Politico is reporting a story we referenced yesterday from Rolling Stone. It appears that the Department of Justice is seeking authority to detain people without trial, among other liberties.
The request raised eyebrows because of its potential implications for habeas corpus — the constitutional right to appear before a judge after arrest and seek release.

Yesterday, I reported it as a crazy story which must be mistaken, but we now have a second media outlet claiming it’s true and there is no denial from the Department of Justice.
I still think this is an incomplete report.
It appears that, if this is true, the administration is expecting some serious unrest over this virus.
DETAIN INDEFINITELY
According to Politico, the DOJ has asked congress for the ability to request Chief Judges to detain people indefinitely without trial during emergencies.
“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.
The department also asked Congress to pause the statute of limitations for criminal investigations and civil proceedings during national emergencies, “and for one year following the end of the national emergency,” according to the draft legislative text.
There was no comment from the Justice Department.
This is a crisis situation, but the Department of Justice is also dangerous. On the other hand, without these powers, these criminals might get right out of prison. This is only going to make the President look like the dictator the left claims he is.
What do you think about this?
Barr over the past year has been fully exposed as a corrupt establishment agent. He actually argues in court for Hillary to not release emails or be deposed! Judicial Watch has been opposed in court on all Hillary matters by the DOJ. And of course he is against FISA reform. He is a very dangerous person. Unfortunately we have a very weak senate leader. Last week he told members to just vote for the house bill, and his members have now rebuked him for recklessness. Who knows what is in the bill. This may be in there.
Who decides? You’ve been looking at Independent Sentinel a little too much comrade then a dark sedan pulls up in the middle of the night.
This needs to be nipped in the bud because it is getting out of control with the salivating control freaks looking to reshape a representative republic into something that it was never meant to be.
We don’t toss out the foundation of our republic because of a crisis that will pass.
Everyone playing right into the hands of the enemedia with all the panic buying was disheartening to see as well.
I just keep quiet when out and about and people have masks that are completely worthless. The grocery store parking lot is littered with sterile gloves and Kleenex.
How did these people make it this far in life?
Depends on who they intend to arrest and hold “indefinitely.” If its Soros,Hilary,Biden,Pelosi, Schumer, Schiff, Bloomberg its fine with me. They are all agents of the CCP and are intent on overthrowing the Republic.
It appears thy are preparing for anarchy, but their track records of abuse, makes me very skeptical putting this type of power in their hands.
the 2011National Defense Authorization Act in sections 1031 and 1032, authorizes the government to arrest and indefinitely hold people, including US citizens, without a trial. When Obama signed it into law he joked about the new power he had. So folks, “1984” is here.
