I am serious about getting people who think like that out of the government. Blacklisting has been done and it is not a proud American moment.

But wouldn't that just evolve into a blacklist of blacklisters? McCarthyism against McCarthyites? It would still amount to a political purge, in my opinion. The reason I thought it was tongue-in-cheek is because the old saying "there should be a law" is generally attributed to authoritarians, and you don't really seem to be one. This seems to be a purely partisan sentiment, Sam.
