Yep. It looks like it may finally be here. Full-blown, metastasized dictatorship. Oh, but we don’t have a dictator, we have ‘The Decider’.

Fellow citizens, this bill throws out legal and moral restraints as the president deems it necessary - these are fundamental principles of basic decency, as well as law. I’d like those supporting this evil bill to spare me one affliction: Do not, please, pretend to be shocked by the consequences of this legislation. And do not pretend to be shocked when the world begins comparing us to the Nazis.

For imposing Taxes on us without our Consent:

For depriving us in many cases, of the benefit of Trial by Jury:

For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offences:

For abolishing the free System of English Laws in a neighbouring Province, establishing therein an Arbitrary government, and enlarging its Boundaries so as to render it at once an example and fit instrument for introducing the same absolute rule into these Colonies

For taking away our Charters, abolishing our most valuable Laws and altering fundamentally the Forms of our Governments:

A Prince, whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people.

These people didn’t stay in their designated ‘free speech zone.’ It got kinda dicey from what I understand. The local insurgents and terrorists started to endanger public safety and security, too! They wouldn’t even fight by the normal ‘civilized’ rules of warfare, and thus had to be subjected to the utmost of harshest penalties. Wonder whatever became of them anyway?
