When Thomas Massie Is Your Mic Drop 🎤

Federalizing the National Guard without consulting the state’s governor. Sending in military troops to do law enforcement without even a color of law rationale. Authorizing federal law enforcement to kidnap people while wearing masks, carrying arms, and showing no indication of authority. Denying those seized access to family or lawyers, in effect “disappearing” them as was done in El Salvador 50 years ago (the present day connection between the Administration and that country cannot be dismissed as coincidence).

All of this undermining the rule of law is precisely leads to the protests happening in cities across the country.

  1. Our Constitution might prohibit such things, but long experience, especially recently, suggests that it can't prevent them.

  2. The Constitution can’t prevent anything. Only people can. Aye, there’s the rub.
