Ahem, it is exactly what Scalia said should be done and it is what this country worked under until 1964.
Bring back what our Founders, Abraham Lincoln, and even FDR and Eisenhower said was right.
I don’t believe that’s what Trump is intending - he wants his critics to be silenced under threat of retribution. We already have plenty of evidence to support this. He threatened to sue Ted Cruz for running an ad with video of him proclaiming Trump’s support of partial birth abortion - nothing defamatory about it at all - the clip was not edited to make him say anything he did not actually say. He called for the FCC to silence a critic. He also supports having the government take away people’s private property and give it to him simply because he wants it for himself to build something of his own and strongly supports the Kelo decision which cemented this practice. I certainly hope my fears eventually prove to be unfounded, but all of this and more establishes an extraordinarily troubling pattern.
I left out of my above post #227 regarding Trump’s lawsuit against someone who wrote a book that underestimated Trump’s net worth - he claimed damages of $5 billion in the suit (which of course he lost)...just more to go along with that troubling pattern...suing someone for damages because someone claimed you “only” had $250 million and that this inaccurate claimed had severely damaged his reputation to the tune of $5 billion.
