     @stevesilberman This is the USA equivalent of the German Enabling Act of 1933 which gave the Chancellor the power to make and enforce laws without the involvement of the legislature. It also kneecapped the judicial system (which mostly consisted of far right judges by then anyway). Extreme violence was used against recalcitrants with total immunity for the perpetrators (chiefly the SA or Brownshirts).
