archetypal....I agree that the excesses such as you describe should not be tolerated, but that does not suggest we should live in fear of the government.
The fact that the new Congress has targeted such practices for oversight and remedial action demonstrates how the government can respond to the concerns of the people in light of such abuses of power by a President and how our system of checks and balances can work to prevent such abuse in the future.
It was Jefferson who said: When the people fear their government, there is tyranny; when the government fears the people, there is liberty.
