Attorney General William P. Barr Monday ordered U.S. attorneys to consider legal action against governors whose efforts to prevent the spread of the coronavirus infringe upon Americans’ civil 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,” Mr. Barr wrote in a memo to all 93 U.S. attorneys.
Barr's record speaks for itself. He mumbled something about addressing the platform/publishing issue...but that was many months ago. He likes to talk but he's short on action.

Nothing will happen, fucking fire this guy already
Agree. Barr did what he was brought on to do: he stopped Mueller.
Since then he's been a dud. Time to move on.
You truly don't understand the trap that Trump laid with his CDC guidelines to the overreach by governors
Fine. Then kindly explain when the hammer is going to drop on the overreaching governors.
You have my full attention.
