DESCRIPTION:What Is “Rule of Law” and Why is Trump out to shred It? Why does this 
 matter? And what do we do now?\n\nDiscussion based on 
 the revcom.us article Fascist Attack on the Rule of Law and drawing 
 from Some Points on Strategic Orientation for the Next Period\nby the 
 Central Committee, Revolutionary Communist Party, USA\n\nThe rule of law is 
 under serious attack—and this is part and parcel of a fascist 
 restructuring of society.\n\nTrump and his cabal are packing high-level 
 courts with fascists and fascist-enablers, all the way up to the Supreme 
 Court. And they are discrediting, bullying, and whipping up their base 
 against, and threatening to simply ignore, court orders that get in the way 
 of their aims.\n\nTrump’s attacks on the judiciary are of a piece with a 
 multifaceted attack on rule of law—that is, an attack on the concept that 
 nobody is above the law. He has called for protesters at his events to be 
 “carried out on stretchers.” His attorney general Jeff Sessions is a 
 lifelong enemy of civil liberties. In a country where police terror and 
 murder in oppressed communities is virtually unchecked as it is, Trump told 
 leaders of the Fraternal Order of Police, “We will always support ... the 
 incredible men and women of law enforcement. I will always have your 
 back—100 percent.” \n\nAll this is aimed at both shredding rights 
 supposedly guaranteed to people at large by the U.S. Constitution, and to 
 steamroll over opposition within the ruling class, in part through 
 concentrating absolute and unchallenged power in the executive branch (the 
 presidency, agencies of violent repression like the FBI and CIA, and the 
 federal administrative agencies), and bulldozing the ability of the courts 
 to get in the way of Trump’s agenda.\n\nAll this sharply underscores the 
 urgent need for millions to step forward to oust the Trump regime now, 
 before it is too late. \n
