In 1934, Germany passed the Enabling Act. This law gave Adolph Hitler unlimited power to do anything he wanted to do. Using this law, he replaced all the key government officials with Nazi Party members. He arrested and jailed all the opposing party members. He fired all the police forces in the country and replaced them with the Gestapo and SS (Secret Police). Sound familiar? The question is: why didn’t the three judge Appellate court need nearly 30 days to see the comparison between the Hitler era and the Trump request? Was there ANY doubt that the court could not grant Trump authority to do what the members of that court could not legally do themselves? What took so long to figure that out? Why the intrigue? And, of course, that follow-up Trump Appeal to the US Supreme Court was inevitable. So why would they even consider such a request? In our view, SCOTUS should laugh the request into oblivion immediately. No review.
