“One of the most awesome powers of the modern state is its ability to imprison people who have violated the law. This is why the Founding Fathers were so obsessed with procedures and principles meant to protect citizens from arbitrary arrest. As they recognized, no liberty worth its name is possible when a head of government, even one elected by popular vote, can direct the machinery of the state to punish those who have displeased him. And yet, that is precisely what Donald Trump is attempting to do in the case of James Comey.” (09/27/25)
