“I am long retired from the practice of law, did not retain a law library and do not subscribe to WestLaw or similar services.”

Since you were a lawyer, I would assume that you wouldn’t SHOOT OFF YOUR MOUTH without backup...but then you were a lawyer, so I guess I misjudged your integrity.

“If you happen to be right, I hope that when your mindless TRUMPNATION dictatorship arrives, you will have a good time before you are hauled off to a concentration camp.”

Concentration camp, spare us your PARANOIA. The last time that we had a president take control, only Japanese (rightly) ended up in camps, and they were far from what most people consider to be “concentration camps” and once the emergency was over, the country immediately returned back to normal. I don’t live cowering in fear of my government.

It is a proverbial statement of conservatism to say: I love my country, it's the government that I despise. Also, there were a lesser number of German-Americans and Italian-Americans who were interned in camps by FDR.

At the time, it seemed obvious that such German-Americans as Eisenhower and millions of others were thoroughly loyal Americans. FDR approached Lucky Luciano through Tom Dewey to get Mafia assistance in shutting down the flow of dangerous information from the East Coast docks. Luciano complied, was released from Attica and sent to an island off Italy as his personal prison. There were also millions of obviously loyal Italian-Americans.

Unfairly, the Japanese (the Nisei) were not as much trusted. All groups have their miscreants but the Japanese-Americans were generally exemplary citizens before and after the war. I did not care for the politics of the late Senator Daniel Inouye but no one can deny his heroism in Italy with the Rainbow Division of the US Army during the war in which he lost an arm assaulting a mountain peak to save some Congressman's son and about 100 others. More men died among the rescuers than the number they were sent to save.

Today, courtesy of the efforts of Douglas MacArthur, Japan is again a free country and a strong ally of the US ever since the end of the postwar occupation.

Paranoia? As my wife wisely observes, even paranoids have real enemies.

As to integrity, I hope mine is intact. I know that I am not infallible, however. If it turns out that you are right on Trump and that I am wrong, I will step right up, admit it and celebrate the fact. At the moment, I am not convinced that The Donald will be nominated or elected, much less prove that he has earned your confidence. Time will tell.
