The Justice Department is using the COVID-19 outbreak to press for sweeping new powers that include being able to detain Americans indefinitely without a trial, Politico reports.
The department is asking Congress to allow the U.S. attorney general to ask courts to suspend court proceedings. These include "any statutes or rules of procedure otherwise affecting pre-arrest, post-arrest, pre-trial, trial, and post-trial procedures in criminal and juvenile proceedings and all civil process and proceedings," reports Betsy Woodruff Swan, citing DOJ documents presented to Congress.
As the virus moderates here; 44 new cases today versus 118 yesterday, the Left realizes its getting late to move the US to Martial Law, so they'll try now. I've written to the President and my Republican Senator asking him to lift the advisory before that happens. Let him and your reps know that's how you feel now.
