Trump declared a "national emergency" on March 13 which gives the governors under the federalist system emergency powers.
Nothing gives anyone in government the authority to violate the Constitution, or to violate those rights of the people which the Constitution affirms.
Nothing.
The preamble of the Constitution states "promote the general welfare " this is a core function of government.
Just as the Bill of Rights does not mean you have a right to drive anyway you want, drunk or however you want because it violates the general welfare so opening up during a pandemic and endangering lives violates the general welfare.
