Mask Patrols Instituted

Probably dressed the same as the white supremacist groups who are being lined up to discourage minority voting. This is America today and it's only started in the last couple of years. In prior years, subjects like this were unthinkable

Repugnant to the Constitution? Exactly what does that mean, Squatting Dog?

The definition of "repugnant" includes "distasteful; incompatible with." So, how does a public health measure, required for the common good (in the modern world) fit under an 1803 Supreme Court ruling about not permitting Congress to enact laws in conflict with the Constitution?

Sounds like a slippery slope to me. If local authorities are not allowed to pass laws protecting the citizenry against a highly contagious, often fatal disease, howcum it's OK for local legislators to overturn Roe v Wade?
 
When I was a kid, WWII was taking place. Although the US was never in danger of being bombed, air raid wardens were assigned to neighborhoods and during drills, when sirens sounded all lights had to be extinguished and/ or shades drawn. I never heard my folks (who were wardens) speak of any malcontents harping about their rights and the possibility that this might be a violation of the Constitution.

Wonder if any folks in London left their lights on in defiance of common sense requests that would help to save their lives and the lives of people around them. We, here in the US at least are surrounded by the "all about me" generation that says to hell with the common good if it inconveniences me in any small way.

I don't think this can be attributed to any particular generation unless you're referring to all generations who happens to be alive right now. Old and young seem to be guilty of this attitude.
