Constitution not a suicide pact, allowing us to ignore duties

In 1949, U.S. Supreme Court Justice Robert H. Jackson asserted that “The Constitution is not a suicide pact.” His perspective reflected concerns of government officials throughout American history. The gist of his statement is that our constitutional protections often conflict and require balance in favor of healthy, non-violent existence; in giving priority to a greater constitutional good. No rights are absolute, let alone all of the time. I believe Justice Jackson’s statement goes to the heart of our conflict between government protection from Covid-19, an extremely dangerous virus, and people who claim that government enforcement of those same protections violates a constitutional right. These people use the “right” to justify ignoring the science that guides government protections.

Sinn Féin leader Mary Lou McDonald urges 'clarity' from Taoiseach on Covid-19 restrictions

SINN FÉIN leader Mary Lou McDonald has urged the Government to provide 'clarity' on Covid-19 restrictions after the Taoiseach was spotted in Phoenix Park with his partner and two friends. Earlier this week, images of Mr Varadkar emerged on social media showing him, his partner Matt and two friends spending time in Phoenix Park. While they appeared to be adhering to social distancing measures, and Phase 1 allows groups of up to four people to meet outdoors, there was confusion as to whether the restrictions allowed for meetings of long periods to take place, rather than just brief exercise outdoors. Ms McDonald raised the issue while speaking on Radio Kerry yesterday, saying the leaders of this country owe it to the people to provide clarity on what is allowed. Advertisement "I did understand that the advice was not to have picnics," the Sinn Féin leader said. "I know they are having picnics."
