Nonsensical historical argument by Judge Ryan Nelson of the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals.
After Fort Sumter, who would say "It's OK, things are quiet now?" Sumter was occupied by treasonous rebels!!
When protesters bombard and occupy an ICE facility, then you can make that argument, Judge.

The autocrat shows his power by wielding it without rhyme or reason. The most powerful person has no rules, no guidelines, no guardrails. The autocrat has the power to act in a contradictory manner. The greatest power is wielded whimsically, which shows its greatness.
