Prohibition?
But right, usually we have been able to trust the courts to be the last ditch safeguards of liberty against an abusive president +/or legislature. This bill should have been treated like FDR's National Recovery Act--overtly derided by justices and repudiated 9-0. But that was then, and the excesses of the New Deal have been sanitized and swallowed whole by the idiots of The Law. In our "Post-Constitutional Court" the NRA would be upheld today.
Prohibition was a bad LAW. I believe the original poster is referring to an actual tyranny - you know, like the one we have now where they can do whatever they want and Constitution be damned, and if the people complain, they just get the Court to say it’s all legit. Now, with that in mind, try a new answer.
