Governor Cuomo said today he doesn’t see the economy opening in 2 or 3 weeks and if Trump issues an order to do so he will fight it in Federal court. I can see this getting ugly real quick with a fight going all the way to the Supreme Court over state rights verse the rights of the Executive Branch of the Federal government. Obviously I am for opening it up, but I am a Federalist so I don’t think Trump has legal ground to stand on when he says he has the authority to override a state governor’s decision for stay at home orders. I could easily see Trump ordering states to reopen May 1 at least in part and some states not doing so and a fight ensuing. Love Trump or hate Trump I think his re-election hinges on how well his decision on this plays out whatever route he chooses to go. If he orders it closed another month and the economy crashes beyond its ability to recover before his re-election he is doomed. If he opens it up and the virus runs everywhere he is also doomed.
