Conservative activists encourage DOJ to sue governors, local leaders for coronavirus restrictions
The Conservative Action Project (CAP), a group comprised of conservative leaders from around the country, penned a letter to Attorney General William Barr asking the Justice Department to sue states governors for "rampant abuses of constitutional rights."
"We urge you to undertake immediate review of all the orders that have been issued by the states and local governments across the nation," the group wrote Friday.
"Although the orders are for the purpose of slowing the spread of the coronavirus, the nature and enforcement of the orders have increasingly raised serious concerns about violating the basic protections and rights guaranteed under the United States Constitution."
The letter lists several examples of their qualms, including "prohibitions on citizens’ rights to purchase firearms" and dubbing "the right to assemble in protests against state shelter-in-place orders" as a nonessential activity.
