Judge ruling in response to lawsuit filed by union for government workers; union lawyers call Trump’s efforts ‘violation of the separation of powers’. This blog is now closed.
For now, we’ll have to see how things go, but if Trump in this administration does things so badly that the Republican Party could risk losing seats to a third party, they’ll have to negotiate with the Democrats, negotiate with the third party, or make a radical change.
Also, if he does that, it could cause states to hold an amendment convention to add amendments that add, for example, an amendment that executive orders and federal laws cannot remove from the amendments. The presidential pardon will not work with the president and is not valid if he conspires against the government or the coup d’état.
This is reliant on an unreasonable amount of optimism, especially when you consider the direction things are going right now.
The country as a whole just took a hard shift to the right. Trump actively promised everything he is currently delivering, and even openly said he was going to make things harder on the poor. And our country as a whole stood up and said “Yes, I’d like more of that please.” Trump very well may make things harder on the Republican party base, but they will not blame Trump or his cronies. They will blame Biden. They will blame DEI. They will blame “Woke”. They will blame Kamala Harris. Hillary Clinton. Barack Obama. They will blame anybody but themselves, and they’re willing to make sure that no filthy Democrat ever gets into office again. Because it’s all their fault with their woke DEI hires like Kamala Harris dontchaknow? And if you don’t know, they’ll be sure to tell you.
The GOP do not look inward. They double down on the stupid. They blame “Them”. They never take responsibility. There is no situation where you’re going to make the GOP look left, and in many cases they’d be primaried if they tried. We have already learned the hard way that for every Republican nutjob already in Congress, there are 10 more ready, willing, and able to take their place who are 10 times as crazy.
And the absolute dead last thing you want right now is a Constitutional Convention. Republicans hold 28 states compared to Democrats’ 18. And many of those state governors and legislatures are firmly on board the Trump train. We can’t manage to ratify an Equal Rights Amendment that was passed by Congress back in 1972. Over 50 years ago. And you want any of these people holding a Constitutional Convention? Since Republicans would essentially be in control of the process since they have far more state governments, that would more likely lead to things like a national abortion ban and Trump being all but constitutionally enshrined as a King before it leads to any kind of reforms or restrictions on Trump’s behavior.
It’s quaint you think they’ll be any sort of election that could possibly see Trump’s MAGA party losing … literally anything ever again. It’s also fun that you think there are enough states to hold a Constitutional Convention. You are living in dreamland my friend, there was a choice, and we made it on November 6th, a binary choice between Democracy and Fascism, and not enough Democrats bothered to vote, and now, now it’s all over
