Good for them. Trump can’t just flout the law like this, regardless of what SCOTUS told him. The constitution and laws are for everyone, even the president.
DT doesn’t believe the rules apply to him. SCOTUS gave him a golden ticket. He has been breaking the law since he took office. When will congress uphold their oath to protect the constitution & our democracy? DT is a seditionist & a traitor.
If republicans are afraid, why don’t they impeach him?
In Russia today, a historically peaceful Christian church is now openly backing wars, with its clergy blessing weapons designed to take lives. Uncover the people behind it in the documentary “The Impact”
Trump wants the DOJ headed by the laughably incompetent and complicit Bondi to prosecute judges for upholding our laws when it runs counter to his illegal agenda. JUDGES ARE OUR ONLY REMAINING PROTECTION TO LOSS OF OUR DEMOCRACY, with corrupt SCOTUS and Republican sycophants in congress.
Unfortunately the lower courts seem pretty impotent when it comes to enforcing anything. Additionally, this will make its way to the supreme court where they will inevitably rule in Trump's favor.
I implore Democrats not to attend the State of the Union this year given everything we have witnessed from the Trumb administration. Your presence alone is an endorsement of Trumb’s policies. Don’t disappoint US by normalizing them.
I respectfully disagree. If they do not attend, what happens is that Trump gives his ranting, lie filled speech with a room full of enthusiastically clapping Republicans and the American public only sees that. Unfortunately, many people aren't paying attention & that is all they would see.
He is going to do it anyway, Trumb will lie over the voices of Democrats and they will look weak. Americans will see the half empty room as a repudiation of the policies, the firings, and extortion of Ukraine and it shows Democrats are fighting for US. Dressing up in same colors is just stupid.
So far, fellow 47 has done nothing BUT exceed his authority. And Republicans are good with it. I'm sure most of the people who voted for their Republican law makers did not vote for this.
There is no other way but taking it to the streets of D.C. by the millions and never leave until we overthrow that christian nazi regime.
The courts won't do anything.
They can't enforce their rulings.
Either the people rise, or this shithole is doomed on everybody except the billionaires.
With every decision on Trump's appeals, SCOTUS ITSELF IS ON TRIAL -- in the court of public opinion. Also as evidence in impeachment of several "justices" when Dems regain control.
I don't expect Trump et al to comply. I'm honestly surprised they bothered to appeal. If court rulings don't go their way I assume they will simply ignore them.
What argument is there when the judge has determined he exceeded his authority? Is he just expecting his appeals will end up in the SC and he may have better luck there?
What a fucking waste of taxpayer money. Next time those Doge douches try to say they're saving us money, somebody please add up the cost of all these appeals and sue Mump personally for the court costs.
Absolutely!!! EVERY SINGLE TIME these lawsuits are brought… common Americans are PAYING for it!! DOUBLE!! The government is paying from the DOJ and in order to fight it, WE MUST FUND IT!! So… they get great delight in SCREWING US TWICE…or more!😡😡😡😡
📌NOTE: Immediately after the vile attack on Zelensky by Putin's puppets Friday, Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries should have called a joint press conference and explained to the American public the significance, heinousness and danger of that sickening surrender.
This is the first of many tests. It will be interesting to see if
1. Trump does what the judge says. Or
2. If he doesn't, if Congress takes an enforcement position, or if they set back.
If the WH orders federal agencies (like the Marshals Service) not to enforce *lawful judicial orders* against it, then the government is effectively no longer operating under rule of law.
That *must* be documented for the historical and legal record.
Dellinger is already back at work, so, in this case, they have been abiding by the court's decision. And Dillinger isn't wasting any time; he already got 6 people re-instated and is now planning a larger swath.
We have seen how a guy with a nutsack of steel stands up to them and makes them look like the foolish, dirty bastards they are in front of the whole world.
This will not stick. They will move it to the SCOTUS, win, and life will continue to get more F’d up. America needs to realize, the law is not coming to save us. The law is now the people doing the horrible things.
To clarify my opinion. No, the law will not save us. WE need to save us. The people have been waiting for something else to stop this for about a decade, it has not happened. The people are the only hope. Stop waiting to be saved, and go forth and save the nation!!!

📌They should STILL be talking now.
