What if?

I am posting a small piece of Andrew P. Napolitano's latest article that I would ask you to consider:
"What if there is no authority in the Constitution for the feds to tell us all how to live and to compel us all to receive experimental drugs? What if the government has signed a treaty right after World War II that prohibits all nations that have signed it from compelling any persons to receive experimental drugs?
What if the feds treat their commitments under treaties just as they do their restraints under the Constitution — with disdain and indifference?
What if the feds believe it is politically wise for them to compel the rest of us to receive experimental drugs? What if the feds have done this even though they have no authority for it from the Constitution and even though the Supreme Court has ruled that all competent adults can refuse any medication and all competent parents can make health and medical decisions for their children?
What if the feds don’t care what the Supreme Court says when it rules against them? What if a circuit court of appeals — which is just below the Supreme Court — has ruled that there are “grave constitutional concerns” with federal edicts issued last week purporting to compel all employers of 100 or more persons to require their employees to be vaccinated against COVID-19? What if the feds are proceeding to enforce these edicts, notwithstanding an injunction against them imposed by this court of appeals?
What if the feds have no authority whatsoever to enter upon private property without a search warrant and tell an employer how to run a business?
What if the federal vaccine edict was promulgated by the president and his bureaucrats and is not a law that can be enforced with penalties? What if under the Constitution, only Congress — not the president and not the bureaucrats — can write laws? What if Congress has not enacted any laws compelling COVID-19 vaccinations? What if the president hasn’t even asked Congress to enact such laws?
What if the president doesn’t care about the Constitution he has sworn to uphold and instead directed bureaucrats to issue edicts and pretend that they are laws? What if it is dangerous for the feds to defy one of their own courts?
What if some courageous governors tell their police not to enforce federal edicts? What if the feds lack the resources to enforce their edicts on their own? What if the feds suffer a huge political backlash because of their imposition of edicts that assault personal bodily integrity and invade private property?
What if the states ignore the feds? What if they refuse its cash and decline its bribes? What if we are all left free to make our own choices when it comes to bodily integrity and personal privacy?
What if the feds don’t take lightly a massive and state-generated defiance of their edicts? What if the feds wrongly use force to compel compliance with their edicts? What if most folks fear the feds because they prefer safety to freedom?
What if it is dangerous to be right when the government is wrong? What do we do about it?" The Best of Andrew P. Napolitano
