that the nation is not here for them but they are here for the nation
From now on, I shall intervene in these cases and remove from office those judges who evidently do not understand the demand of the hour.
What is disconcerting is that nobody reading this would be surprised by Trump saying it.
Disturbing because it is from Hitler in 1942.

(12,351 posts)Presidents have no authority to remove judges. Even Thomas and Alito would condemn any attempt to remove a judge other than by impeachment.
Hitler not Trump. But they sound the same.

.on April 26, 1942. Hitler said: I expect the German legal profession to understand that the nation is not here for them but they are here for the nation.. From now on, I shall intervene in these cases and remove from office those judges who evidently do not understand the demand of the hour.

At a time when the best of our people are risking their lives at the front and when the home front is tirelessly working for victory, there can be no place for criminals who destroy the will of the community. Those in the administration of justice must recognize that it is their job to destroy traitors and saboteurs on the home front. The law allows plenty of leeway in this regard. The home front is responsible for maintaining peace, quiet, and order as support for the war front. This heavy responsibility falls especially to German judges. Every punishment is fundamentally more important in war than in peace. This special fight is targeted especially against those designated by law as pests. Should a judge decide after conscientious examination of the criminal act and of the perpetrator's personality that a criminal is a pest, then the seriousness of this determination must also be firmly expressed in the harshness of the verdict. It is a matter of course that a plunderer, who reaches for the possessions of another after a terror attack [bombing] by the enemy, deserves only death. But every other culprit who commits his crimes by exploiting the circumstances of war also sides with the enemy. His disloyal character and his declaration of war [on the German people] therefore deserve the harshest punishments.
