and teh sherriff refuses
and the person develops covid
could they sue teh sheriff personally for damages since his refusal to obey teh court order contributed to them catching and they havent been convited of a crime and are therefore presumed innocent

Sure.

And if he releases them and they commit a murder?

Everybody is a Constitutional scholar these days.

So like all liberals then. Glad you think you’re a radical.

Nah. Mainstream .

Vaccination for a public health crisis and “forfeiture of natural rights”? Murders and especially pedophiles should be sequestered and vaccinated after the Gen pop but that’s just my opinion.

So it’s mainstream when liberals only follow the convenient parts of the constitution, but radical when the right does?

There’s a word for that.

You forgot to mention we want all terrorists released as well.

That’s not even an apt comparison. It is radical for law enforcement to follow what they think the Constitution says. By ignoring a lawful order he is…ya da! subverting the Constitution.

Just because the radical right fetishizes the Constitution doesn’t mean they know much about it.

Assumption. Just because a judge ordered it doesn’t make it lawful.

You think you know more about it than I do?

They are innocent until proven guilty.

I think that a lot of people who express their undying love for it have some pretty weird, sometimes radical, sometimes funny ideas on how it works.

Like this Sheriff.

It is until it ain’t. And that’s not for the Sheriff to decide.

So if a judge ordered a prisoner executed immediately after the trial…that’s lawful and should be carried out, until it isn’t.

Also: this is an appeal to a “I was just following orders…” defense.

Hyperbole. Restrictions on movement, business etc have been held up as Constitutional across multiple SCOTUS cases going back to the early 1800’s.

A Sheriff’s opinion based on kissing the Constitution on the lips when he gets home isn’t valid.

Of course they are, and a judge put them in there.

Based on?

Did that judge put them all in there?
