Some states seem to offer clear oversight by the legislature in the form of either required re-authorization or direct oversight. Others seem to have no such checks. In theory this could lead to an endless state of emergency when ultimately the citizens should have indirect control over the risks they’re willing to trade their freedoms to stop.

There’s been very little pontification by Libertarian media. I’d love for CATO to fill the gap…
