AG Barr Issues Order
AG Barr has taken an interest in the possibility that states may be violating their citizens’ rights with Stay-At-Home orders. And it is more than just a passing interest. On Monday Barr ordered federal prosecutors across the U.S. to identify coronavirus-related restrictions from state and local governments that may exceed constitutional bounds. Interestingly enough, along with the head of the Civil Rights Division, he assigned the US Attorney for the Eastern District of Michigan to coordinate these efforts. Governor Whitmer of Michigan has been one of the most dictatorial ones in restricting her citizens’ rights of speech and association. Was Barr sending a message?
