IMO it comes down to:
1. Do you trust Gov to decide what constitutes a crisis big enough to violate liberty?
2. Would your answer change if your enemy was in power?
3. Does the Judicial Branch have the checks/balances at their disposal(unaltered even in crisis) to stop overreach? https://twitter.com/iamadamchristie/status/1248437638211698689

4: Do "the people" have a channel to hold State to account, were the Gov to grossly abuse power through an Emergency/War Act? In a functioning democracy/constitutional republic, you hope so. Though this begs further discussion on where a constitution & democracy can butt heads..

Hypothetical: wartime election. What if "the people" overwhelmingly vote for the guy who wants to violate constitutional rights FAR more than necessary? What if the majority dont care about liberty?A Parliamentary Sovereignty vs Constitutional Supremacy debate is where that leads

Crisis makes you realize the frailty, & complex living nature, of our systems. & When you see how many countries get it wrong..despite flaws, I do remain just in awe of the incredible foresight the Founding Fathers had. The US Constitution is a mind blowingly self-aware document.
