the governors have too much power. when they can issue an open ended state of emergency declaration, basically making them dictators and keep renewing their own powers, and then on top of the suffering they're causing, cause MORE suffering by letting racist assholes run loose destroying towns and beating people up who dont yield.

The DOJ effectively dealt with governors violating basic civil rights all through the 1960s.

These current governors trampling the right to assemble and freedom of religion under arbitrary and capricious standards are low hanging fruit by that model.

Barr could have dealt with that months ago. He chose not to. I won’t forgive him for that failure.

They're still saying "trust the plan" because they'll never do anything, don't want to leave the comfort of their homes, don't want to risk their neck, and so it's easy to be lulled by the false prophet Q.

It’s called a federal action, and it involves an injunction.

For violation of Constitutionally-protected rights.

The DOJ has only been filing them since the 1940s.

Back in the 1960s they used men with guns.

You need to lobby to get your state Constitution amended.

I'd rather governors have too much power than Washington DC. The more local the govt the better. I'd go city/county level on as much stuff as is feasible.
