New York's Quarantine Isolation Regulation is By Far the Most Dangerous in the Country
A mid-level NY Appellate Division overruled a lower court's decision that called this regulation what it really is...unconstitutional! If this stands, other leftist governors will follow suit!
In typical leftist fashion, they claim this legislation was created for the “greater good,” to protect the people of New York from those who may be infected with COVID or any other type of communicable disease, such as a common cold or the flu. This regulation gives the NYDOH the ability to lock you up, lock your family up and anyone else they deem a threat. This is tyranny at its finest.
The greatest tyrannies are always perpetrated in the name of the noblest causes.
Thomas Paine
Imagine sitting at home, minding your own business with your loved ones, and all of a sudden, BAM…your front door comes off the hinges, a bunch of white suits storm into your home with guns drawn, hand cuff you, drag you out of the house and throw you in a van. There is no warrant, no due process of law, no magistrate to stand before, and no explanation. You have just been kidnapped by your own government. For those of you who think this is far-fetched, I would tell you to have a talk with any one of the Jan 6 political prisoners, especially some of them who have been sitting in the DC gulag with no trial and no charges, after having been arrested at gunpoint by massive FBI raids for misdemeanor charges. Many have lost everything, including their families, so if you think political tyrants on the left aren’t sick enough to do these things, you are delusional!
It is no secret that in 2022, during her campaign for Governor of New York, Hochul wanted nearly 5.5 million citizens of the state to leave, making the following statement during a speech.
The era of Trump and Zeldin and Molinaro, just jump on a bus and head down to Florida where you belong. Get out of town! You don’t represent our values, you are not New Yorkers!
I have a question. If she can’t get all of these “not New Yorkers” to leave, what’s the next best thing she can do? Quarantine them! Yes, if you get a sniffle, if your neighbor hates you and they are a vindictive and vile leftist like Hochul, you could get turned in for a common cold and locked up under the quarantine regulation. You may not even be sick and still get hauled out of your home. Here are some additional things to ponder as well. They certainly aren’t going to send these people to hospitals, so where will this quarantine take place? Is she planning on creating a quarantine camp like the government of Australia did in 2021 and 2022 and lock people up there? What if those under quarantine test negative for the disease they were locked up for? What political party will those in quarantine belong to? And finally, the $66,000 question…will political elites like Hochul and other Marxists be subjected to the same treatment as the “not New Yorkers?”
There is still a ray of hope that this Orwellian regulation gets destroyed, and that is the New York Court of Appeals, which is where this is headed now. New York Senator Mark Walczyk, who is leading the charge against this tyrannical ruling, came out swinging, with the following statement.
The idea that the State Health Department will lawfully quarantine a New Yorker against their will sounds Soviet." The Judiciary has a role to play in checking the Executive and I'm deeply disappointed the Appellate Division missed the opportunity to draw the line at tyranny. Governor Hochul is falling right behind Cuomo in a lust for power of the state over individual rights. We'll continue to fight until we win back a future for New Yorkers that includes freedom.
Let’s all hope that this regulation ends up in the dust bin of really bad ideas, because if it doesn’t you can count on additional states following suit. It is this type of tyranny that the 1st and 2nd Amendments were born from!
