Me too but it will take ^individual citizens^ to force the point.
The FBI will not take it up on its own.
Involuntary regulated entities, businesses, have no standing.
That is what Barr is signaling.
Only citizens are harmed by over-reach.

That said, I remain vigilant for my civil rights and my normal routine is not disrupted. As noted prior, I have the District FBI in my contacts (just happens to be the FDA mentioned in Barr’s Orders)

What a joke. Is he going to clean out his own cesspool of a department?

The conundrum here is that every order issued at the state and local level during this emergency would be unconstitutional during normal times.

Every single one.

Yet there is a wealth of precedent for such restriction of liberty through our history, even reaching back to English common law.

This begs the question: Is Barr going to prosecute every one of these jurisdictions? Or, is he going to allow a continuous gray to dominate black and white law?

Hell, that’s no law at all. That’s the rule of man.

We could see a McDonalds free to open in one town, yet DOJ looking the other way when a home hairdresser is jailed in another.

Our Founding Fathers designed check and balances. They designed an INEFFICIENT GOVERNEMENT.

Our government is way to efficient and many here want it to be efficient.

Words have meaning. look them up. Do we want an effective and efficient government? Maybe yes, maybe no?

They won’t have a problem with it because state and local governments beggars cup will be full they are milking the system for all it’s worth.
Never a limit of greed

I’ll take your questions as rhetorical if you don’t mind...

Thanks for weighing in with your well thought reply.

18USC242 provides PENALTIES for all involved of violation, right down to the individual officer who would likely use the “I was only following orders.” excuse or, the “greater public safety” canard. Rolled up into this would be the authority who enacted the order; the governor.

Paging President Trump, AG Barr and Governor LePage:

SOS!

We are under seige.

Please send MANG and Federal Marshals to round up and neutralize the Nazis terrorists in Augusta, who are rapidly destroying the State of Maine.

A year from today the MSM will be screaming that the Trump administration ruined the economy.

Give it a test by reporting violations of our rights to a US Attorney.

They have been instructed to prosecute people like dem governors such as Grabben Newsome.
