(8,200 posts)Dershowitz has articulated what has been the Republican Party's goal since the Nixon presidency. That is to transform the presidency into a virtual dictatorship that is makes the president's actions impervious to any question as to their lawfulness. Any action taken by the president will be deemed lawful and above any question by any citizen. The rank and file Republican has been so indoctrinated by the party propaganda that they totally unable to grasp that they are fully cooperating in their own virtual enslavement in a system that could deprive them of any rights fully analogous to what the founders of our Republic had successfully rejected in that no man is above the law.
We are experiencing a party whose hierarchy has obtained complete control of the party and its members that few will dare to challenge their most astonishing claims such that the president has the power to take any action to ensure his reelection. If this is achieved the only avenue to the challenge his authority will be massive demonstrations that would be deemed illegal resulting in the only recourse being revolution just as what was required during the formation of our nation to establish governance by the people and for the people and that no citizen is above the law.
