Colorado declares a state of emergency... look at the powers the governor has ! As an unhappy resident of Colofornia , this one has me a bit worried. Seems like an opening for a despot to come to power. "Polis’ powers include but are not limited to: Using the Colorado National Guard to carry out orders Direct an evacuation of any area Commandeer any private property Suspend selling of alcoholic beverages, firearms and explosives Unilaterally order the buying or taking of medicines and vaccines Order physicians and hospitals to take or stop taking patients Issue a quarantine of a person or property Destroy objects that threaten public health Determine how to safely dispose of corpses Provide up to $5,000 to impacted families Change how state business is conducted Relocate the seat of government" Does POTUS have any powers to stop an over reach by a would be dictator?
