Just a few months ago, Barr also created a pre-crime task force adding new agents and the ability to arrest people BEFORE they commit a crime. Straight up from the movie ‘minority report’.

Add in this request for power and you could have people being detained indefinitely without ever having broken the law.

I've gotta believe Lindsay Graham has his thumb in this pie. Maybe that's why he's been acting like Blumenthal's cock holster.

I do not trust our Federal Government and the entrenched democracy to act in the interest of the American public. I fully expect them to act in the interest of every grubbing, commie and terrorist nation on the planet while telling anyone who wants rational oversights and restrictions that they are racist, bigoted and sexist. I do not believe for a second that any Federal Law Enforcement is competent enough to tell the difference between a friend and a foe. They do not have the discernment or integrity to judge the difference between a real threat and some average America that just happens to agree with their lefty sacred cows.

Who decides what's an "emergency"? If you want to declare marshal law, just do so. No need to pretty it up.

That's commonly known as suspending the writ of habeas corpus, which happens during martial law. So if martial law comes, so does that. The Clintons and Obamas ... that would be nice, now wouldn't it?

As a BTW, how can trials be conducted when jurors have to be together in close quarters ?

It's OK, there's fewer than 50 of them.

Get arrested and then no judge on duty to grant bail for days or even weeks. End up stuck in a jail with no protections in place to prevent you from getting the Chinese virus from other infected people also caged up in there. Little if any medical treatment in jail thus you die in there. Fook everything about this pedes.

Do we have any names on who made this request? They need to be ejected from politics (and Earth). Was it Barr himself, or a proxy?

I believe the govt. already has that power. Under the patriot act (thanks, Bush) pretty much all of our rights are suspended in a national emergency. BTW, we,ve been in a state of national emergency since 9/11. Wait, it gets better: Obama tweaked the NDAA when it came up for renewal under his admin. that this unconstitutional power could be used EVEN if there isn't a national emergency. Some in the media questioned him on this, and he said he prob wouldn't sign it. In the eleventh hour, while we slept, HE DID.

I get their reasoning, but sorry, I don’t reason away my rights. We’re not suspending habeus corpus. If they want to detain someone then they can do it the old-fashioned way, there’s no need to suspend the constitution for that.
