Pandemic Endangers American Political Activity, Self-Governance | The Daily Caller:

In a bid to slow its spread and, eventually, to halt the pandemic, government officials have declared states of emergencies, closed schools and issued mandatory stay-at-home orders. Still, some people want the government to go even further. For example, a law professor at Cornell University recently called on Congress to suspend habeas corpus so that the federal government can legally enforce a mandatory lockdown on all Americans. But others are concerned about the long-term impact that the government’s policies will have on the economy and Americans’ civil liberties. People across the country recently protested states’ stay-at-home orders and called on governors to re-open their economies immediately.
