The Trump administration will undoubtedly appeal, possibly all the way to the Supreme Court. But for now, millions of people across the country will not have to make hard choices about how to feed themselves and their families. Several states that had already declared emergencies to tackle the impending crisis will have at least some temporary relief.

      Hitler literally got a law passed so that a judge couldn’t block him from doing anything. So until Trump has his Reischtag fire and declares a state of emergency it’s not really comparable.

      Enabling Act

      Passed shortly after Hitler became Chancellor, the Act effectively transferred significant legislative authority from the Reichstag (the German parliament) to Hitler and his cabinet, allowing them to enact laws without parliamentary consent. The Act also permitted amendments to the constitution and control over the national budget. Despite its ostensibly reassuring language regarding the roles of the president and parliament, the Enabling Act fundamentally undermined democratic governance in Germany.

      I’m not sure if that’s true or not.

      Hitler essentially stripped out all Jewish sympathy from the german legal system almost as soon as he took power.

        There were several legal challenges, especially against the concentration camps. They were quite close to succeeding

        Trump’s legal troubles are very similar, especially is regards to their shared attempts to overthrow the government (although Hitler lost and received a stern slap on the wrist)
