Thank you for continuing to be the voice of reason crying in the wilderness. Another absurd justification of injustice it's the "it's only temporary" clause. Nowadays, this can easily be dismissed by quoting "15 days to flatten the curve," but even without the fact that temporary government restrictions seem to always extend well past their expiry date, the temporary clause is no justification.

If I told a police officer who pulled me over for speeding that I was only temporarily speeding, would I still get a ticket? If a rapist told the judge he was only abusing his victims temporarily, is he still guilty? If you answered yes to any of these, then why would you allow the government to abuse people because the abuses are supposed to be for a limited time only? Not ok now; not ok ever.
