Ahh my bad I thought you were referring to Michigan case.. Anyway this was individual per Governor order, this was not a country wide attack on Constitutional rights. I specifically said that the order to ban indoor outright without having capacity % or social distancing was over reaching anyway. SO I agreed with you. But for dementia generals to claim there is some attack on the Constitution under Biden is bullshit because you are citing a case under TRUMP and it was a specific governor, not the federal government. So my original point still stands. the generals are just rambling on with bullshit. China was a problem before Trump took office and nothing has changed. In fact, to get back at China, trumptard taxed Americans and claimed China was paying for it... just like he claimed Mexico paid for the wall. Only idiots fell for that and apparently those generals did too... sad when the mind goes.
While I agree the Federal Govt did not promulgate a nation wideover reach... I think it was precisely because Trump was in control of the executive Branch and not Biden.. Imagine now long we would have had to endure Biden's fears. He might have tried to send Troops into Texas and Florida to enforce his decrees. Many of the states and particularly many Governors shat all over our constitutional rights. They took away our feedoms regardless of what the data was showing. . CA and Michigan were just 2 examples offenders.
Hopefully you remember that at the time of the Civil War...most of the U.S. military generals had graduated from places like West Point Military Academy. For example, General Lee and General Grant were both West Point Graduates although General Lee attended West Point many years prior to General Grant. It was almost an even split the number of West Point Graduates that fought for the North and the South...some classmates and relatives even fought against each other. My point, its very not unusual as in its very common for retired military leaders to pen their support for a President they support or do not support. ---------- WASHINGTON — More than 200 retired generals and admirals endorsed Joe Biden for president in a letter published Thursday, saying he had the character and judgment to serve as commander-in-chief instead of President Donald Trump, who has failed "to meet challenges large or small." Some of the officers who signed the letter supporting Biden had retired only in the past few years, including Air Force Gen. Paul Selva, who served as vice chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff under Trump before he retired in August 2019; Vice Adm. Gardner Howe, a Navy SEAL leader who also retired last year; and retired Adm. Paul Zukunft, who oversaw the Coast Guard until 2018.... https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/20...als-endorse-biden-including-some-who-n1240842 ---------- Just as important, its very common for an active duty General, reservist General to support their current Commander in Chief and then change their support upon retirement. Usually, many Generals pen their letters after the United States has a different foreign policy that the Generals disapprove of (e.g. withdrawals from a War / Conflict). Personally, as a veteran and former officer that was once married to a West Point Graduate (mother of my children)... It's more telling when Active Duty Generals change their opinion about their Commander in Chief and then goes public about such while he's still Commander in Chief. Remember this, one of the fastest way to divide a country and possibly create a Civil War is when Military Generals become political instead of worrying about the enemy abroad. Another way to divide a country is when a Commander in Chief does not take a health crisis / humanitarian crisis seriously or blames it on a political opponent that's not Commander in Chief. In 20 years of writing about the military, I have never heard officers in high positions express such alarm about a president. Trump’s pronouncements and orders have already risked catastrophic and unnecessary wars in the Middle East and Asia, and have created severe problems for field commanders engaged in combat operations. Frequently caught unawares by Trump’s statements, senior military officers have scrambled, in their aftermath, to steer the country away from tragedy.... @ https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2019/11/military-officers-trump/598360/ wrbtrader

Usually when there are at least two sides to an issue, the majority will side with the least defective logic, but occasionally the majority does not. Thus we see illustrated in the majority opinion both the great strength and the Achilles' heel of democracy in one fell swoop, or as a colleague of mine liked to say "in one swell foop!" In the present case, it would seem opinions line up as they usually do in a democracy.
