Can't Do It, Dummy!"

Some governors (and other politicians) think you can declare the Constitution invalid because they’re “doing it for good” and it’s “an emergency.” But that’s stupid thinking, and it shows who is wishing to be a dictator, at least over the tiny area they control. I’ve seen governors do it, and I’ve seen local politicians do it. And get away with it, for a while—until the Supreme Court catches up to them. Sadly, there isn’t a punishment for those politicians who violate the Constitution, other than the indignity of having their actions declared unconstitutional and reversed. Unfortunately, the supreme Court usually acts as fast as paint dries, and the damage has already been done to many people, who lose money, sometimes their businesses, or their property, even some going to prison before they act. Many politicians are right now using the pandemic panic as an excuse to violate the Constitution, with one governor blandly admitting that he didn’t even CONSIDER the Constitution when he made his rulings. That should be a criminal offense, and reason for his or her removal from office, immediately, to reduce the damage. The Michigan governor has been probably the worst offender. (Just common sense)
