Once Again, Trump Thumbs Nose at Rule of Law

Lawrence Tribe has nailed it here.

Trump’s use of the U.S. military against American citizens, functioning with no transparency and directed only by the president himself, is the same form of government that the world saw under Franco, Stalin, Hitler, and Mussolini.  It’s the polar opposite of a democratic republic, i.e., what the United States was before Trump’s ascension to a position of unchallenged and apparently absolute power.

If we haven’t already fallen into the abyss, we’re certainly teetering on the edge.
