This is authoritarianism, not democracy, and the Constitution is "just a goddamned piece of paper."

Note that Obama selected as his director of the US Marshals Service the owner of a private prison consulting service, and private prison contracts have skyrocketed under this administration.

The NSA is forwarding information to the DEA and constructing false evidence trails to arrest Americans.

Corruption to the core.

The Obama administration is aggressively growing private prisons
