I joined Ali Velshi last night on MSNBC’s The Eleventh Hour to discuss the Chief Justice’s rebuke of the President. I explained that America is in a constitutional crisis when, rather than faithfully executing the laws, the President of the United States is defying the laws.

That said, Roberts has given us reason to wonder if there are hidden meanings. His opinion in the immunity case was borderline incoherent. He had to twist, turn, and
Having read that decision numerous times, trying to make some sense of
and now look. Unless they abide by the rule of law!! They made this mess! The judicial branch knows more than most what needs to be done to fix this please!
"The constitution is not a document for the government to restrain people: it is an instrument for people to restrain the government." - Patrick Henry
But I submit the start of the constitutional crisis was when #McTurtleFace #MitchMcConnell refused to hold confirmation hearings on #SCOTUS nominee #MerrickGarland
Then worsened when he failed to #Impeach #IQ45 for #Jan6
(...cont'd...)
Folks who pay some attention, saw all the wailing & yelling by the Liberals, & liked that. Yes, there was chaos, but no GOP folks were COMPLAINING about it.
I hope they understand accurately who their oppressors are. But I fear most of 'em will still get that wrong.
Mitch needs to start dying immediately, then die slow.
#SEXOFFENDER #CONVICT #Trump and #MAGA minions-WILL Try to IGNORE All Court Orders short of #SCOTUS.
Trump could even try to ignore SCOTUS!
He thinks SCOTUS has given him a Pass!
He Knows SCOTUS can't arrest.

I think the only ones denying that are those in the Judiciary who keep issuing more unenforced orders.
The only question is "ENFORCEMENT"
It’s a choice.
If they are too scared to do anything @ any of this, they are in the wrong job. They know better (most of them) & they are doing nothing.
Every single one of them is in the process of committing extreme dereliction of duty & needs to be removed.
Judge J. Michael Luttig is a true patriot: "A stake was driven through the heart of American democracy on January 6, 2021, and our democracy today is on a knife's edge."
That was June 16, 2022.
What do you call rounding up anyone brown with tattoos and sending them to another country’s jail, with guards wearing masks?
With the gracious mercy of GOD, it will come to pass but in GOD not men’s.
In Christ Jesus’ name I pray, amen 🤲

Not almost. Not 'heading toward'.
We are there.

You are a true American Patriot and an American Hero!
Please keep up the good fight!
Viva La Luttig !!!!
I have not heard GOP SCOTUS say a word about the GROSS STUPIDITY of their immunity decree!
executive will scatter. Congress is effectively neutered.
So, the Constitution is a covenant; it sets behavioural expectations, and we take it for granted that its rules will be followed.
Yet hypothetically, if a branch of government simply chooses to Not Play By Those Rules, there isn't actually any force that can stop them - laws aren't real.
If violated, the government is no longer ruling with that consent, but instead by force.
So, that's 'crisis' - the threat of ignoring the Constitutional boundaries of governmental power, where no other limits exist.
I predict that MAGA congress will begin impeaching judges in days or weeks.
Remove corrupt politicians from office.
Reverse the damage.
Reclaim US democracy.

I did that as president. Prove me wrong.
included in the immunity is directing his executive branch staff
-decimation of govt is an official act
Mr. Roberts has tied his own hands, locked his own handcuffs on himself. Genius stuff.
They've never intended to be faithful to anything but money.
Machines are NOT connected to anything other than a battery backup that is then plugged into the wall. NO internet connection. Machines are secure and updates can ONLY be made at the election offices that is supervised by both parties.
That is how it works here.
Not sure how the machines, themselves, could be compromised.
I DONT CARE HOW, JUST GO!
Wondering if there is credence to it. It’s not much of a stretch seeing all those billionaires literally behind Trump.

Separation of powers does NOT mean there is NO oversight. The Executive is NOT above the law.
Either we are a nation of LAWS, or we are not.
Enough is enough. Get on with it.

Re: Roberts - did you notice all the unconstitutional and illegal things Trump did which *didnt* bring any rebuke from Roberts? I did.
Roberts only spoke up after Trump mentioned going after judges.
Not very noble of Justice Roberts.
then acts like he is protecting something that doesn’t exist anymore in his entitled, uppity way as if he is speaking to errant children.
🙄
Their interests were outside the Constitution and the people it represents.
Turn and spit.
They overly chose to forgo their purpose as a stunt for clout and have been repaid handily by their cult leaders.
Trump is defying court orders. The schmuck
when a pres acts in his "official" role/capacity, he cannot be prosecuted, only impeached. Insanity reigns in the USSC.
as nixon said in post pres interview with David Frost in 1977, "When the president does it, that means it is not illegal."
May explain the “business as usual” posture he’s taken. Now is not the time for decorum- we can return to that after securing our country! I want to see immediate effective action.

Tell me when and where I’m needed to be part of a wall that stops these people from coming for the judges, and I would drop what I’m doing to be there.
I know I can’t be the only one.

Work to fund those who have more knowledge and expertise to stop Putin from rewriting our social contract and Constitution like he did Russia's, w/o the people's permission.

This is on the hands of We, the people. This republic was by the people for the people so can the people to save it ?

I live in Canada, so I can do nothing about US politics, just watch from a distance and fear Americans won't stop Dictator Trump in time for my country to not be invaded.
I hope that our country follows the course that you predict it will take so that future generations will know and admire you as all decent Americans now do.
Thoughts?
Thank you for speaking sir
We recognize Trump's working his way 2 a coup. Until all the government+ courts fall, it's a constitutional crisis. Pray tell what is the recourse? Fight his maga lawyers in court, while musk-rat's mafia+ E-dogs invade+destroy gov offices? Fight4life
In fact, it's straight up war on America itself.
We're in a bad way down here. Got a spare room?
Some genius can come up with a lawsuit for this.
Or am I mistaken?
It might be time for some organized militias, just sayin'....
The majority at the Supreme Court of the USA don't seem to care about your opinion. They gave Trump a free-pass. Many politicians are lawyers. They don't care.
Now, what action will you take ?
Mike Johnson (202) 225-2777
John Thune (202) 224-2321
Chuck Schumer (202) 224-6542
Hakeem Jefferies (202) 225-5936
