Let me see if I have this?
The Federal top justice guy wants to have his lawyers go after Governor’s and Mayors that are issuing executive orders to keep their citizens safe?
And he’s NOT kidding?
So if something develops and the judges asks a federal lawyer if they are trying stop people from being being safe?
WTF is that persons gonna say?
Oh, my boss, trying to make ‘his’ boss Trump happy, sent me to do this, which is to try to intimidate state and local officials ?
I doubt too many US attorneys are gonna mess with Governors or Mayor’s..
Attorney General William Barr on Monday directed federal prosecutors to “be on the lookout” for public health measures put in place amid the coronavirus pandemic that might be running afoul of constitutional rights.
In a two-page memorandum to the country’s 93 U.S. attorneys, Barr cautioned that some state and local directives could be infringing on protected religious, speech and economic rights.
“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,” Barr wrote
