and tell ALL those medical care workers (doctors, nurse, admin, EMS, firefighters, etc) THEY are just forcing you to ‘give up freedom and your rights’? Can you tell THEM personally that they are just believing ‘anything’ and they have been fleeced?

And while you are at it, go talk to the patients too- be sure to tell em about your calculation of 99% survivability. I’m sure they’ll appreciate your expert knowledge.

And when someone in TF has a heart- attack and can’t get immediate medical care because their nearby hospital is full– and 1/3 of the existing patients, are there — due to people like you, YOU will be the one to tell them ‘be brave’, right Nate? Be sure to talk with the family members too about your mantra. I’m sure they need the emotional comfort from YOU Nate.

As for court order. I think the speedy jury trial problem can be overcome while preserving rights And being covid safe. Yes the third option Nate. It’s puzzling why the court did this. The entire world is operating remotely on electronics. Why not a jury system too? Maybe decided by an old duffer who refuses to learn computers?

Respectfully,

Driving is not a Constitutional right, isn’t it a privilege, or so they say? And, I’ve heard this argument before, and I think it is lacking in proper parallels. As a matter of fact, I believe the driving rules to be fairly adequate as most people do.

That being said,

Car Crashes aren’t being used as a predicate to “lockdown” major swaths of our civilization.
Car Crashes are not being used to unconstitutionally remove peoples rights to assemble, at church, or otherwise…
Car Crashes are not being used to “suspend” trial by jury. (I will be reaching out to some state reps)
Car Crashes are not being used to create many trillions of dollars to bailout mostly big biz/gov. and to give a small payoff as a penance to the small guy who’s job was just destroyed.

Have you not seen what’s been going on in the rest of the world? The governments of Australia, England, Italy, and many other are imposing these draconian lockdowns and forcibly putting masks on people? It is inherently wrong for a government to do this.

Some in this country are trying to cancel our most cherished holidays. Tell us how many family members we are allowed to be in the same room with. There has been a call to ban “dirty virus spreading” cash and to push us into digital currencies that are easier to manipulate. Theres been talks of forcibly vaccinating people. All the while, the fabric of our society is being destroyed.

Physical social interactions are an important part of humanity. Propaganda has completely scared people into thinking they’re going to die, or if they don’t follow “proper protocols” (that are a false sense of security), they will kill someone unknowingly. And here comes the government, reliably keeping people safe for 1000’s of years. The Constitution put handcuffs on government for a reason.

And anyone who independently looks at the data and digs through info and history, and questions the narrative… why they are dismissed as subhuman with no love for others, by those who have been told what to say and blindly do, by celebrities and pop stars.. Pretty clever really.

Why can’t we question this, which is so obviously created by those with $ who want more power, to further an end that to them might justify the means.

On a final note. Question everything. Do your own research. Don’t let your belief system blind you.
(I promise to follow all of these rules as well)

No more “Be Safe”… Time to speak out and “Be brave” –N

Nate is right that some people will believe anything, and once they believe something, it’s tough for them to question themselves. But, with all due respect, he might try looking in the mirror on that one.
