It is the job of Congress to enforce the Privileges and Immunities Clause against the states when they violate basic liberties. Not only does this bill not arrest the states from crushing us with covid fascisim, it pumps hundreds of billions into state dep'ts of health /1
These funds will be used for them to ramp up enforcement, testing of flawed tests, monitoring and tracing, abuse of our children in school, and more things we could not even imagine. All with Trump and GOP Senate. Never forget. /2
Alito warned, "we have never before seen restrictions as severe, extensive and prolonged" and that these executive orders have produced "previously unimaginable restrictions on individual liberty." This bill steps on the gas peddle and affirms every one of those infringements /3
This bill is such crap that even Obama could have never envisioned something like this 5 years ago. Yet, Republicans say, "if Dems win we will have socialism." If this is not socialism, I'm not sure what is.
