Thank you for bringing attention to Newsom's order. It's appalling.

Thanks for reading! I agree that it's important and appalling. My hope is to connect current events that might seem unrelated back to the Constitution.

Anatole France, one of my favorite writers, once observed that the law in its majesty gives rich and poor an equal right to sleep under bridges. But US law doesn't even do that. Instead, it gives rich and poor an equal right to sleep in overpriced McMansions. If the poor can't foot the bill, then they have to either go to prison or move to some unincorporated area out in the desert where the state police will still harass them regardless. And to think that Newsom is the great liberal hope!
