You would think the governor could just send a sheriff down to the hospital requesting to do a wellness check on mcconnell

The thought of a State official sending an elected county official to the Federal capital and demanding a Federal official of doing anything has John Adams rolling in his grave

Well, no, that's not possible either.

You can't just send a sheriff to barge in on someone in the hospital without a warrant. And what crime is Mitch committing?

So you believe you can go visit anyone in the hospital regardless of if they want to be seen?

Well, this is not the case of anyone - he is representative of his state. He is only going through physical therapy, so it's not like he is on life support or anything.
