The Constitution applies to everyone on US soil, citizen or non-citizen. That is what "any person" means. When it says "citizen", like in reference to voting, then obviously it means only citizens.
“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.”
"The right of citizens of the United States to vote in any primary or other election for President or Vice President, ........"
We are talking about detaining foreigners before they come on our soil.
He cares more about limiting economic damages to the countries with major breakouts than protecting America from the disease, and since it's his second term if those are his priorities he can do that without personal consequences and there's nothing we as common citizens can do about it but pray (literally or proverbially according to your beliefs and preferences).
What do you mean by "the government itself"? The CDC is a bureacracy with a director appointed by the president and does not even get confirmed by the senate. The director therefore is going to follow the president's wishes. Bureacracy is NOT the government. The courts are the only ones that decide what is Constitutional. You can be assured that Obama's reasons for eliminating this rule is political, like everything he does. He was probably concerned that it might limit the number of minorities (read future democrat voters) that might be allowed into the country.
And comedy like this is why I keep coming back to these forums. That is a joke isn't it?
It's just hilarious how many people will read an outrageous headline then won't bother to read the artical under the headline and then won't bother to spend two minutes searching to verify the claims of either. Okay, it's more sad than hilarious, but gosh if it isn't 90% of the posts here.
The story broke on April Fools of all days...it is such a stupid move by Obama, that people probably thought it was a joke being April Fools and all, and those were the "Hope and Change" days - the "Obama is the smartest man in the room" days that probably fed the idea that such an idiotic move was a joke.
Off to the bunkers you go! Yes, let's blame a virus on the president, brilliant plan.
It is the job of the President to protect the nation from it's enemies, and to also promote the health and well being of the nation. Making such foolish decisions, with no input from Congress, and apparently done "quietly" (if not secretively) calls into question the Presidents motives, and his allegiance to the United States. Why would he take such action? What possible good is there in such an action? It is in this sense that the President must bear at least some of the burden of blame for the entry of the virus into the United States.
This is one of the problems of "open borders," as well.

It is the job of the Obamabots to protect Obama from fair criticism, and to also promote the health and well being of Obama's reputation. Making such foolish statements, with no input from reality, and apparently done "hypocritically" as they were correctly upset when Bush did Obama-like actions calls into question the Obamabots motives, and their allegiance to the United States. Why would Obamabots take such action? What possible good is there in such an action? It is in this sense that the Obamabots must bear at least some of the burden of blame for the downfall of the Obama presidency as they refused to hold him accountable for his poor actions.
This is one of the problems of the "sheep flock mentality" as well.

How much government intrusion do we need to submit to in order for you to feel protected from disease?
"I'm from the government, and I am here to help you".
LOL
