This is not how the leadership of a great America treats the law, let alone the party that traditionally prides itself in standing for LAW-and-order. #stopTheMadness of the #lunaticInChief and #saveTheUS.
The courts were our last line of defense. If they openly defy courts orders no one can stop them unless the Marshall is called in. If they go rogue I'm afraid we're screwed
He’s not doing this for me. And he’s not doing this for you. He isn’t doing this for any of us. He is doing it for himself. He is a thin skinned, sociopathic, little baby, who is doing it to make himself feel powerful. And to prove to his handler, Putin, that he is a big man.
Stop with it’s coming! IT’S BEEN HERE while everyone either helped it or sleepwalked.
People act like there hasn’t been a constitutional crisis since trump fired comey, called for a violent uprising & got away w/34 felony convictions. The crisis has been upon us like a lion on a gazelle since 2017.
MAGA world is blaming the lawsuits on Democrats, when it's actually breaking clearly written laws that have been purposely created to protect the country from a bad actors like Trump. Will our judicial system be able to uphold our laws with a compromised Supreme Court?
Why is anyone surprised? Of course he has no intention of complying to court orders. He knows there is no enforcement. It’s tragic that Congress is dead, law enforcement is dead and court rulings are meaningless. Please prove me wrong and tell me about any rulings that have been enforced!
Isn’t this a constitutional crisis already? Are we surprised? How surprised will we be when there’s no more fair elections and he “wins” a 3rd term? We’ll fight, but it’s going to take more than what we’re doing. We want to believe in the power of the people, but we need help and who will help us?
We're beyond Constitutional crisis and well into the land of authoritarian regime, but everyone wants to pussyfoot around and sane wash the bullshit, then wonder why half the country doesn't know what's happening.
Domestic terrorism is ideologically driven crimes committed by individuals in the United States that are intended to intimidate or coerce a civilian population or influence the policy or conduct of a government per USA PATRIOT Act (18 U.S.C.).
Is there any lawyer, former prosecutor, or former judge who publicly details to each trumpito's cronies (by names), the crimes they have committed up to today, and the minimum and maximum penalties they will face?
You would think the Supreme Court would want to nip this in the bud b/c ultimately they are seeing their power about to be eliminated. Unless they are okay as rubberstamping figureheads.
The people are all thinking the same exact thing, but laws...ya know. As if the rotten pumpkin were playing by the same rules. Mussolini said that he kept doing terrible things, because nobody stopped him. It's definitely time to stop him, but who wants to go first?
@marcelias.bsky.social Ive followed you for 4yrs & think what you do is valuable, BUT imo you have no chance against a rogue regime, led by a psychopath, thats deliberately unwilling to be reined in by the justice system. Fascists only follow their own rules.
Violated 5th Amendment due process clause that protects any and all persons from deprivation of liberty. Anyone behind the removals to El Salvador without due process should be personally liable for torts like assault and battery knowingly committed ultra vires.
I agree, even people on here. This is done. People in America have been sleepwalking and woke up and then say, oh, that can't happen here. And yes, it can and it did. They still living in delusion
The Mango Mussolini doesn't care about flying flip about what the courts say. He will ignore anything anyone says. Then make arrangements to remove judges from power that don't support his wishes. We have entered very frightening times.
"'I could see this ending in a very hot showdown between the courts & the executive,' Noll said, though he added that it depends on how vigorously courts pursue contempt proceedings."
Will courts be vigorous? There are a LOT of Americans who'd like to see a VERY VIGOROUS pursuit.
It's time for the U.S. military, police, and federal agents to act, you are sworn to the U.S. Constitution, you are not the Republican SS nor Trump's punch bowl, and arrest this criminal gang for violating U.S. law.
Isn’t the constitutional crisis pretty much a raging wildfire already? They already openly defied the order, and I don’t hold much hope for tomorrow’s hearing, where they’ll lie on their declarations.
Republicans in house and senate should understand they will be dismissed soon. He has no need for them. Unless the GOP stands up we have a dictatorship
Well the way my wife constitutional rights and all others that are dealing with federal cases are being treated, it seems as though they are gone already.
Well.. I don't think the American people are going to roll over and let them take away our democracy!! He thinks Jan 6th was something.. half those trump supporters are going to turn on him so quickly when they lose their jobs..homes..ss it won't be hang mike pence.. it will be hang trump..
He is defying court orders because the Roberts Court gave him the ability to do so. Trump is not a president, he is a dictator. There is only one way to get him to obey the law and that involves handcuffs and being dragged out of the Oval Office.
Potentially, was weeks ago at best. It's been ongoing for years really, as the Constitution clearly lays out that officials can't wage an insurrection then run for office again later.
They keep trying and there are no consequences...so why do they stop? Btw "judges depend upon the executive branch to enforce court decisions", will Trump enforce court orders on himself?
THE CRISIS IS ALREADY HERE. 🔥🔥🔥
Defiance is intentional & aligns w/ the removal of all checks & balances. Since they no longer exist, the only rules that apply are the ones he imposes on everyone who is in opposition to the agenda of project 2025 & his fanatical vision for the foreseeable future😳
If there is doubt the Venezuelans landed-disembarked the plane-and were processed into the El Salvador labor camp… I’d like to get the details on that…
Are you stating the bright line to be crossed is in tomorrow’s response?
Which of the by following events will result:
1- mass protests that shut down the economy
2- military coup
3- Blue State secession
4- Civil War
5- Fascism
The trump/GOP cabal is openly declaring their defiance of the authority of the judicial branch! How is this conditional on future action? The defiance of the judicial branch is NOW!
The Constitutional crisis is NOW! It is ongoing! It is NOT future!
This conversation between Reagan and Nixon in 1971, was focused on the United Nations vote to add the People’s Republic of China as a delegate to the UN over Chang Kia-shek and Taiwan. Reagan saw the UN as a “kangaroo court” because of that decision. This portion of that conversation tells us why.
They are speaking about the desired future make up of the SCOTUS. From the Nixon White House Tapes Transcript, October 26th, 1971.
Nixon: Well there are all sorts of dinners, you know.
Reagan: Yeah. Oh, out here [Earl] Warren made a speech at one the other night.
Nixon: Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
Reagan: It was a load of crap. [Nixon acknowledges throughout] The old man---I wish to hell he
[unclear]---
Nixon: Oh, incidentally, I want---I think you should know, on another subject, that we’ve got two terrific nominees for the Supreme Court. They are tough, strong, conservative,
and they are just squealing like hell. This---well, you know, we, as you know, we ran Mildred [L] Lillie by you and [chuckles] we have in mind [William French] Smith for another one. But these two, you can bank on. Our liberal friends---[Lewis F] Powell [Jr] of Virginia is just a great fellow and
[William H] Rehnquist is probably the---is probably a strong young guy---well, he’s not too
damn young, he’s 47---but probably he’ll be the strongest man on the court.
Reagan: Oh, good. My heart was, of course, set on Smith. [Nixon acknowledges] ---out here. He’s a hell of a guy.
Nixon: Well, let me say, he’s at the right age and he is right up there on consideration. Our problem was that we had to take one southerner. It was Powell. And I couldn’t take two corporate lawyers.
Reagan: Yeah.
Nixon: You see the problem?
Reagan: Yeah.
Hate to break it to you, but we’re already in a constitutional fucking crisis. They keep moving the fucking bar. We were in a social crisis a long time ago, but they keep saying we’re almost there. We’re almost there. We’re almost there bullshit. We’re fucking there we’ve been there.
Mr. Elias, am I incorrect in assuming that as long as the plane is owned by a US company and took off in US territory, that all people on that flight are considered to be on US "soil" until the plane touches down in another country, and therefore subject to US jurisdiction?
There is no crisis unless the courts fold & don't hold him (or administration flunkies) accountable. When in contempt of court, the court sends law enforcement & you are charged, detained, fined/jailed. It's a process; not a crisis. Keep the process on track; crisis avoided.
Love ya so much, Marc, but that's not must-read. It's an Axios reporter's standard formulaic news story. Or did DD just hire Knutson? Why does tag give you writing credit? Has the scale dropped so low that our smartest people see what's not even portfolio-worthy as must-read? Beware of crying wolf.
Yes he is. And there is not a soul that had the guts to through this traitor in jail. Which is why we are in this fucking mess. Someone, ANYONE HAVE COURAGE TO FACE THIS PIG. AND CALL A PIG A PIG ???
El Salvador is willing to take US citizens, too. Will we be jailed in El Salvador if we are arrested during Martial Law. Trump is Bashar Assad. Tell me the difference.
The guy laughs at the law because he's got the goods on the numerous corrupted politicians. That's how corrupt our Congress and Judicial is. All cowards. My opinion. ☮️
I think at this point in time it’s safe to rip the bandages off to reveal you are actually in a constitutional crisis right this second. I suspect trumps next move will be enact martial law, seize the military and he will start his “purge”. The ship has sailed on your democracy, it’s too late!
He basically said that last term when he said under Article II a president can do anything he wants. He's just carrying it out now. He has tons of support behind him. Project2025 authors to name just a few. And now Marco Rubio!! 'oopsies'.
It’s not a fear. He’s done this his entire life. If there are no consequences he will not comply. He does not believe in rule of law or the Constitution.
Oh, the fear is here. There is no “potentially” here, either. Their goal is to test *everything* to see what they can get away with. And it might be too much to recover from anytime soon - unless we can get our act together and fight
'may defy'
Trump's playbook is to bung up the entire process with frivolities after the fact, after he's already committed the wrongdoing!
Open defiance of all that is good and proper.
MAGA love him because he gets away with shit they can only fantasize about trying!
“raising fears”, “potentially problematic” “concerning” “raises questions” “creating doubt” & any other half chub terminology needs to be chucked. We’re past all that.
Yes, and now he's trying to fix the paperwork so he can get out of it. Hence, the pit crew of rejects that the do nothing senate approved will doctor right up.
I have so many questions: Alien Enemies Act of 1798 gave the president additional powers to detain non-citizens during times of war, invasion, or predatory incursion,. Do all 3 have to be met or just one situation?

It's already ignited. Everything they've done has been illegal and unconstitutional.
When do we officially enter into the crisis?
People act like there hasn’t been a constitutional crisis since trump fired comey, called for a violent uprising & got away w/34 felony convictions. The crisis has been upon us like a lion on a gazelle since 2017.

1. Fears are already raised
2. We had a constitutional crisis the day he was sworn in.

Thanks SCOTUS
Can they put both of them (Prez and Vice) on leave/suspension while impeachment is in process?
Why some find difficult to understand
Right now there is no one to stop him!
1- mass protests that shut down the economy
2- military coup
3- Blue State secession
4- Civil War
5- Fascism

They hid the grant numbers , which is public info btw,

The issue that stands out is "proper administration of any matter within the jurisdiction of a U.S. department or agency. "
So can we prove intent?
Even if they were…
We all know, defying the judge’s orders, and defying the rights of the persons on board the planes, was a violation of civil rights.
#ConstitutionalCrisis🇺🇸
Dictator alert! 🚨 
Trump lies.
He surrounds himself with liars.
We’re officially a shithole country.
The Rubicon is in the rearview!
you must mean "ignite ANOTHER constitutional crisis" right?
Trump's playbook is to bung up the entire process with frivolities after the fact, after he's already committed the wrongdoing!
Open defiance of all that is good and proper.
MAGA love him because he gets away with shit they can only fantasize about trying!
