The United States Constitution is supposed to be the basic rule of law in America for politicians and citizens but for quite a while now elected officials in the Federal and State Governments have been in direct violation of the Constitution and nobody - least off all the ACLU which is silent because supporting tyranny - is pointing this out.
You will not hear complaints about these Constitutional violations on
ABC
CBS
NBC
MSNBC
CNN
NPR
FOX
because they all have us arguing amongst each other about the "science."
All of that is irrelevant to the matter of the violations of the Constitution and the money owed to the owners of the businesses shuttered by the Federal Government and State Governments.
Especially deficient in not shrieking about these tyrannical violations of The Constitution and demanding they be immediately stopped and restitution be made are the I-Never-Leave-Home-Without-A-Copy-Of-The-Constitution-In-My-Pocket conservatives.
Here are the relevant Constitutional Amendments bearing directly on these tyrannical violations.
First, for the Federal Government:
The Takings Clause of the Fifth Amendment to the United States Constitution reads as follows: “Nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation.”

Secondly, for the State Governments:
Section 1
All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.
Obviously, when the Federal Government and The State Government officials are ordering some businesses be shuttered that is a taking of personal property in that it is denying the owner of each individual business the ability to make money on their legitimate and legal enterprise - so - they owe those owners financial compensation to make them whole.
Both levels of government must stop the tyranny and make restitution and putative conservatives must begin to act in defense of our Constitutional rights and stop arguing about "science."
