    Raiklin is seeking to enlist so-called ā€œconstitutionalā€ sheriffs in rural, conservative counties across the country to detain Trumpā€™s political enemies.

    Isnā€™t is fun how, the more contrary to the spirit of the constitution something is, the more likely the Trump cult and its predecessors are to literally slap ā€œconstitutionalā€ in front of the noun?

    First there was ā€œconstitutional carryā€: walking around displaying mass murder enablers to intimidate political opponents because a bunch of demagogues and activist judges had deliberately misinterpreted an obsolete amendment.

    Then there was the ā€œconstitutional electorsā€ tasked with stealing an election for Trump.

    Now thereā€™s ā€œconstitutional sheriffsā€ tasked with being Trumpā€™s version of Hitlerā€™s SS, Stalinā€™s KGB, or Mussoliniā€™s OVRA.
