Back in the sixties, I was all for the black kids getting past Governor Wallace blocking their way into the school in Alabama, but, of course, it never happened since this is not a police state. In fact, they are still segregated in Alabama aren't they?

The difference there was that the federal government used Marshals and soldiers to enforce a court order. Here, such use of Marshals and soldiers would be for the purpose of disobeying a court order.

Once we allow the President to use force to overturn an unpopular legal decision, we have taken the first steps toward dictatorship.
