I suspect you wrote this response without first watching Chin's interview. Or, perhaps you did not recognize that his first, extended sentence, was clearly shaped by the Niemoller quote about a person remaining silent as a government went after a growing list of targeted minorities. I provided the quote so readers could consult it and then review Chin's remarks.

Neither Chin nor I am saying the US is equivalent to Nazi Germany. What is he does appear to be saying is that civil liberties will erode, and governments will tend toward tyranny, if good people remain silent in the face of arbitrary and unjust government behavior. And he will not be that person.

I am not sure how much you have travelled. The ability of a government attorney to challenge an executive order is not unique to "the good US of A," but common to many Western democracies. It is a feature of societies that respect the rule of law.
