Indeed, some have seen echoes of the work of the Nazis’ “crown jurist” and political theorist, Carl Schmitt, in the Trump administration’s domestic policies, particularly his doctrine of “the exception”, which can be used to suspend certain constitutional rights. […] Outside powers – which Schmitt termed “spatially alien powers” – would be “forbidden” to “intervene”.
