The US constitution is in peril. Civil and human rights are being trampled upon. The economy is in disarray.
At this rate, we will not make it through the second 100 days.
Federal judges in more than 120 cases so far have sought to stop Trump – judges appointed by Republicans as well as Democrats, some appointed by Trump himself – but the regime is either ignoring or appealing their orders. It has even arrested a municipal judge in Milwaukee amid a case involving an undocumented defendant.
Recently, Judge J Harvie Wilkinson III of the court of appeals for the fourth circuit – an eminent conservative Reagan appointee who is revered by the Federalist Society – issued a scathing rebuke to the Trump regime. In response to its assertion that it can abduct residents of the US and put them into foreign prisons without due process, Wilkinson wrote:
If today the Executive claims the right to deport without due process and in disregard of court orders, what assurance will there be tomorrow that it will not deport American citizens and then disclaim responsibility to bring them home? And what assurance shall there be that the Executive will not train its broad discretionary powers upon its political enemies? The threat, even if not the actuality, would always be present, and the Executive’s obligation to ‘take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed’ would lose its meaning.
I think it’s hilarious how the public seems to be waiting for their representatives to do something while at the same time, the representatives are stoking the fire, waiting for the public to do something.
it’s ridiculous how naive american citizens are. “impeach him”. lol. wake the fuck up. guns.
The reps are playing it safe. The best strategy for their own survival is to pacify the public. Agree with their complaints and do nothing about it.
It’s almost like the strategy of not doing anything, actually doesn’t do anything.
All while those in power seek more power. Fighting back as a rep becomes harder, not easier when the rule of law is ignored.
That will work until the Executive decides they aren’t needed any longer. A big “Go home, Capitol closed by executive order until the emergency has passed” sign on the Capitol doors. Those that ignore the sign wake up in some third world prison or as the next contestant on 47’s newest prime time game show, Who Wants to be Treated as an Insurrectionist Traitor. Their best bet is to organize a fast track impeachment before 47 can stop them, but the longer this all goes on, the faster that whole impeachment thing would need to occur.
All the while the orange dude is using immigrants for ICE, FBI and other LEOs to practice on … so they’ll be ready to shut the revolution down immediately.
I do really feel for all the Americans who didn’t vote or ask for this, 'cause it’s gonna be ugly.
