Sen. Marshall to introduce legislation ending COVID-19 national emergency declaration

Sen. Roger Marshall, R-Kan., plans to introduce legislation on Monday that aims to end the current COVID-19 national emergency declaration.The legislation is powered by a provision in the National Emergencies Act (NEA), a law that, when invoked, grants presidents special powers to deal with national emergencies outside natural disasters or war.
Marshall’s bill would revoke many of the federal government's expanded powers to respond to the pandemic on a national level.

There have only been six termination resolutions since the enactment of the NEA, and there are currently 31 national emergencies that have been in effect since the Carter administration.

"National emergencies" are the excuses for extra-constitutional (read: UNconstitutional) powers.

Not to mention money to throw around in an election year.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
