The wanna be fascists call it a "novel legal theory" the rest of us should call it what it is: a bullshit justification for fascism with no basis in serious legal rationales.

It is the government equivalent of a preschooler coming up with reasons that they should decide what the family eats, where it goes, and what time is bedtime.

This is the kind of fill the airwaves with bullshit that authoritarian wannabes always do.
