I dislike they talk about people's rights as "privileges" though.
It's anyone's right for example to invite people over to their place for a gathering. There is no emergency currently. We're starting to sound like Australia...
I am disgusted by all of this.
Someone who owns a business and actually has some sort of legal injury should try going to IJ https://ij.org/ and see if it would be possible to make a 14th amendment based case in federal court.
IJ has managed to even get certain state licensing schemes nuked in federal court.
Most people would have no standing, but again... someone who has suffered monetary loss, or even better suffered some other sort of legal sanction from the state re: Ige's "emergency" order, might have a chance in federal court.
Probably unlikely though, unfortunately I think this is something the state itself needs to fix, but good luck with that.
There is also the possibility of killing further travel restrictions for people travelling from the US. At some point it just seems like it is side-stepping ones right to travel amongst the 50 states. He's circumventing this by forcing anyone who enters the state to quarantine if they don't do it through safe travels. Ige isn't the federal government, he has no jurisdiction over travel.
Ige's emergency proclamations also aren't akin to a city ordinance or even something passed by the state legislature, there might be something here too.
