All you really have to read is what's quoted. But again, look up National Emergencies Act (NEA). Basically Trump can do whatever the fucck he wants to do. Now wondering if he has the balls to do it..... this is the same MOFO that came out the gate abusing power by doing executive orders on the travel bans which were purely unconstitutional. He has proven he is willing to abuse power. What he's doing to New York is actually criminal right now.
If Laurence Tribe says he can’t, he can’t. Period.

the first US case was discovered in Washington on 1/19. Ask her her feelings about Inslee.
I sent an email but quick research makes it hard to see what would be expected of Inslee in January/February.

One person caught COVID-19 in Wuhan, flew into the USA without symptoms, and was diagnosed in Washington on January 19th. He was held in the hospital for two weeks for treatment (with no apparent transfer to hospital staff) and after recovering was then sent home to isolate. There was a full month between his case and the 2nd case, which occurred in a different county. A week after the 2nd case, when the first death occurred on Feb. 29th, Gov. Inslee immediately declared a state of emergency.

I would think that Inslee's actions over the next month in March would be relevant. But until then, seeing as he's not an expert on infectious disease and COVID-19 was brand new and little understood (it wasn't even named until Feb. 11th), wouldn't Washington simply have been following the direction of the CDC and wouldn't those directions have been carried out by the hospital involved according to the department of health? It would make little sense for Inslee to insert himself in there and make a practical decision at odds with their suggestion, so unless he did that what more would there be to say?
