newspunch--2020-03-22--DOJ Has Quietly Asked Congress to Suspend Our Constitutional Rights During  Coronavirus Crisis

The Department of Justice has secretly asked Congress to pass legislation suspending our constitutionally-protected rights during the coronavirus response , according to reports .
The draft legislation has been described as ” absolutely terrifying ” by constitutional law experts , who point out that emergencies are exactly the time we should be most careful about retaining our constitutional rights .
The new laws would allow a raft of unconstitutional activity from the government , including allowing chief judges to indefinitely detain Americans without trial and suspend other constitutional rights during coronavirus and other emergencies , according to a report by @ @ @ @ @ @ @ “ I find it absolutely terrifying .
Especially in a time of emergency , we should be very careful about granting new powers to the government.
” RollingStone report : The DOJ has requested Congress allow any chief judge of a 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 , ” according to draft language obtained by Politico .
This would be applicable to “ any statutes or rules of procedure @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , trial , and post-trial procedures in criminal and juvenile proceedings and all civil processes and proceedings.
” They justify this by saying currently judges can pause judicial proceedings in an emergency but that new legislation would allow them to apply it “ in a consistent manner.
” But the Constitution grants citizens habeas corpus which gives arrestees the right to appear in front of a judge and ask to be released before trial .
Enacting legislation like the DOJ wants would essentially suspend habeas corpus indefinitely until the emergency ended .
Further @ @ @ @ @ @ @ statute of limitations on criminal investigations and civil proceedings during the emergency until a year after it ended .
Norman L. Reimer , executive director of the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers , told Politico the measure was “ terrifying , ” saying , “ Not only would it be a violation of [ habeas corpus ] , but it says ‘ affecting pre-arrest.
’ So that means you could be arrested and never brought before a judge until they decide that the emergency or the civil disobedience is over .
I @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a time of emergency , we should be very careful about granting new powers to the government.
” “ That is something that should not happen in a democracy , ” he added .
DOJ also asked Congress to amend the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure to have defendants appear at a hearing via videoconference instead of in-person with the defendant ’ s consent , although in a draft obtained by Politico , the sections about requiring consent were crossed out .
But it ’ s not just Americans ’ rights the DOJ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Congress to pass a law saying that immigrants who test positive for COVID-19 can not qualify as asylum seekers .

NPR reported:
The law contains a section that authorizes the president to control the production and distribution of scarce materials deemed “essential to the national defense.” In his executive order, Trump specifically cites protective equipment (presumably face masks) and ventilators as meeting the criteria in this provision.
On Thursday, Vice President Mike Pence said, “We’ve extended the liability protection so now all the industrial masks that are manufactured as N95s are now available to hospitals, and we’re seeing a dramatic increase in production.”

‘Not only that – we should be physically separating a bit more on those press conferences.’
Dr. Anthony Fauci at a press briefing on Friday. He said telling Trump ‘things he doesn’t want to hear’ was a ‘risky business’
The top immunologist said that he was pushing for the White House to adopt virtual press conferences to avoid briefings crowded with experts, politicians and journalists – contradicting official advice to not to gather in groups of above ten people.
He said that he would never call refer to COVID-19 as the ‘Chinese virus’ as Trump has done – which critics have condemned as racist.
His remarks, the latest in a string of public rebukes against the president, combined with his absence from Sunday’s White House press briefing on the coronavirus have fueled speculation of tension between the two men.
The doctor discussed the president’s claim that China should have warned the US two or three months before they publicly announced the sequence of the development of coronavirus.
‘The way it happened is that after he made that statement [suggesting China could have revealed the discovery of a new coronavirus three to four months earlier], I told the appropriate people, it doesn’t comport, because two or three months earlier would have been September,’ he said.
The virus was only discovered in late December.
He continued: ‘The next time they sit down with him and talk about what he’s going to say, they will say, by the way, Mr. President, be careful about this and don’t say that.
‘But I can’t jump in front of the microphone and push him down. OK, he said it. Let’s try and get it corrected for the next time.’
Fauci’s absence at Sunday’s coronavirus press briefing sparked curiosity into his whereabouts on Twitter amid speculation that he had been banished from the White House.
One user joked that he was being punished for ‘disagreeing that blow driers aren’t a cure for COVID-19.’
His comments come just one day after he admitted he has been ‘walking a fine line’ by publicly contradicting Trump in an interview with the New York Times.
