Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/1583908/fan_mail/new] Trump’s DOJ Just Tested the First Amendment Donald Trump says this is about law and order. History says we've heard that before. In today's Opening Argument, I tell the story of a 25-year-old man named John Lewis walking across the Edmund Pettus Bridge in 1965. The government told him not to march. The government told him to go home. The government used force to silence dissent. For a few terrible minutes, government power looked unstoppable. But the Constitution plays the long game. Now, sixty years later, the Department of Justice has indicted 15 people in Minnesota under an initiative tied to Trump's executive order targeting what his administration calls "antifa." If someone commits a crime, charge the crime. But what happens when government starts attaching political labels to dissent? What happens when criticism begins to look suspicious to the people holding power? What happens when Americans exercising constitutional rights start being described as enemies instead of citizens? We've seen this story before. And history has a lesson for people who underestimate liberty. ☕ Today's Opening Argument is presented by Squawk Boss Coffee Fuel your freedom: https://SquawkBossCoffee.com [https://SquawkBossCoffee.com] 📖 Read more at: https://TheCoffmanChronicle.com [https://TheCoffmanChronicle.com] You’re listening to today’s Opening Argument from The Tony Michaels Podcast.
