I'm afraid I'm not following. I can't think of an example of unchecked federal power that is more glaring than what we've seen in relation to CoVid. From vaccine passports to travel restrictions to domestic terrorist lists (for simply questioning the "science"), there seems to be nothing that the federal government believes it can't do.moda0306 wrote: ↑Tue Aug 24, 2021 4:46 pm I mean the majority of the civil libertarian issues relating to vaccines/COVID are at the state/local/school-district level. Not nationally. I'm not saying there's nothing federally, but it's not my primary concern as it pertains to unchecked federal power and violence towards people.
And mandated vaccines (think federal workers, military, Fauci's threat the day before yesterday re a generalized federal vaccine mandate) stands as perhaps the most shocking intrusion into bodily autonomy ("violence toward people?") that we've seen in our lifetimes. I think of myself as very much a civil libertarian (a "classical liberal"), but when it comes to the details, you and I seem to see things very differently.
