“We want no Gestapo or Secret Police. FBI is tending in that direction.” —Harry TrumanWith every passing day, the United States government borrows yet another leaf from Nazi Germany’s playbook: Secret police. Secret courts. Secret government agencies. Surveillance. Censorship. Intimidation. Harassment. Torture. Brutality. Widespread corruption. Entrapment. Indoctrination. Indefinite detention.These are not tactics used by constitutional republics, where the rule of law and the rights of the citizenry reign supreme. Rather, they are the hallmarks of authoritarian regimes, where secret police control the populace through intimidation, fear and official lawlessness on the part of government agents.That authoritarian danger is now posed...

Majewski a few months back, and I deferred for the time being, as there is no legal precedent or Amendment to the Constitution that addresses a recall to a Presidential election. We are barreling forward into uncharted...
