And now the DOJ wants to suspend constitutional rights. I never trusted William Barr. Deep down, he's an anti-gunner.

I don't have a problem with the POTUS imposing border restrictions during the emergency. I didn't have a problem before the emergency with tightening border security. That is part of the way US citizens are protected.
The smacks of the Alien & Sedition Acts, Lincoln's suspension of writs of habeaus corpus, the espionage act of 1917, FDR's Executive Order 9066 and the FISA court.
Republicans should learn to be careful what they ask for because they may get it. Then when the democrats are in power, all hell breaks loose.
Article 1, section 9 of the constitution says in part:
"The Privilege of the Writ of Habeas Corpus shall not be suspended, unless when in Cases of Rebellion or Invasion the public Safety may require it."
I don't see where it says anything about a plague.
