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.
Forget the next 100 days. We’ve got like…3 more years of this. 3 more years.
And all I’ve been seeing so far is just people pointing fingers and saying bold things, but doing fuck all about it. Especially the public, who think they’re going to be saved by some one-man army or some deity or some karma system when quite frankly, they’re all fictitious. Getting off your ass and doing something about it is to much of a chore for them.
More like 3 years and 8 months! So it’s actually closer to 4 years.
It’s only just begun!!!
Forget the next 3 years, we’ve got less than 100 days!
The whole point of the 100 days argument is that we’re dangerously close to not having 3 more years of this, but rather the rest of our lives of this.
Reich literally points out in the article that at this rate, midterms won’t be any relief.
