People keep thinking that he can be stopped. He will break the rules and the institution that are supposed to stop him...won't. Republicans, house and senate, supreme court... We can not assume anything will hold.
I was so frustrated yesterday I was almost in tears. I was told numerous times there are checks and balances in place, and he has not harmed anyone.
My responses: checks and balances are a joke at the moment, and just give him time.
The constitution doesn’t matter when the Supreme Court overturns United States v. Wong Kim Ark. Republicans basically found a cheat code to circumvent Congress.
Since the 14th was the baby of the original Republican POTUS, this is yet another measure of how far A Crackpot Orange and his retinue have strayed from their origins...
Hey New York Times isn't it about time you made another hit piece on transgender people? Now you guys are concerned about liberty and justice. I thought you'd be more concerned with BS puff pieces and lies.
Trump will ignore court decisions against him, he’ll say “let them enforce it”. Americans will eventually wake up to the fact that it’s a dictatorship and he’s not going anywhere after four years.
Trump thinks that God saved his life and therefore he can rule by executive fiat - the Constitution and other branches of government be damned! If anyone saved Trump, it was Satan himself. We must stop Trump at all costs.
I’m plastering this everywhere—Sooo much batshit to track!
We need a spreadsheet documenting:
1) List of all the new EOs
2) Whether or not they’re constitutional & what amendment they potentially violate
3) Whether there is already a lawsuit against it
4) Who is or could bring a lawsuit against it
We can get through this and defeat fascism as long as we continue to fight every single day. Support your local library, read up on how to deal with ICE, and keep up with the news
We all knew this was coming. 1900 orders left to go. Over the next few weeks you're going to be overwhelmed with his shit! Hats on, fists drawn, eyes reading,connect and support each other, feet ready with MLK at the helm!
Trump will get crushed in court. He has no legal authority to unilaterally rewrite an Amendment to the Constitution. The birthright citizenship clause of the 14th Amendment is not ambiguously worded.
Sure it is. It contains both an ‘or’ and an ‘and’ without a clear order of operations. I mean if one tries to apply a rational standard it wouldn’t be hard, but that’s not what is going to happen in highly politicized cases.
let them have a civil war! Split that beast heterogeneous country into proper-sized homogeneous countries.
I guess Musk could use AI to find how many clusters
More AGs better hop on that (I expect some will, but keep an eye out for who doesn't). Where are all the Constitution-defenders when it's not guns being discussed?
Trump knows his efforts to end birthright citizenship will fail. That’s not the point. He is signalling his belief in the “superior race thesis,” and that migrants are poisoning the blood America. This is nothing more than Race Theory manifesting in Policy
To Trump the Constitution is just toilet paper to flush 15 or 16 times because it won't go down.
Funny because Trump himself helped create Russia spies by leasing condos to expecting Russian Oligarch wives so they could obtain birth right citizenship before going back to Russia for endocrination
