^^^ But unless we are there, we don't really know all the details.
The crazy part of the USA is, all those people who are protesting the lockdowns by marching on their local government, should be taking their government people to court in a jury trial that requires proof that Covid is a viable pandemic. If they did this, not only would they get the info they needed to make an informed decision about locking down, but they could sue their officials for not following the constitutions and amendments.
the problem about that is that it doesn't matter what the government does, someone will always be somehow pissed of.
in germany we call it destructive tensioning,
an oppositional democratic party first blames government for too many corona death and not doing anything and as soon as the government does something the same party then blames government for being too oppressive.
the usa is in its core basically that way, it enforces crazy legislation on all kinds of stuff while at the same time it is forcing foreign governents to not have any legislation ending ultimately in chaos in the name of liberalism.
While it seems just like you have said it, here is where you are wrong. The Bundy's used only a small percent of the power they have available in the law.
Read about the
Bundy Standoff at
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bundy_standoff. When they were finally captured, and the standoff was over, they spent 2 years going through the courts. Guess what happened in the courts? The juries freed them from everything. No charges stood by the time they were done. Trouble is, as I said, they didn't know much of the way they could have reduced the thing to a few months rather than 2 years of litigation.
Do you remember that Bible passage in Hosea 4:6?:
my people are destroyed from lack of knowledge. "Because you have rejected knowledge, I also reject you as my priests; because you have ignored the law of your God, I also will ignore your children."
Certainly the Bible passage pertains to God and His law. But it also pertains to USA law. The reason jury trial is in two Amendments is, it was around before the USA existed as a nation. It was around from British law.
Then, Amendment 9 says that we still have all the rights that are not given to us in the Constitution. This means that even if the jury Amendments (6 & 7) were taken away, we would still have the right to trial by jury, because that right was there before the Constitution seemed to confer that right on us.
But you don't see even one person who has been accosted by law enforcement for not obeying a pandemic directive, taking the law enforcement people and the governor to court in jury trial to get the reason for the pandemic proven right or wrong... and a whole lot of other things, as well.
You might ask if I have gone to court by jury. I haven't. But I haven't been accosted. When I have been harmed by government, I will be taking them to court. And, it is available to everyone to do. But you don't do things that you don't know you can do, except by accident.
