Today, Washington Governor Inslee issued some unilateral rulings regarding gatherings, including relatives from out of state gathering with friends and relatives from out of state, requiring as I understand it, a two week quarantine before being allowed.
Here is a part of the US constution regarding interstate commerce:
Commerce clause, provision of the U.S. Constitution (Article I, Section 8) that authorizes Congress “to regulate Commerce with foreign Nations, and among the several States, and with Indian Tribes.” The commerce clause has traditionally been interpreted both as a grant of positive authority to Congress and as an .unique power to regulate travel between states.

"This spike puts us in a more dangerous a position as we were in March,” Inslee said during a press conference Sunday. “And it means, unfortunately, the time has come to reinstate restrictions on activities statewide to preserve the public’s well-being, and to save lives. These were very difficult decisions that have very real consequences to people’s livelihoods. I recognize that and don’t take those impacts lightly, but we must act now and act quickly to slow the spread of this disease.”
This act by a dictitorial governor is unconstutional. Look for federal lawsuits to be filed immediately.
