If I may ...
Of course it is legal. We the people gave those that govern us the authority to make the laws over us.
In Maryland, for instance, Article 32 of the Maryland Declaration of Rights, states "That no person except regular soldiers, marines, and mariners in the service of this State, or militia, when in actual service, ought, in any case, to be subject to, or punishable by Martial Law." So, what does the state do? They (the Legislature) empowers the Governor with the ability to declare a State of Emergency whereby he can put martial law in place without calling it that.
Well that's good. Because everyone knows, that knows history, and the US Constitution, that every able bodied man, (and woman if you so choose), is a militiaman, and therefore a member of the militia. That means that none of what the State of Maryland decrees, will apply to the people.
“I ask you sir, who are the militia? They consist now of the whole people.”
~ George Mason
And is codified into US Law:
10 U.S. Code § 246.Militia: composition and classes
(a)The militia of the United States consists of all able-bodied males at least 17 years of age and, except as provided in
section 313 of title 32, under 45 years of age who are, or who have made a declaration of intention to become, citizens of the United States and of female citizens of the United States who are members of the National Guard.
(b)The classes of the militia are—
(1)the organized militia, which consists of the National Guard and the Naval Militia; and
(2)
the unorganized militia, which consists of the members of the militia who are not members of the National Guard or the Naval Militia.
By the way. No, it is not legal. But by acquiescence, by giving consent, and blindly following edicts of government, and giving up one's freedoms and liberty, one empowers government to do as it will. If more people were to actually understand what freedom and liberty are, they would stand and ignore these edicts and decrees.
Now, think about this. The CDC issues, "guidance", for some arbitrary 6 foot distance limitation between people. And now? If you violate that "6 foot guidance" in some places, maybe nearly all places, you can now be arrested, or fined? Over some arbitrary guidance BS? Show me the law passed by any legislature giving an elected person the power to authorize such a thing.
A free people ignore unauthorized illegal edicts, decrees.
