Any idea if passports can be unissued in the same manner as nexus cards or other government-issued security id’s?

It has been done to a few people over the past century. One guy flew around the world uncovering CIA agents. IIRC they couldn't convict him of anything but did revoke his passport on national security grounds.

the stronger possibility is that since there is no cohearant or credible resistance to the wholsale violations of law, US, international, religious or natural, and complete disregard for the constitution, the next move will be to impose a new constitution that gives unlimited power for life and privetises anything federal that gets a few more cronys

I think this is the plan, not just a possibility, but something they are really working hard to get.
