Soooo, was there “standing” to weaponize ICE and start deporting US citizens? Was there standing to weaponize the DOJ? Was there standing to cut funding for NPR and PBS? Was there standing to pardon all the Jan 6 rioters? Was there standing to cut all government programs via DOGE? I could go on and on.
Taking the stance of “well, Trump won’t be able to do this because it is illegal” is naive as hell given what we’ve seen in the past 100 days.
This utterly blind faith that the liberal institutions will somehow halt Trumpian fascism is exactly the same blunder as was made by liberals in early 30s Germany during Hitler’s meteoric rise.
Take a step back and realize the American political experiment is over. Given how it’s gone genocidal and incinerated the planet, we have a duty to dismantle it from within.
Bro, obviously they are doing illegal shit and pretending like the law does not apply to them and the courts have no power.
But at the same time, they are claiming the law gives them power, so they still need the courts on their side. Also they just had to settle with Maine, so obviously they are still afraid of going against the courts.
That is why it matters that these illegal moves get challenged in court and the rest of us says:
“No. That’s not what the law says. That’s illegal.”
It’s fucking stupid to respond by doing illegal shit when we are trying to uphold the rule of law.
This is blind faith.
Many of his wishes have come true in recent months. What makes you think this is impossible?
It has no standing.
It will be challenged and Trump is going to capitulate, just like he did with Maine.
It’s all distractions while they buy time to move American taxpayer money overseas.
