Our watchful friend Phil Kerpen brings us news this morning that a Missouri court has crushed down the notion that a state health entity can wield power over a population without a representative body being involved.
The MO Department of Health and Senior Services cannot shut down a school or quash an assembly “based on the unfettered opinion of an unelected official.”
The court goes on to quote Montesquieu and a few other cases.
Most importantly the court lays out precedent now to demolish the roughshod run of local unelected health officials over schools in MO.
You can read the full opinion here:
el gato malo: "Either your rights are inalienable or they are not.
Either they are intrinsic to your personhood and sacrosanct from violation by the state or they are not.
And if they are not, then they are not rights at all. They are merely privileges.
You are not a citizen. You are a subject."
ME: "Great, intelligent, needed ruling in Missouri. Unfortunately, here in Illinois the health department has just been useful idiots to our moronic tyrant governor, Pritzker.
Amen! Now, when does someone go after the national emergency declaration??
