New York passes law to create quarantine camps or remove undesirables from the population

No due process, no time limits, if you have a cough or other illness they can’t diagnose you can be removed from the general population and isolated for forever. Maybe if you’re a political enemy. Completely unconstitutional.

Or maybe they know there's another "Covid" coming, and they're getting a head start.

This is about homeless people. Yeah, they DO need a place to go that isn’t the gutter to die. It also takes psychos off the street so less random violence.

These lunatics deserved to be laughed out of court.

The health department policy makes no mention of "quarantine camps" or "political prisoners." It's a codification of the policies they improvised during COVID-19 - a period during which exactly ZERO camps were built. No one's going to be hauled off to the gulag by Kathy Hochul's magical goon squad. These antivaxxer cranks are just paranoid that the government is after them.

And of course four politicians lacked standing to sue over this statute. None of them were affected by this law. None of them was arrested, locked in a camp, tortured, or any of the other hot bullshit these white males are so afraid of.

I support this as applied to vagrants.

Well I don't think it's a good idea to have this enshrined in law except as perhaps emergency Powers with a definitive expiration and even then and only the most extreme cases that as long as this is on the applied to classes of people that I don't particularly care about and it doesn't negatively affect me then let's go for it.

R5 yet. Once we start allowing laws like this it becomes very easy to distort and exploit them or amend them as we see fit to apply to people that we just don't like.

Given the types of people that are in and seeking power it's pretty alarming that people aren't more upset by things like this. There are people in very powerful positions who would take very adverse and negative action toward gay people for instance if they felt like they could get away with it and at this point I'm fairly concerned that they could.

I support this if it is applied to MAGAts.

Let's face it, most on DL will support this because they assume it'll only apply to Covid deniers and the like.

Sadly, most are too young to remember when this terrifying idea was bandied about for people with AIDS -- quarantine camps with no due process. "To protect public health." "For the good of the country."

Memo to the young: Every law that you gleefully watch being turned against people you hate will become a cudgel against those you love in due time.

R9 exactly, imagine when this is applied to the gangbang gays in the next monkeypox outbreak.

R11 remember the legal fight just so Ryan White could continue going to school.

Just pointing out the obvious, r14.

What does this have to do with my book? I wrote it myself & I was hated by my mother.

OP's link is a Conservative Republican's take on the case, I for one don't trust any Republicans.

Here is a more independent take on the original case, I only skimmed through it since I don't live in New York I don't care too much about it.

About time. It's called law enforcement in the name of public health. Quit complaining and rubbing your pussies.

R19 is okay when it’s unvaxxed hillbillies but will protest when they start a monkeypox camp.
