The warrant was legal.

I will explain that as best I can. The United States of America would survive and prosper without any liberals whatsoever. If we magically expatriated them all tomorrow, sending them to some foreign country or off world colony on Mars or even just to the surface of the sun, America would continue on. We'd be a cold, brutal country, but the economy would thrive and a lot of wealthy would be born purely out of hard work and taking of risks. If, however, the country was to purge itself of conservatives, could the country survive? To paraphrase Margaret Thatcher, the problem with a society that uses other people's money to pay for everything is you eventually run out of it. America, sans conservatives, would either be overrun by Mexico or some other sniphole hell's emigrants or would die of starvation and want before long. Empathy and bleeding hearts don't put food on the table or keep the country secured, period.
So, in a way, the leftists lack of calling for full out purges of the right is born from an inner sense of need. We make it possible for them to afford to waste time protesting everything while they afford us the luxury of... ah, damn.... I've got nothing, sorry.

Or possibly this is just karma for 8 years of birther nonsense.
It is. The warning is still a good one. From Clinton to Bush to Obama to Trump the disregard to civility has been ratcheted up to dangerous degree, if its not stopped now people will get hurt.

Oh wow, 6 pages in and you're the first person to bring the race card to the table. Might you be the racist? All signs point to "yes, yes you are."

The problem is the number of precedents which have been set and long standing conventions which have been broken in an effort to attack this president. We've seen national security decisions blocked by circuit court judges... to my knowledge, that was an unthinkable happening prior to the left using the courts to attack otherwise perfectly legal executive orders. Always in the past a POTUS saying "It's a national security measure" was all that was needed for the lower courts to remember their place and STFU. Similarly we've seen the erosion of attorney-Client privilege and an acceptance of an open ended public trial in absence of defensible evidence of wrongdoing. I get where you're coming from and normally you'd be right, but Pandora's Box has been opened and that's one of those things that just can't be closed again.

No the President in the 90's actually did rape women.
A big difference between consensual sex and rape.

Not what I was getting at. I don't want a cold, brutal, heartless world. I was merely stating that such a country is survivable whereas a country that bases itself on purely liberal boilerplate is a country which won't survive in this world.

You know what I am getting from your comments, and those of the OP et al?
The bluster is starting to take on a certain note of desperation. The Great Orange Experiment is starting to teeter. And those who pinned their hopes upon it are starting to look a mite...well, ashamed that they let such an oaf be given their voice.
Good luck to you.
Galatians 6:7-9 King James Version (KJV)
7 Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.
8 For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting.
9 And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.
