It& #39;s time for Constitutional Law 101.

"Congress shall have power to . . . provide for the common defence and general welfare of the United States."

Saving tens of thousands of lives = providing for the general welfare.

The issue in Jacobson v. Massachusetts was whether a mandatory vaccination violated the 14th Amendment right to liberty.

Nope. My right to life outweighs your right not to wear a mask.

This isn& #39;t hard.

You see, @RepThomasMassie, the government really does have the power to issue regulations. This means sometimes you have to do things you don& #39;t want to do for the safety of yourself and others.

It& #39;s tough. I know. https://twitter.com/David_S__/status/1279988869056745472">https://twitter.com/David_S__...
