It Begins: Judge Rules that Your Rights Are What I Say They Are

The weasel-worded judicial rubber stamping of the complete abolition of the rule of law in America by governors, mayors, the president, and all arms of the state has begun.  A lawsuit in Michigan challenged the governor’s orders to abolish freedom of assembly and religion, among many other constitutional freedoms, with her stay-at-home-and-shut-your-mouth orders.  Judge Christopher Murray ruled in favor of the state with the ridiculous argument that constitutional rights have “always” been subject to the opinions of “society.”

That of course turns the Constitution upside down.  The whole stated purpose of the Bill of Rights has always been to isolate these God-given natural rights to life, liberty and property from the political whims of “society.”  That’s the whole purpose of the Bill of Rights.  When the First Amendment says that Congress shall make no law abridging the rights of free assembly and freedom of religion, it doesn’t add “unless ‘society’ disagrees,” with “society” defined by some pipsqueak government lawyer.
