Attorney General William Barr said Wednesday evening “other than slavery, which was a different kind of restraint,” coronavirus lockdowns were the “greatest intrusion on civil liberties in American history.”
Barr’s comments came during a Constitution Day celebration at Hillsdale College, commemorating the date in 1789 when the Constitution was signed by the Framers in Philadelphia.

There was that unpleasantness with the internment of Japanese Americans, but that affected fewer people than the lockdowns.
I admit that I make occasional snide comments about how slowly things are changing in the swamp. If they are changing at all. But I mostly try to be patient. I mostly respect AG Barr. I mostly hope for good things.
Summer ends next week. I’ll be heaping scorn on the man if nothing happens by Tuesday. I don’t need talk on any of these issues. I want action on something.
It is like slavery. And people are going along with it!
The other night on Hannity, Leo Terrell keep repeating that our civil liberties were being abused or taken away. Nobody was listening to him say this.
When I go to town, I feel like I’m imprisoned because of masks and all the rules written for the public to follow.
It was a good speech for sure.
Here’s an idea. How about somebody post an article that this fat, loser windbag actually prosecuted or fired somebody.
Well, there was that internment thing with Japanese-Americans during WWII...
Might add Jim Crow laws, the internment of Japanese Americans during WWII, and Wilson’s segregation of the armed forces. All Democrat led denials of basic liberty and equal rights under law.
Where are the indictments?
Either start rolling them out or resign today!
The completely arbitrary, ever-changing rules which seem designed to make sure we know that we are peasants and must jump through whatever hoops our lords and masters tell us to jump through? Those rules?
This used to be America.
120,000 vs. 330,000,000
“Well, there was that internment thing with Japanese-Americans during WWII...”
Oh, for corn’s sake. If you’re here and you’re not a troll, you should know better than that.
Given they are ever changing, you can be found guilty a any time, which is nice for them.
Restricted to your home, with exceptions for work, doctor visits, food shopping, and other essential travel vs. behind barbed wire with armed guards.
That was during a world war I believe and Japan attacked America killing some 2500 citizens for starters.
Well, this is something Barr and I are in complete agreement on. I bristle when I see people in masks. It is deeply offensive to me that I live in such a culture of easily led sheep. This does not bode well for our future.
It is like a form of slavery. And people are going along with it!

I am here, I have been here since 1998, and I am not a troll.
I'm sorry, but I think that the current lockdowns are the second greatest intrusion on Civil Liberties since slavery.
I'm old enough that I do know better.
There was that unpleasantness with the internment of Japanese Americans, but that affected fewer people than the lockdowns.
It’s not the internment that bothers me. It was that many of those people went home to find they had lost their homes and businesses. They were quite literally taken from them by some locals.
