Let's start here, the destruction of the rule of law, an action essential to establishing an authoritarian or totalitarian state, began long before the arrival of the Trump administration.

The George W. Bush administrations invasion of Iraq and implementation of a doctrine of pre-emptive war were war crimes under international law. The federal governments ongoing wholesale surveillance of the citizenry, another legacy of the Bush administration, mocks our constitutional right to privacy.

The steady nullification of constitutional rights by judicial fiata legal trick that has enabled corporations to buy the electoral system in the name of free speechhas turned politicians from the two ruling parties into amoral tools of corporate power.

Lobbyists in Washington and the state capitals write legislation to legalize tax boycotts, destroy regulations and government oversight, pump staggering sums of money into the war machine and accelerate the largest upward transfer of wealth in American history, one that has involved looting the U.S.Treasury of trillions of dollars in the wake of the massive financial fraud that set off the 2008 economic collapse.

The ruling elites, by slavishly serving corporate interests, created a system of government that effectively denied the citizen the use of state power.

This decades-long disregard by the two major political parties for the rule of law and their distortion of government into a handmaiden for corporations set the stage for Donald Trumps naked contempt for legality and accountability.

At the center of this clown court is Trump, who, if the rule of law was in place, would have been impeached on his first day in office for violating the Constitutions emoluments clause; by violating that prohibition, this chief executive is raking in millions from officials of foreign governments and lobbyists who stay at his hotels and resorts and use his golf courses.
