Wonder what would happen if the government personally prohibited him from jumping off a bridge or from ingesting cyanide?

I consider myself libertarian-leaning but that just sounds like a stupid idea. There are better ways to promote and defend constitutional rights.

The Federal Government doesn't have authority to do this. A State Government will have more authority, but still not enough. It's not in their Constitutions to have this kind of authority.

The thing that might be in their Constitutions is making them clean up a mess. Why should a State be required to clean up, say, a mess from someone jumping off a bridge? Yet they are required to keep State lands in good condition, not offensive to other people.

IF Bundy has a following in Idaho that would back him in court, this might be exactly the way to prove the efficacy of CV. When he gets to court (provided they arrest him), and his trial brings out that there is an exaggerated CV pandemic story, and that we never needed any kind of lockdown stuff, he could win some $millions off the State for them messing with his personal property, himself.

Bundy probably wouldn't go for the big bucks. He doesn't really need it. But the whole court thing would bring out so much of what is going on with CV, and would determine if the State has the right to take your freedom away, that the State might not mess with him. After all, this whole thing will be done with long before many other groups get going in a big Bundy way.

Cool
