00:04
whether the government has
00:06
the uh legal right or the government has
00:10
the ability to do something
00:12
are two different things so the
00:14
government whether it’s a county
00:16
government
00:17
municipal government state government
00:19
federal government
00:20
they all have police power and they can
00:23
exercise that police power
00:25
whether it’s constitutional whether it’s
00:27
legal
00:28
they have the ability to do it whether
00:31
or not what they’re doing
00:33
violates the state or federal
00:34
constitution is another issue
00:37
but while they’re doing it they
00:39
certainly have the ability to do it so
00:42
the governor of illinois has the ability
00:44
to tell restaurants you must be closed
00:46
the governor of illinois has the ability
00:48
to tell health clubs and gyms
00:50
you must be closed there’s nothing that
00:53
the health club or gym owner can do
00:56
to get around the government the
00:58
governor or the government’s mandatory
01:00
order to close a business
01:02
that being said it doesn’t mean that the
01:04
government
01:05
had the legal right to do that and it
01:08
doesn’t mean that there aren’t
01:10
remedies available in the laws
01:13
in order to protect private parties
01:16
against
01:16
improper government action
