The covid flu pandemic is nominally serious.

More people died of the flu in 2017.

Emergency orders are not laws.

The mayor has no right to supercede the Constitution for any reason. Ever.

She betrayed her oath to defend the constitutional rights of her constituents.

She is a traitor.

She deserves prison for the crimes against the citizens of Chicago.

You are factually wrong.

Emergency powers are both granted by the constitution as well as reinforced by the 10th amendment granting the states any powers not enumerated therein. In other words, pandemic related clauses in various states, under emergency powers granted by their own constitutions and supported by the federal constitution. And the supreme court over the past 100+ years backs me up on this.

So you know the law better than over a century of judges, lawyers, politicians, etc? Or are you just going "NUH UH"?

I know that any law that violates the constitutionally protected rights of Americans and visitors to the US is illegal. Unequivocally.

There is no law that supercedes the US Constitution.

I know that courts and lawyers engage in criminal activity to violate these protected rights.

I know Lightfoot took an oath and broke her oath.

Lightfoot is a criminal, a traitor, and oath breaker.

They have no authority besides the threat/use of force.
