"Papers please? What is your purpose of travel."
Governors are placing travel bans from state-to-state. As a good citizen, I believe we should self-enforce. However, from a constitutional standpoint, how are these bans legal?
My personal opinion is they aren't. I'd feel better if the Governors said this will only be enforceable for the next 30 days. Just prior to it's expiring, we will re-evaluate to see if it needs to be extended and, any extension will have an expiration date to be no more than 30 days.
Virus or no virus, we have liberties that should be very difficult to give up. There needs to be legal hurdles in place.
Your thoughts please.
