TN Facing Lockdown Lawsuits After Emails Exposed
By Dave McGuire, Editor CU(CU) - The irony of the state capital's covid-19 lockdown corruption being leaked on Constitution Day isn't lost on the public.
There was a substantially high number of private business owners in Tennessee already arguing the lockdown restrictions violated constitutional rights. It’s now been revealed our state capital’s mayor and officials have been dishonest with reasons for justifying closures of private businesses. You need a “very, very good reason and justification†for limiting freedom and fundamental liberties, says Noah Feldman, a law professor at Harvard Law School. Doesn’t this discovery throw into question the justifications and cause root decision making of public officials from the governor down to the small-town mayors?
Decisions by Governor Lee, Mayor Cooper and local mayors to place communities in near-lockdowns, as a means of combating COVID-19, have created debates regarding their consistency with the U.S. Constitution or violation of freedoms promised in the Bill of Rights. Stating the obvious, the freedom and constitutionality argument is best made when the information is honest – which is now highly questionable. The number of recalls for governors and mayors around the country continues to grow day-by-day. It’s likely Tennessee will participate in the increase of those numbers after Fox Nashville’s report.
