Attorney General William Barr told federal prosecutors across the country to be on guard for overbearing state and local coronavirus measures

In a memo Monday, Barr called stay-at-home orders"necessary" but"tremendous burdens," and warned that the Justice Department could step in to fight policies that go too far.

Read MoreBut in an interview with conservative radio host Hugh Hewitt last week, Barr said that he has so far not seen a need for such a Justice Department move. The"best approach," Barr said, was for the Justice Department to file statements of interest and side with plaintiffs in individual lawsuits, like the department did earlier this month after a Mississippi church sued to overturn a municipal order that prohibited drive-in services.

He looks worn out! Maybe is is! Please get him out of there, he is a disaster

Uhhh...no, he can't. See the constitution

Uh.....ok....

Droppy

Mr. Barr, is it 'State's rights' or is it not? If the federal government can step in whenever it wants, then there is no argument for State's rights. You cannot have it both ways.

I'm...wow...Way to make a stand, Bill! Your poorly veiled threats against those who seek to protect our nation's population are unconscionable.

Cheer up Barr. I'm sure somebody cares.

GOOD!!!!

Good!!!👏👏👏👏 Nobody should overreach on American rights!!

Squirrel!

So do all non-Covid19,coronavirus people believe this is NOY left leaning or do y'all disagree with the statement from AG Barr

This is what his focus is on right now? Doesn’t even make any sense.

We have a FakePresident with realDonaldTrump If he was a true leader we’d have a nation-wide controls in place. State by state controls are a joke as we are allowed to travel state to state. Barr is just a big a joke as his boss.

What a jerk

Sure Barr get ppl back too soon so there will be a resurgence in the fall. More deaths. Barr then will work with trump to “postpone” election. After they sabotage mail in voting by killing post office.

Overbearing or life saving- 🧐

Only obvious, the country is reopening their doors for more victims to covid. ♀‍🤦🏼

Good man!!

Another possible Bigfoot sighting. Will Barr ever really do anything?

it's a witch hunt
