That Bill Barr is a convinced christofascist was well known even before he became Trump's AG and fixer. Of course he is too chickenshit to risk his own skin for Trump by lying under oath, so he feels he needs to justify his actions on Trump's behalf by inventing theories of an all powerful executive doing God's will. What holy horseshit!

I would add that Robert Kagan's column in the April 24 Wapo is a must read.

Thanks so much for posting this. It is probably the scariest scenario I have read about the people who might vote for Trump and the history of anti-liberalism. Makes me wish I could shake these individuals and tell them to appreciate what they have gotten as a result of so called "liberal" programs such as the New Deal.

'As Benjamin Rush, a signer of the Declaration of Independence, put it, тАЬWe have changed our forms of government, but it remains yet to effect a revolution in our principles, opinions and manners so as to accommodate them to the forms of government we have adopted.тАЭ

They did not insist that citizens believe in those principles. One could be an American citizen whether one believed in the Declaration or not.'
