BOOM! US Attorney General Goes After Tyrannical Governors Infringing on Civil Rights - Think Americana

Americans are fed up with these lockdown orders. We have been extremely patient, even having our rights trampled upon by government overreach from governors and mayors. Enough is enough.

Finally, some of the restrictions are being lifted, but not everywhere. Some states are already opened up and some are announcing that they're staying shut down for another month.

I spoke with a mother in Arizona who stood in her pantry crying because she didn't know how she was going to feed her kids. Her husband's job dealt with shipping freight and has all but vanished. On top of that, the governor of Arizona extended the stay-at-home orders even further.

No more are we going to allow our rights to be stepped on. Fortunately, many have stood up with us including Attorney General William Barr who is stepping in to take action against those leaders acting in a tyrannical manner. They are going to be held accountable for violating our civil rights.

Barr wrote a memo to the 93 U.S. attorneys which said, “If a state or local ordinance crosses the line from an appropriate exercise of authority to stop the spread of COVID-19 into an overbearing infringement of constitutional and statutory protections, the Department of Justice may have an obligation to address that overreach in federal court.”

Mr. Barr also directed Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights Eric Dreiband and U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Michigan Matthew Schneider to monitor state and local policies for potential violations.

The two officials will work with state and local governments as well as other federal agencies, according to the memo. They will be on the alert for coronavirus response policies that restrict free speech or religious liberty as well as other constitutional rights.

“Many policies that would be unthinkable in regular times have become commonplace in recent weeks, and we do not want to unduly interfere with the important efforts of state and local officials to protect the public. But the Constitution is not suspended in times of crisis,” Mr. Barr wrote.

“We must therefore be vigilant to ensure its protections are preserved, at the same time that the public is protected,” he continued.

Throughout the pandemic, Mr. Barr has been outspoken against coronavirus restrictions, which he has described as “draconian.” The Justice Department this month filed a statement of interest siding with a Mississippi church that filed a lawsuit to overturn a local directive banning drive-in religious services.

I knew it would only be a matter of time before there would be many lawsuits against many levels of government.
