Habeas corpus isn’t the issue here. It’s 1st / 5th / 14th amendment issues:
- 1st: Right to peacefully assemble
- 14th “nor shall any state deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law”
5th has similar text to 14th.
To be clear: I’m not arguing that the various govts. can’t impose quarantines or isolation orders, I’m just outlining which parts of the constitution are relevant to the legal questions.
