Go read Jacobson v Massachusetts. Barrett tacitly consented to that piece of case law when she sided with Ellis who used it as "guidance" in the Illinois lockdown case.
Jacobson is scary as fuck and hadn't been used by the courts as precedent for 70+ years, and for good reason, until Ellis and Barret came along. That case law gives the government wayyy too much control over our lives. It's as bad as Wickard v Filburn and Plessy v Ferguson.
She shouldn't have ever been within a mile of concurring with Ellis just based off of Ellis's use of Jacobson. That indicates to me that she's either a statist, has a weak mind, or is close enough to either that I will not support her nomination.
Jacobson was a citizen of Massachusetts. They were having a small pox pandemic in 1906. MA wanted to inoculate the population. Jacobson didn't want to be inoculated. They were going to force him. He sued. It went to the Supreme Court and the Court ruled that the government had the right to force him to get inoculated because it was in the state's interest.
Bill Gates heartily approves of this decision, and apparently, so does Barrett.
