A Mar-a-Lago Transgression

Our home was invaded by police and seized without warrant some years ago. I saw it coming, so I placed a copy of the Fourteenth Amendment on the front door. They came right through anyway.

Lord Coke needs to know that all legal systems become self dealing enterprises. Self dealing among common credential holders, which are usually pre-determined, all who support the system which installed them into power. "Imperatively influenced interest groups", similar terminology to what Dahrendorf suggested in his class-conflict book. "From each according to one's ability, to each according to one's credentials". There's little difference between Iran's mullahs and the American mullahs who run the admission offices and other power granting agencies. We are caught between 2 precepts - absolute power corrupts absolutely, where power is given/taken by the dominant credentialized interest groups, and the second precept, "no person is an island", which suggests that even the loose ends should try to work with the powers-that-be, or else live in isolation, poverty, and oppression.

Which leads to an inference that the definitive form of all human society, is "the police state", because everyone needs to, and will always need to police the existing police state regime. Kirchheimer was interesting when he said something like all regimes eventually develop enemies. But beyond Kirchheimer, always there will be the question, do you really want to replace it? The apparatus will just be taken over by others, probably as bad or worse.

The old Brandeis position against wiretaps and "right to be left alone" was rejected by the SCOTUS majority. Now we have electronic anti-surveillance laws against everybody except the appointed overlords and their cronies. Notice all the recent heretical admission-scandal parents were extorted into convictions by the negligence of their own attorneys and judges who were installed by the admission system which they were heretical against. No parent took a stand against the admissions system and admissions mullahs as a defense. And their ingenuous kids took the stand against the parents, right in their own homes, their castles, to plead guilty.

As usual Mr Kadish, short and to the point !
These raids and Garland 's branding American parents as "Domestic Terrorists" will be recorded as the greatest infamy in America's history
David Salinger

I consistently enjoy Mr. Kadish's unique contributions that highlight the wisdom of our intellectual and philosphical forebears.

The raid on Trump's home was a miscarriage of justice, and makes a mockery of the rule of law and common law tradition. Shame on the FBI!

What an uncannily apropos historical comparison!

The search warrant for Mar-a-Lago was over broad—essentially a general warrant forbidden by the Constitution. But then the Democrats detest the Constitution and have a history of ignoring any of its mandates or protections that get in the way of what is becoming the Democrat Reich: ideologically driven, built on lies and deception, and every bit as race-obsessed as the Nazis ever were. The Blue Cheka (fka FBI) and the State Prosecutors (fka DOJ) have simply jumped on the tyrannical and despotic bandwagon to grovel for favor from the Party.
