March 25, 2020 - There was a good reason why our American ancestors failed to include an emergency exception in the Bill of Rights. It was because they knew that throughout history emergencies have been the time-honored way by which people lose their liberty.

March 24, 2020 - Do we really think it can’t happen here in Amerika? Could we quarantine the Constitution? Are we doing it already?

Panics from pandemics unleash unchecked governmental power. The very premise of popular films like V for Vendetta reveal this: a group uses a virus to seize power and create a totalitarian society. Anyone could witness this from far-off lands, watching the news about China locking people up in their own homes and then removing them screaming from those homes whenever the State wanted. World War I and the Great Depression birthed virulent forms of governments with leaders like Hitler, Mao, Mussolini and Stalin.

STANFORD, Kalifornia (PNN) - March 23, 2020 - In an analysis published Tuesday, Stanford’s John P.A. Ioannidis - co-director of the university’s Meta-Research Innovation Center and professor of medicine, biomedical data science, statistics, and epidemiology and population health - suggests that the response to the coronavirus pandemic may be “a fiasco in the making” because we are making seismic decisions based on “utterly unreliable” data. The data we do have, Ioannidis explains, indicate that we are likely severely overreacting.

WASHINGTON (PNN) - March 22, 2020 - Fear of coronavirus, or the use of such fear being present among the people to justify expanding control, is driving decisions in much of Amerikan local, state, and national governments.

Mass panic is also here. Fear.

“The Constitution of the United States is a law for rulers and people, equally in war and in peace, and covers with the shield of its protection all classes of men, at all times and under all circumstances.” - Ex parte Milligan, U.S. Supreme Court (1866)

March 19, 2020 - During the Civil War, when President Abraham Lincoln thought it expedient to silence those in the northern states who challenged his wartime decisions by incarcerating them in military prisons in the name of public safety, he was rebuked by a unanimous Supreme Court. The essence of the rebuke is that no matter the state of difficulties - whether war or pestilence - the Constitution protects our natural rights, and its provisions are to be upheld when they pinch as well as when they comfort.

This basic principle of Amerikan law - that our rights can only be interfered with by means of due process - is being put to a severe test today in most Amerikan states.

March 18, 2020 - Please forgive what may appear as fatalistic to some. It is quite the opposite. Fatalism would be the belief that all events are predetermined and therefore inevitable. No events are predetermined as far as I can tell. Free will is everywhere.

Humans tend to be imperfect. To date I’ve yet to meet a perfect human. The better I know a person, the more flawed I realize he or she is. Which is okay.

What is not okay is putting so much power in the hands of someone so flawed.
