Guy Hiding In His Basement Calls For National Mask Mandate

Wouldn’t it be great if we had a media which would ask tough questions, such as “under what Constitutional authority would you be able to do this, Joe?”

Biden calls for mask mandates in all 50 states: ‘It’s about saving Americans’ lives’

Joe Biden on Thursday called for a mask mandate that would cover all 50 states, as COVID-19 deaths in the U.S. approach 170,000 and cases continue to rise.

At a campaign event in Wilmington, Del., the presumptive Democratic nominee for president urged governors to be in one accord and require universal use of masks, citing “overwhelming evidence” that wearing a mask helps prevent the spread of the deadly disease. Public health experts are almost unanimous in agreeing that masks help curb the transmission of the coronavirus.

“This is not about Democrat, Republican or independent,” he said. “It’s about saving Americans’ lives. So let’s institute a mask mandate nationwide, starting immediately, and we will save lives.”

At a press briefing a few hours later, President Trump inaccurately described Biden’s proposal as a nationwide mandate imposed by federal decree, in contrast to his own approach of leaving it to the states.

And how would Handsy Joe enforce a national mask mandate? Send in federal police? The Constitution gives the Executive Office no authorization to implement a national mask mandate. Yes, some argue that one would violate the 1st Amendment, but, they’re missing the point that the Constitution, including the Bill Of Rights, gives no power to federal government, including the Legislative Branch (John Yoo and James Phillips make the case that Congress could possibly get away with passing one), no power to have one. That power would be left to the states.

But as the virus shows no signs of slowing down, some officials, such as New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo and Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., have called for a national mask mandate.

The U.S. has the highest number of coronavirus cases in the world, with 5 million positive cases, according to data provided by Johns Hopkins University, and about 166,000 deaths.

“Every single American should be wearing a mask when they’re outside for the next three months at a minimum,” said Biden.

So, if most people are wearing masks, why does the number of cases keep increasing?

Now, what if Trump had instituted a national mask mandate? How do you think Democrats and their pet media would have reacted? Would they say “thank you, good job” or “hell no, Mr. President, you don’t have the authority to do this!!!!!!” And perhaps some “my body my choice” signs, which some anti-mask, and some freedom, people have already brought out.
