Alito warns coronavirus restrictions shouldn’t outlast the pandemic

[Sniper 6,372]

Apparently he's seeing the overreach by certain governors, who are putting unconstitutional restrictions on the population. Wonder what he'll do about it?

....."WASHINGTON — Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito on Thursday sounded an alarm about restrictions imposed because of the coronavirus pandemic, saying they shouldn’t become a “recurring feature after the pandemic has passed.”

“The pandemic has resulted in previously unimaginable restrictions on individual liberty,” Alito said in an address to the conservative Federalist Society, which is holding its annual convention virtually because of the pandemic.

But he said it is an “indisputable statement of fact” that “we have never before seen restrictions as severe, extensive and prolonged as those experienced for most of 2020.”

“Whatever one may think about the COVID restrictions, we surely don’t want them to become a recurring feature after the pandemic has passed,” said Alito, who was nominated to the court by President George W. Bush.

I've ignored him since his inauguration.   

Of course, it's easier for me since I'm not a small business owner, feeling his boot on my neck.

Does he believe they're going to let the "pandemic" pass?

This is the most powerful, successful tool for controlling populations in modern history.  

They'll do everything they can to keep this thing on slow boil indefinitely.

(BTW- the definition of pandemic is when a Majority of the population is infected, even including all the false positives we are nowhere near the levels of a true pandemic).

No, a majority of the population need not be infected.  A pandemic is a geographical reference, it is an epidemic that occurs worldwide, or at least across a very wide area.   They tend to affect a lot of people, often with high mortality, but the definition doesn't reference % infected or % killed.

Rarely if ever has a pandemic infected the majority of the population.   Plague in Europe, and first introduction of smallpox among native Americans in North America, maybe, but that's cherry picking examples.
