I’ve done a fair bit of reading over the years about that period
but that particular name didn’t ring a bell so I did a little research.

Inspiring. Thank you
Thank you for that.
These are times when men of courage and string moral courage are also necessary.
Since it appears democrats are using Hitler's playbook we need to watch for this type of legislation if they take the House and Senate they'll pull this trick - forewarned is forearmed...
Nazi Germany Between 1933 and 1945, the Nazi government established a large number of Sondergerichte that were frequently used to prosecute those hostile to the regime. The People's Court was a kangaroo court established in 1934 to handle political crimes after several of the defendants at the Reichstag fire Trial were acquitted. Between 1933 and 1945, an estimated 12,000 Germans were killed on the orders of the "special courts" set up by the Nazi regime.[23]
