Louisiana Attorney General Liz Murrill is right to open an investigation into Anthony Fauci for lying under oath, joining Alabama and Florida in exposing the former NIH director’s role in misleading the public on COVID origins and policies. Federal agencies shielded Fauci from real scrutiny, so states must step in to pursue potential state crimes tied to his deposition and Senate testimony. This is not political theater but a necessary correction after years of mandates that crushed livelihoods and liberties in the name of expert decree. The Constitution reserves to the states the power to enforce their own criminal laws against anyone within their borders, a direct check on the administrative state’s tendency to place officials above accountability. Limited government means no bureaucrat gets to rewrite science or policy with impunity while evading consequences that would apply to ordinary citizens. Federalism exists precisely to prevent the kind of centralized overreach Fauci embodied. States that refuse to defend their sovereignty will watch it vanish.
