Government officials do not become racketeers or extortionists merely by taking overzealous regulatory action
Translation: "We are from the government and we should be able to do anything we want. You will assimilate."
Government racketeering is rampant - extortion is very common at nearly all levels.
I hope he wins.

"Sure Mr. Jones, we realize that your worked hard for your home, or vacation cottage, or your piece of forested land. But, we're from the Government, and we've decided that we want your property because we like it. So here's the deal. We're going to offer you much much less that your property is worth, and you're going to take the deal. If you don't, we're going to do some things you won't like. They aren't authorized in the Constitution, but we don't care. Go ahead and sue because we have thousands of lawyers and hundreds of billions of dollars for defense. And we won't be prosecuted either, because we're the Government. So what's your answer?"

(I can't talk about liberals anymore because some of the words will get me sent to rehab.)
