One of the recent events in the current (un)presidential campaign has been the proclamation by Herr Donald Trump that he is the "law and order" candidate. This term was introduced into American politics by none other than Richard Nixon, the former president who resigned after facing impeachment. When Nixon approached the Military about declaring martial law and arresting Congress, the Chiefs of Staff threatened to deliver him in chains to the floor of the Senate. At the time of this happening my father was highly placed in the military with strong political connections, so he was aware of what happened. At the time Nixon was elected I happened to be socially acquainted with a highly placed Mafia member (I taught school with his girl-friend). He told me that Nixon would be our last elected president (other mafia had different ideas and actually hated him). I also knew the son of the lady who paid Nixon $10,000 weekly (delivered it from connections in Miami) before he was elected.
It is also widely reported that Adolph Hitler vowed to establish "law and order" in Germany. Whether or not he actually used the term is subject of debate, but the concept is and was attributed to him. Of course, he had ABSOLUTELY no respect for law and order except the law and order that HE defined.
