Gov. Cuomo: Federal Quarantine Would Be a ‘Federal Act of War’

‘This would be a declaration of war on states’

RUSH EXCERPT:

CUOMO: "Yeah, I think that’s a reactionary policy. I am concerned about people with the virus coming to my state, right? That’s a reactionary policy and I don’t think that’s legal. We’re talking to Rhode Island now. If they don’t roll back that policy, I’m going to sue Rhode Island because that clearly is unconstitutional. I understand the goal. And I could set up my borders and say I’m not letting anyone in until they take a test to see whether or not they have the virus. But there’s a point of absurdity, and I think what Rhode Island did is at the point of absurdity. Again, it is not legal. They’re a neighboring state, I’m sure we’ll be able to work it out, but I think we need balance in this. I understand people are nervous, anxious, it is a frightening situation, but we have to keep it in focus, we have to keep the ideas and policies we implement positive rather than reactionary and emotional."
