I wonder if Ned Lamont and the Connecticut Democrat Party have ever read the United States Constitution? It is an interesting document that might be worth their reading in between their profiteering from the Covid-19 virus here in our state. For example: Article 1 Section 8 does not seem to have been read with Ned Lamont's Executive Order #7III in particular this section: "NOW, THEREFORE, I, NED LAMONT,Governor of the State of Connecticut, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of the State of Connecticut, do hereby ORDER AND DIRECT:1.Repeal of Advisory Self-Quarantine.Executive Order No. 7BBB, Section 1 is repealed.2.Mandatory Self-Quarantine for Travelers from States with High COVID-19 Levels.Effective at 12:01 a.m. Friday, July 24, 2020, Section 19a-131a of the Connecticut General Statutes is hereby modified to add a new subsection as follows:(g) (1) For purposes of this subsection, an “Affected State” means a state with a positive test rate higher than 10 per 100,000 residents, or higher than a 10% test positivity rate over a seven-day rolling average; and an “Affected Traveler” means a person who has spent twenty-four hours or longer in an Affected State within fourteen days prior to arriving in Connecticut, but does not include an individual remaining in Connecticut for less than twenty-four hours. (2) All Affected Travelers shall self-quarantine for a period of fourteen days from the time of last contact with such Affected State, for any portion of such fourteen day period they spend in Connecticut, or for the duration of such Affected Travelers’ stay in Connecticut, whichever is shorter."
Article 1 Section 8 from the United States Constitution: "The Congress shall have the power to regulate commerce with foreign Nations and among the several States and with the the Indian tribes." In stating this in real terms, if states interfere with business travelers it is a direct violation of the United States Constitution. I and many others also feel that the United States Constitution supersedes Ned Lamont's Executive Orders. Also where in our State Constitution does it give the right to the Department of Public Health being able to fine travelers $1000 if they do not report their location to the state? Why are their travel forms and who actually reads them? How is this legal? How does this stop Covid-19 when we have few if any cases in the state now? Why would anyone want to either travel to do business in our state and or visit family or friends on a vacation in the state? Does this action and Executive Order further compound the economic crisis that is happening in Connecticut today? One may assume so.
My good friend Tony DeAngelo discussed this issue along with identity theft on his latest episode with Lee Elci this past Tuesday (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m1_iGx1XyAg&feature=youtu.be). Please listen as it vital to understanding the many issues that Connecticut has since March, 2020.
In
theory September 9th is the last day of Ned Lamont's economically
irrational Executive Orders that have done little than to destroy
Connecticut's economy. There is no need to renew this Executive Order action. It is time for our non-functional General Assembly to meet again and become part of our government again. There is also no need to live in constant fear of Covid-19 as there are few if any cases of it in the state. There is no need either for an illegal travel ban to be enforced illegally either by the Department of Public Health. It is time to make our state economy function again for everyone not just Ned Lamont, the Boston Consulting Group and State employees who received their raises on July 1, 2020. It is time to make Connecticut a "Free" state again not a "Socialistic" state led by the feeble Connecticut Democrat Party. Enough is enough.
