"Gov. Hogan (R-MD) on resistance to mask requirement: “It’s sort of like saying, ‘I have a constitutional right to drive drunk’ … There is no constitutional right to walk around without a mask.” "
Gov. Hogan (R-MD) on resistance to mask requirement: “It’s sort of like saying, ‘I have a constitutional right to drive drunk’ … There is no constitutional right to walk around without a mask.” "
And he’s right, but he used a faulty comparison because drunk driving includes the activity known as driving which is not a constitutionally protected right.
It is more closely comparable to the requirement of shoes and shirt in a restaurant.
There is also no constitutional power granted the general government for a national mask mandate.
