【美国真相】纽约郡长：我们保护宪法，拒绝执行防疫令！_风闻

导读：作为美国疫情重灾区的纽约州，同时也是防疫“标兵”。最近不但出现越来越多参加“新冠派对”的新冠敢死队。而且，还首次出现几个郡长共同反对州长防疫令的情况（类似情况此前已发生在“红州蓝市”中）。以下是美媒CNN的报道。

在纽约州州长安德鲁·库莫（Andrew Cuomo）颁布一项行政命令限制感恩节聚会人数的不到不到一周的时间里，几位上州警长表示他们计划无视这一命令。

Cuomo的命令将纽约居民的私人住宅人数限制为10人。

他在推特上说：“纽约遵循科学。我们知道室内聚会和聚会是COVID传播的主要来源。为减慢传播速度，纽约市将把私人住宅的室内聚会限制为10人。这一限制在星期五晚上10点生效。” 11月11日。

两天后，奥尔巴尼（纽约州府）附近的郡长开始反对这项措施。

富尔顿县郡长向CNN解释了他的立场

撰写新闻稿之一的富尔顿县谢里夫·理查德·贾迪诺（Fulton County Sherriff Richard Giardino）向CNN的Brianna Keilar解释了为什么他也不会执行Cuomo的命令。

他说：“我认为宪法不允许侵犯您自己家里的人数。” “他有权做很多事情，但不能告诉执法人员进入某人的房屋并计算谁在那儿。

“我作为治安官的立场是我对州长宣誓相同……我对州长的意图没有任何问题……在这种情况下要做最好的事情，但是作为一名宪法官员，我有义务让我县选民遵守该法律。”他说。

贾尔迪诺（Giardino）在与一位担心让儿子在假期访问中遇到麻烦的资深人士交谈后写了这篇文章。贾尔迪诺说，库莫的命令不允许警察罚款或逮捕任何人。

“我的意思是，这使我的社区感到不寒而栗，执法部门将敲门，计算人数并逮捕他们。”

其他县也有相同的看法

另外两个郡长在其部门的Facebook页面上也有类似的感受。

伊利县郡长蒂莫西·霍华德（Timothy B. Howard）周一说：“我没有计划利用办公室的资源或警员来打破感恩节晚餐的悠久传统。” “我的办公室将尊重您的房屋和传统的圣洁，我鼓励您全心全意，以负责任的态度行事，并为您的家人做最有益的事情。”

同样，萨拉托加县郡长迈克尔·祖罗（Michael Zurlo）质疑如何合理利用员工。

他在新闻稿中说：“我看不到我们如何将资源用于计数公民车道上的汽车或调查他们购买了多少火鸡和衣服是为了公共利益。”

新闻稿说，该部门不同意政府可以决定一个人在感恩节能招待多少客人。声明敦促每个人都遵守指导原则，如果生病了，请留在家中。

“我鼓励大家采取负责任的行动，”祖罗总结道。

Cuomo的办公室对回应进行了评论。

“从政者像政客一样行事，无视真正的专家的说法助长了这种病毒的传播，而这首先使这个国家陷入了这场持续的公共卫生危机。我们敦促每个人继续保持聪明和采取负责任的行动。我们知道，这会使人们感到不高兴，但使人更不高兴则是患病或更糟，”州长高级顾问Rich Azzopardi在给CNN的一份声明中说。

Less than a week after New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo instilled an executive order limiting the number of people at Thanksgiving gatherings, several upstate sheriffs say they plan to ignore it.

Cuomo’s order limits the number of people New York residents can have in their private homes to 10.

“New York follows the science. We know indoor gatherings and parties are a major source of COVID spread. To slow the spread, NYS will limit indoor gatherings at private residences to 10 people. This limit takes effect Friday at 10pm,” he tweeted on November 11.

Two days later, sheriffs around Albany started speaking against the measure.

Fulton County sheriff explains his position to CNN

Fulton County Sherriff Richard Giardino, who wrote one of the news releases, explained to CNN’s Brianna Keilar why he is also not going to enforce Cuomo’s order.

“I don’t think the Constitution allows for the infringement on the number of people in your own home,” he said. “He has authority to do a lot but not to tell law enforcement to get into someone’s house and count who is there.

“My position as a sheriff is that I took the same oath the governor did… and I don’t take any issue with the governors intent… to do what is best under the circumstances, but as a constitutional officer I have an obligation to the constituents in my county to follow that law,” he said.

Giardino wrote the post after he spoke to a veteran concerned about getting his son in trouble over a holiday visit. Giardino said Cuomo’s order doesn’t allow police to fine or arrest anyone.

“What I’m saying is, it sends a chill into my community that law enforcement is going to knock on their door, count the number of people, and arrest them.”

Other counties echo the same sentiments

Two other sheriffs shared similar feelings on their departments’ Facebook pages.

“I have no plans to utilize my office’s resources or Deputies to break up the great tradition of Thanksgiving dinner,” Erie County Sheriff Timothy B. Howard said Monday. “My office will respect the sanctity of your home and traditions, and I encourage you to follow your heart and act responsibly, as well as do what’s best for your family.”

Likewise, Saratoga County Sheriff Michael Zurlo questioned how it would be a good use of employees.

“I can’t see how devoting our resources to counting cars in citizens’ driveways or investigating how much turkey and dressing they’ve purchased is for the public good,” he said in a press release.

The release said the department’ does not agree that government can decide how many guests someone may have for Thanksgiving. The statement urged everyone to follow guidelines and stay home if sick.

“I encourage everyone to act responsibly,” Zurlo concluded.

Cuomo’s office commented on the responses.

“Politicians acting like politicians and ignoring what the actual experts say has been fueling the spread of this virus and is what plunged this country into this continued public health crisis in the first place. ‎We urge everyone to continue to be smart and act responsibly. We know this makes people unhappy, but better unhappy then sick or worse,” Rich Azzopardi, the governor’s senior adviser, said in a statement to CNN.

“真探”评论：一向“乖巧服帖”的郡长，在疫情高涨且大选后这个时间点联合“反叛”，而且农村恰好又是“川粉”的势力范围，透露出“川粉”浓浓的报复意味。
