    When it comes down to it, Governors have immense power over their states, and can, if warranted, shut their states down. It's inherent in the 10th amendment which is likely why so many democrats know nothing about it. But lots of us understand just what governors can do, and as the federal response has demonstrated is very dependent on their decisions. The sad part, for NY and its residents is that their governor was more interested in looking for the nation to lead him. In the places where Cuomo could have acted, he didn't.

    You have not made any kind of meaningful argument.

    Saying anything to a Trump worshiper is a waste of time

    The Governors simply filled the void created by the administration.

    This is precisely the situation many feared with the President shooting holes in his credibility early on.

    Projecting the SHORTCOMINGS of the criminal IMPOTUS onto others is disingenuous.

    Ironic PROJECTION coming from someone who knows nothing whatsoever about the topic of the Port Authority.

    Once again the VAPID CONTENT of your posts DISQUALIFIES you from any further meaningful interaction as far as I am concerned.

    Have a nice day!

    You could just cut/paste that for all that poster's replies on this forum.

    To the topic, don't be fooled by the Complex/MSM blowjob machine that fluffs statist/Complex hacks like Cuomo. They will prime the pump anyway, but know full well he's not remotely electable. They are simply out of options these days. Good.

    Port Authority make the decisions on the ports within their area of responsibility including airports. They must comply with federal regulations. Therefore, unless they are violating federal regulations they can forbid entry of people within their area of responsibility. If for some reason, they believe they are violating the federal regulations, they could go to the feds and ask for a decision. Cuomo did no such thing. He just set on his fat butt.

    How? Cuomo could have ordered the shutdown of every airport in his state. He could have ordered that travelers quarantine themselves and report through the NY state police or other agencies to ensure that they weren't brining the virus to their doors.. He could have done all of those things. But, he didn't. And the citizens of NY re now paying the price for his inaction.

    Someone else who doesn't understand the REALITY of how FEDERAL PORTS of ENTRY function and the LIMITATIONS of State Authority when it comes RESTRICTIONS on the Individual RIGHT to Freedom of Movement.

    Sad!

    i understand them quite well. Cuomo could have done those things, but he didn't. TX gov Abbot just did those things. CA Gov Newsome is kind of trying to do those things. Mayor of LA Garcetti is doing those things... Try again.....

    Obviously you have never been to NYC or have any concept of what is involved when it comes to attempting to control access to the city.

    I assume that since Cuomo does live there, as governor, he should know those things. He has all fo the inherent power to accomplish those things, but he didn't. And. frankly. still hasn't. He sure spends a lot of time blaming other folks though. I bet that makes folks who are now directly in harms way because of his failures feel better...

    Ad hominems shows me you are defeated before you even start your arguments.

    Trump did restrict travel from china early and people like you called him a racist and cnn issued breaking news - ‘trump creates chaos after restricting travel from europe’

    Trump was early, governors late, especially cuomo.

    and you are 100% wrong, not partly wrong, 100% wrong. Notice how washington state took control, it was state taking actions early. Look around, governors are the ones issuing stay at home orders, ordering businesses to close completely or close early. Cuomo took action, but was too late and he is 100% responsible for NY disaster, he had so much power and broad authority to shut things down and even implement curfews.

    but his beautiful words brainwash people like you and of course, since he is a democrat, he cannot be held accountable or blamed for anything.

    NY disaster is 110% cuomo’s fault, he, as governor had all the authority and power to take drastic measures early but he didn’t. FACT, IRREFUTABLE.

    The mayor of New Orleans had and has the authority to shut down Mardi Gras, but she didn't. Of course who do voodoo would have killed her.

    You obviously don't understand the definition of ad hom and then you went DOWNHILL from there!

    Regurgitating DEBUNKED extremist rightwing DISINFORMATION above only damages what little is left of your credibility!

    Sad!

    YOUR criminal IMPOTUS was AWARE of the potential for the Pandemic from the OUTSET of his REGIME so he is LYING when he pretends that "no one knew about it". He had AMPLE OPPORTUNITY to PREPARE for it and did SQUAT!

    https://edition.cnn.com/2020/03/15/politics/fact-check-trump-coronavirus-nobody-predicted/index.html

    Blaming governors for your criminal IMPOTUS's FAILURE to do his sworn duty to protect America seems to be all that his supporters have left now!

    SAD!
