Enemy Minefield

“In demanding that the attorney general go after his enemies, Donald Trump is upending fundamental norms of fairness and neutrality in the American legal system.” Paul Rosenzweig in The Atlantic (Gift Article): A Most Profound Transgression. “The gravest sin here is not so much that Trump has an enemies list and that he is issuing kingly orders of retribution. It is that not a single elected Republican seems likely to stand up and condemn this total perversion of the American legal system. Government action should not be arbitrarily coercive and subject to the personal whims of our leaders. Sadly, it now is.” (At this point, using the word Sadly to prepend a conclusion seems redundant.)
