'If 'liberty' Republicans like Massie and Paul speak out for localism and against federal overreach on every other issue, why are they taking such a strong stand against local health codes in the midst of a pandemic...' nsarwark writes

It’s no surprise that the Big Board got their liquor license suspended for violating COVID-19 ordinances, nor that they got inspected by the Health Department, since theythat they had no intentions of complying with the rules.

Libertarians believe in maximizing personal choice and individual self-determination as long as you are not harming other people. That also means minimizing government laws and regulations to only those necessary to prevent people from harming others—and holding them accountable for violations of those laws and regulations.
