Damn

... does the GEO Group have the authority to deny entry by a government official, especially one investigating the possible outbreak of a deadly disease?
Fuck those evil bastards with a fencepost. Maybe if Susan Collins expressed her "concerns", they'd be more forthcoming.

... I think they're pushing the envelope, so to speak, to see how much they can get away with. This is corporate America on steroids and PCP; they don't want ANY constraints on their behavior, so as you observed, they're trying to set precedents. Whether they hold up in court or not doesn't matter; they will have muddied the waters enough to give them time to push the limits of tolerance even further. They want to provoke an uprising so they can justify imposing martial law, just as Trump has been threatening. They want Feudalism 2.0, and they'll kill to get it.
Remember Steve Bannon's strategy of "flooding the zone"? Corporatists are attacking the rule of law from every direction, and with a complicit judiciary, it's working, to a degree. A corrupt Supreme Court runs a flying wedge formation to cover them while they run roughshod over every principle of good governance this country ever aspired to.
It's always wise to remember that "Corporatism" is what Benito Mussolini preferred to call his form of government. And what is the Republicans favorite boogeyman of late? ANTIFA! Which is short for antifascism. The room-temperature IQs can't quite grasp that being AGAINST Antifa is, by definition, being FOR fascism. The dots connect themselves.

state media, kleptocracy in the open and now TB in the shadow prison system.
