Alabama Attorney General Steve Marshall sent a letter Thursday to U.S. House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., on behalf of himself and 15 other state attorneys general. Marshall’s letter, which pertains to Biden administration policy on COVID-19, is important on its own merits, insofar as what it urges the new Congress to do. The letter also is more broadly significant insofar as the spotlight it helpfully shines on the insatiable desire of the American ruling class to govern via perpetual crisis.
