He obviously doesnt understand their 21st century purpose is to control Americans. Not liberate them.

FTA:

“Barr appointed Eric Dreiband, Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights, and Matthew Schneider, the U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Michigan, to lead the efforts.”

Note: the U. S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Michigan. Looks like they’re going after the Witch of Michigan first.

Maybe if he plays the bagpipes to Vogon poetry, they’ll give up and beg him to stop. Other than that, I’m not holding my breath on him or his “justice” department doing anything other than selling more wolf tickets.

Thank God! I saw that a federal judge in IL just slapped down their governor and said that he had exceeded his legal powers and was acting unconstitutionally. This was in response to a suit brought by a citizen.

Some of the governors need to be in prison.

If that’s the best we will see against our felonious domestic enemies, I’d like to see him use bagpipes against Schitthead.

I am reluctant to defend Barr but he did go after that mayor in Mississippi who banned drive-in church.

I am not going to start to say that I agree with the shelter in place. But Barr has a really uphill battle as there, to my knowledge, is only one court judgement that was specifically involving the situation with one person. And that is going to be appealed so it may be tossed depending on which court it goes to.

Fed court in Cali has closed churches.

https://www.dhillonlaw.com/gish-v-newsom/

... there is no “plain, palpable invasion” of Plaintiffs’ free exercise of religion. While Plaintiffs are unable to gather together in-person, they are free to gather virtually or over the phone. They are also free to gather in-person with the members of their household. They remain free to practice their religion in whatever way they see fit so long as they remain within the confines of their own homes.

Similar in Pennsylvania Supreme Court, but churches are bit players in that suit.
