More on what governments can get away with in these COVID-19 times
Some of my FB friends have asked me to write something about the spate of government orders about social distancing, closures of state parks and beaches, constitutional rights to congregate and associate in public, requiring masks when in stores, and mandatory testing (which I will deal with another time). A few of these issues are simple, but most are not. Whatever else, this pandemic has certainly provided a real-time lesson on federalism, the essence of which is a shared/sometimes overlapping…
Some perspective on President Trump’s call for off-label use of Hydroxychloroquine
The President is getting a lot of flak for basically telling COVID-19 patients to try Hydroxychloroquine or as he has put it, “What do you have to lose.” The criticism from the medical establishment is that the drug is not proven safe or effective for COVID-19. That is true, but it’s not the whole story. Most people are or have recently become familiar with the concept of “off label” use, but I suspect few really understand some important aspects of…
To all you Yahoos who think you have a constitutional right to congregate during a pandemic
The short of it is that you don’t. For at least the last few hundred years, the law has recognized the government’s responsibility to protect the public health via its police powers. That job primarily falls to the states under the 10th Amendment, which provides that all powers not expressly granted to the federal government resides in the states. There are many cases where state and the federal government have been allowed to lock-up people considered dangerous to the health,…
How far can the government go to restrict your movement and the first (idiotic) test case is filed
People want to know how much can the government really restrict their movements. Can the government really stop healthy people from congregating? I think the short answer to both is yes, at least in the short term, and at least until some court says otherwise, and for reasons I will discuss, I do not see a court overturning a government shelter-in-place order anytime soon. (Ok, maybe that wasn’t such a short answer.) There are both federal and state law issues…
Being prepared for Government overreach and medical mandates in times like these
I received the following email, and I thought it was worth responding to in a post. “I hope you and yours are well and staying safe from the viral insanity. I wonder if you have any advice on being prepared for overreach and medical mandates in times like these? I like to have at least a flexible plan. I just finished reading Suzanne Somers’ “Knockout”, and watching Real Stories’ coverage on Stanislaw Burzynski… my cousin is currently seeing Dr Burzynski…

Kind and heartening words from a GL Reader
A semi retired attorney just send me an very nice email after finishing my book. here it is: “Attorney Jaffe, I’m an older, semi-retired Indiana lawyer who just finished reading your book, Galileo’s Lawyer. What a superb book! Very inspiring in many ways. I want to thank you for your gallant (I use that word purposefully) efforts on behalf of ALL of America. Most will never see or know of your efforts on their behalf, but really, you’ve done a…

NO VOTE ON NEW JERSEY RELIGIOUS EXEMPTION BILL! THE NATIONAL Vaccine Concerned get the big W!!!!
The New Jersey Legislature did not have the votes to pass the bill to remove the religious exemption, so the sponsors did not bring the bill up for a vote late Monday, January 13, 2020. It is officially dead for this legislative session. Congrats to the many thousands of people who showed up in Trenton, and the many more thousands of people who participated remotely via Facebook. This effort should become the model for political activism in the fight against…
