OPINION:
In the recent past I have been quick to critique the Andrew Napolitano columns with which I fervently disagree. However, Mr. Napolitano’s recent piece, “Do governors have the right to decide which activities are essential?” (Web, April 15), is outstanding and should be required reading by all as a reminder to us of what this country is about.
Mr. Napolitano admits that the state has a compelling interest in fighting a pandemic. But he explains how government’s responses to the current coronavirus pandemic have far exceeded its authority under our Constitution and deprive us citizens of our most fundamental constitutional rights.
Mr. Napolitano then poses the most crucial question: Will the government return all of our constitutional freedoms when all this is over?
