This type of egregious behavior on the part of the .gov is not a recent development. It's been going on since time immemorial.
Recall Andrew Jackson's forced removal of indigenous tribes, particularly the Cherokee's "Trail of Tears". And how did Jackson respond to the SCOTUS ruling in 1831 that it was illegal? By proclaiming that "[Justice] John Marshall has made his decision; let him enforce it now if he can".
And this from a President who would be regarded as a hero by contemporary conservatives given his opposition to a central banking system.
It's the same age old problems of ego, unethical practices and ulterior (selfish) motives. The only thing that changes over the years are the tyrants names and faces.
