According to the CDC, states have “police powers.” According to The Gateway Pundit, the following information was published in September 2021. They can quarantine you at will.
The CDC has a role as well. They state: Under 42 Code of Federal Regulations parts 70 and 71, CDC is authorized to detain, medically examine, and release persons arriving into the United States and traveling between states who are suspected of carrying these communicable diseases.
The CDC claims they can do it for these illnesses:
- Cholera
- Diphtheria
- Infectious tuberculosis
- Plague
- Smallpox
- Yellow fever
- Viral hemorrhagic fevers [there is one going around in China right now]
- Severe acute respiratory syndromes
- Flu that can cause a pandemic [Covid?]
- Measles
REIN THEM IN!
Legal Authorities for Isolation and Quarantine
Federal isolation and quarantine are authorized by Executive Order of the President. The President can revise this list by Executive Order.
Isolation and Quarantine
Isolation and quarantine help protect the public by preventing exposure to people who have or may have a contagious disease.
- Isolation separates sick people with a quarantinable communicable disease from people who are not sick.
- Quarantine separates and restricts the movement of people who were exposed to a contagious disease to see if they become sick.
In addition to serving as medical functions, isolation and quarantine also are “police power” functions, derived from the right of the state to take action affecting individuals for the benefit of society.
Federal Law
The federal government derives its authority for isolation and quarantine from the Commerce Clause of the U.S. Constitution.
Under section 361 of the Public Health Service Act (42 U.S. Code § 264), the U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services is authorized to take measures to prevent the entry and spread of communicable diseases from foreign countries into the United States and between states.
The authority for carrying out these functions on a daily basis has been delegated to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
CDC’s Role
Under 42 Code of Federal Regulations parts 70 and 71, CDC is authorized to detain, medically examine, and release persons arriving into the United States and traveling between states who are suspected of carrying these communicable diseases.
As part of its federal authority, CDC routinely monitors persons arriving at U.S. land border crossings and passengers and crew arriving at U.S. ports of entry for signs or symptoms of communicable diseases.
When alerted about an ill passenger or crew member by the pilot of a plane or captain of a ship, CDC may detain passengers and crew as necessary to investigate whether the cause of the illness on board is a communicable disease.

There’s a little problem with these laws; The Constitution of the United States of America. American Citizens have a right to due process and in America Mass Punishment is not allowed. Lock Downs, Mask mandates and “Shot” Mandates are Mass Punishment without any due process.
The CDC has the power to detain people “suspected” of having a disease for a reasonable examination, but there needs to be cause, like a cough or fever. The CDC can’t just round up people at will. The CDC would clearly have the power to restrict sick people from entering the country, but travel from state to state would be a real stretch of interstate commerce.
The Constitution does not authorized the Federal Government “Police Powers” under it’s enumerated powers. That power is reserved to the States, but for a hundred years the Federal Government has been ignoring the Constitution every chance it gets. Technically, the FBI, DEA, ATF, etc. are illegal outside of Federal property without a State Governor’s approval.
A big problem in America has been spline-less, ball-less Governors who don’t challenge every Federal Law imposing upon States’ Rights. This is why the 17th Amendment MUST BE repealed. If the Senators were appointed by the States again, many of these expansion of Federal Power Laws would never see the light of day.
In 1905, the Supreme Court ruled in Jacobson v. Massachusetts that Massachusetts citizens could be fined $5 for not taking a vaccine. That would be a fine of $160 today. Depriving someone of a job for not being vaccinated is “Cruel and Unusual Punishment”. Then there is the Issue of the Nuremberg Code. In 1947 the United States and much of the world established that forcing people to take substances without their consent or due process of law was a War Crime – a Crime against Humanity. It’s interesting how a Government is willing to throw all common sense, Law, and President out the window when it becomes drunk on power. I’m amazed at what I’ve heard coming out of the Supreme Court in resent days. It appears that they have become so scared of Court Packing by Traitor Joe that they will side with the tyrants against The People. Maybe we need to reconsider the Supreme Court and replace it with a Court of Justices appointed by the Governor of each State who serves at the will of the Governor. It’s clear that the Supreme Court spends too much time in The Beltway with politicians to be independent.
