Maryland’s Mini-Mussolini
March 30, 2020
Maryland Governor Larry Hogan (R-Trump Resistance), who actually resembles Benito Mussolini, has issued an unconstitutional “stay-at-home” order along with many other governors, mayors, and various other snake-in-the-grass small-time politicians. Hogan’s order is for Marylanders to stay in their homes with the only exceptions of grocery shopping and medical care. Anyone caught violating the new Il Duce’s orders will be subjected to criminal charges and a $5,000 fine and a year in prison.
Another thing we learn from this episode is that there are no longer any constitutional lawyers in America who are willing to challenge all of these obviously, blatantly, unconstitutional Soviet-style dictates.
