This admin just declared war on Americans.
President Donald Trump issued a "striking" national security memo recently that would allow the administration to go after American citizens using the same tools the country uses to protect itself from foreign adversaries, according to one analyst.
Goodman was visibly stunned as he recalled some of the impacts Trump's memo could have on American citizens.
"It's using the national security apparatus in such a way that's focused domestically; one can only assume that Steven Miller is empowered by this," Goodman said. "It's connecting it up with national security frameworks and then imposing it domestically."

Tell them that this new, Stephen Miller empowered grab of everyones data also now includes going after all your GUN purchasing records, your state and local gun registration into universal national Federal Government Database, where it can match you to all the weapons youve ever owned, any ammo you buy with a credit card, etc. These new databases have everything.
The NRA should warn them what Trumps databases are going to do.

I'm glad there are some judges who are not afraid to tell them they don't get to interpret laws, they are to follow them.

protecting the Constitution.
