Tennessee state representative Bruce Griffey laid out in detail how governor Lee’s executive orders, curbing Tennesseans’ civil liberties, violate the constitution of the state of Tennessee. Griffey now requests a legal opinion from the Tennessee attorney general to clarify the governor’s authority and the constitutionality of these orders.

Thank God for Checks and Balances!
House Bill H.R.6666, introduced by a Democrat from Illinois, would enact total surveillance over Americans who have committed no crime. Thankfully, his party does not have a majority in the Senate, nor control over the White House.
Occasionally, it is a good idea to remember the wisdom of the Founding Fathers. Tyranny is harder to accomplish when it requires bipartisanship.

Elon Musk Defies California County’s Excessive Shutdown Order and Reopens Tesla Factory
Trying to save American jobs and families, Tesla Motors CEO Elon Musk went ahead and reopened the car maker’s plant in Alameda county, one of the jurisdictions keeping draconian shutdown orders in place and banning people from working, despite the coronavirus curve long having been flattened.
Musk also asked that if anyone would be arrested, it would only be him.

Elon Musk moves Tesla Motors headquarters out of California and threatens to PULL TESLA OUT of California entirely, as officials keep factory shut due to Wuhan-Coronavirus
Despite “the curve” having long been over-“flattened” and hospitals laying off doctors and nurses throughout the country, California officials refuse to allow their citizens to return to work, unless they deem the particular business “essential” – an arbitrary determination that has cost dozens of millions of Americans their job.
In order to survive, Tesla Motors, one of Americas biggest success stories and one of California’s major employers, is now forced to cut its losses and move to a less oppressive state.

A Long Overdue Baby Step in The Right Direction: Nashville Mayor Promises Phase One of His Slow Reopening Plan to Start on Monday
According to Mayor Cooper’s plan, severe restrictions will remain in place for months and there is no plan to lift restrictions entirely, even in the last phase of his four-phase plan. Nashville’s key industries, entertainment, bars and live music will remain closed for the foreseeable future and a massive property-tax hike will increase the financial pressure on Nashvilleans. However, after protests and amid enormous hospital-overcapacity, Cooper finally agreed to at least allow small retail stores to open up again, albeit with substantial restrictions.
“Last week, on April 30th, we were supposed to have opened the Music City Center as an emergency 1,400 bed hospital, and it’s a prayerful event that that didn’t happen.” Cooper said. “Our hospitalization and mortality rates are relatively low. Our transmission rate could be better, but is still around one after several weeks. The time for the disease to double is flat, always an important public health metric.”
While the speed of the mayor’s reopening plan is still dissapointingly hesitant and keeping up restrictions is no longer justified by science, beginning the reopening is at least a small step in the right direction.
