Congressman Warns: "I'm Seeing No Discussions About Limits Of State & Federal Power"

• https://www.zerohedge.com, by Adam Dick

Limiting international travel, prohibiting people from eating or drinking in restaurants and bars, imposing curfews, ordering "nonessential" businesses shut, and banning gatherings of more than a certain number of individuals are among the mandates governments have put in place in the name of fighting coronavirus.

This has all happened while extraordinary danger from coronavirus is not established and government actions being imposed, which carry health dangers of their own, tend not to be clearly helpful for countering what danger there may be from coronavirus.

However, not everyone in government is doing the coronavirus Chicken Little dance. United States House of Representatives member Thomas Massie (R-KY), who also is an Advisory Board member for the Ron Paul Institute, has been pretty much saying "hold on there guys" to fellow politicians who are rushing to disrespect the liberty of Americans in the name of countering coronavirus.

In a new video interview with host Duke Pesta at The New American, Massie strongly cautions against efforts to increase government power, and to restrict individuals' exercise of liberty, in response to the virus du jour. Massie's position contrasts with that of other politicians in Washington, DC. Among them, Massie declares in the interview, "there are almost no discussions about the limits of state and federal power."
