Y’all, Bill Barr is a very scary man.  According to Politico, he’s now asked for some extraordinary powers.

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.

I think there are a few liberals in congress who will howl.

Remember when Republicans used to talk about the Constitution?

Thanks to everybody for the heads up.

Thanks to Epp for the heads up.
