Democrats are coming to have similar fears about a President Trump who might persecute minorities, lift environmental protections, or eviscerate social services. They should copy a page out of the Republican playbook and return to the states to rebuild their party.

“It’s not just Supreme Court justices that are important,” Yoo said. “It is also who the attorney general is [and] how the Trump administration is going to interpret and enforce federal law.”

Yoo … points out that Thomas’s work has already secured a place in the American legal canon. “If you read the casebooks for example, a lot of his separate writings are excerpted in the teaching materials in constitutional law,” he said.

For John Yoo, the conservative legal scholar … Trump “reminds me a lot of early Mussolini. . . . Very, disturbingly similar. …” Yoo said Trump’s promise to appoint a special prosecutor to go after Clinton is “a compounded stupidity.”

“If you actually look at what he leaked, he provided our rivals around the world, and our terrorist enemies, with a laundry list of all the different innovations and techniques that our NSA and our intelligence services were using to collect information on their efforts against … foreign terrorist plots. I couldn’t actually think of something more damaging.”

While he is shaking up the world, Trump will also nominate conservatives to the federal courts — or so he says. But no one should rely on his vague promises. He has already flip-flopped on numerous core issues, such as the minimum wage, tax rates and entitlement reform.
