William Barr's Fascist Instincts Looking For Opportunities In The Pandemic - The Play Left, Even As This Happens, Are Trying To Spoil The Election For The Only Thing Standing Between Him And Enacting His Wet Dreams

The Justice Department has quietly asked Congress for the ability to ask chief judges to detain people indefinitely without trial during emergencies — part of a push for new powers that comes as the coronavirus spreads through the United States.

Documents reviewed by POLITICO detail the department’s requests to lawmakers on a host of topics, including the statute of limitations, asylum and the way court hearings are conducted. POLITICO also reviewed and previously reported on documents seeking the authority to extend deadlines on merger reviews and prosecutions.

William Barr is a fascist, he has been a fascist his entire adult life, fascism is the real name for his "Federalism" as in "Federalist Society".   While everyone was being nice and not calling it what it was, they were gaining strength, remember all of those asses who said "The first person who says 'fascist' loses,"  well, they were enabling this. 

The move has tapped into a broader fear among civil liberties advocates and Donald Trump’s critics — that the president will use a moment of crisis to push for controversial policy changes. Already, he has cited the pandemic as a reason for heightening border restrictions and restricting asylum claims. He has also pushed for further tax cuts as the economy withers, arguing that it would soften the financial blow to Americans. And even without policy changes, Trump has vast emergency powers that he could legally deploy right now to try and slow the coronavirus outbreak.

And as Majority Report and The Young Turks and In These Times and the rest of the abominable play-left slam the Democratic Party and try to drive down the chances of Democrats winning the election in November, consider this.

The DOJ requests — which are unlikely to make it through a Democratic-led House — span several stages of the legal process, from initial arrest to how cases are processed and investigated.

In one of the documents, the department proposed that Congress grant the attorney general power to ask the chief judge of any district court to pause court proceedings “whenever the district court is fully or partially closed by virtue of any natural disaster, civil disobedience, or other emergency situation.”
