Barr says calls for coronavirus lockdown are the 'greatest intrusion on civil liberties'
Source: CNN
(CNN)Attorney General William Barr suggested on Wednesday that the calls for a nationwide lockdown to prevent the spread of the coronavirus were the "greatest intrusion on civil liberties" in history "other than slavery."
The comments came minutes after he slammed the hundreds of Justice Department prosecutors working beneath him, equating them to preschoolers, in a defense of his own politically tuned decision making in the Trump administration.
Addressing a Constitution Day celebration hosted by Hillsdale College, the event's host asked Barr to explain the "constitutional hurdles for forbidding a church from meeting during Covid-19."
The question lead Barr into a four-minute response where he said state governors were using their executive powers to stifle citizens and businesses from going back to work.

Then he should have gone to Sturgis... freedumb gone wild.
Many people said it was a killer of an event.
comic book stories were the exploits of The Spectre in Adventure Comics. It was pure ultraviolent wish-fulfillment power-tripping that I'm kind of ashamed of now. But at the time I reveled in this ghostly avenger, beyond mortal harm and with unlimited magical abilities, tracking down the worst evildoers wherever they might hide and making them suffer the most ghoulish fates imaginable.
Being a comic book, these deaths were usually morbidly goofy--a hairdresser snipped in two by a giant pair of scissors; a crystal-ball wielding psychic turned into glass and shattered; a neo-nazi submarine commander devoured by a giant squid; a thug turned into a wooden statue and run through a sawmill's blades; another thug's skull cleaved in twain by the axe of a tiny toy viking made life-size. Sometimes they were less elaborate, such as the goons below (their car picked up and hurled into the stratosphere, burning up on re-entry) or the gunman who was simply made to dissolve, shrieking for mercy that never came as he melted into a puddle of goo.
Years later, I found myself fantasizing quite often about what I would do with that power and that mission. Don't judge me too harshly; that was during the Cheney/Handpuppet administration. Then they went away and I let it go.
I've started doing it again lately. That sawmill comes to mind a lot, but I also think about the viking's axe, or the one in which a murdering old creep is transformed into a mannequin and tossed into a burning trash heap.
Can't imagine why.
but at least they didn't have to wear facemasks when near other people.
(hopefully needless to say:
