"Let me be very clear as a historian of the Constitution there has been one — one! — O-N-E — one! — count it: one — one constitutional crisis in our history that our Constitution was incapable of solving and that, of course, was slavery... The Constitution was not capable of resolving that issue without a war so we had indeed a constitutional crisis.... Compare that to what's going on today. If you listen to... Chuck Schumer you think we're going have a civil war. No! Listen to Donald Trump.... He said I will comply with every court order and then I will appeal it. And he didn't say this but obviously his lawyers... will seek a stay.... You can't allow hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of federal judges sitting in obscure parts of the country somewhere... in Rhode Island or somewhere in the south of California to issue an injunction that covers everybody in the United States.... Democrats! Democrats! Don't yell wolf!... Don't tell us that there is no political recourse..... We have three independent branches of the government — not a fourth. The bureaucracy is not in the Constitution.... It's very complicated. And president Trump for the first time has said let's look hard at these bureaucracies.... If you want to complain about what the administration is doing, that's your right... but don't exaggerate...." Says Alan Dershowitz in his excellent new podcast. And Dershowitz thinks Trump is not necessarily wrong on the birthright citizenship question. He said "I'd love to argue it in front of the United States Supreme Court. I don't know how it would come out." That willingness has a limitation: I don't believe that the President of the United States has the power unilaterally to declare that birthright citizenship [excludes the children of those in the country illegally.... I think if Congress were to pass a statute that defined what the jurisdiction of the United States is we'd have an interesting case.... He's referring to the language of the 14th Amendment: "All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside." It's so so complex, birthright citizenship.... But just because the president is pushing a constitutional view further than I think it it deserves to be pushed doesn't mean we have a constitutional crisis.... The courts will decide the case and the courts... may decide it right... may decide it wrong... Nobody is going to be thrilled with every outcome... but don't call it a crisis when it's just a conflict .... Posted by Ann Althouse at 11:42 AM
This braindead boomer did nothing but post non stop hunter biden conspiracies for biden firing the Ukrainian prosecutor for 4 years straight. Weird how silent the MAGA boomer is now
Are you sincerely braindead? Like honestly? He isn't selling the country out to china? He reversed the tiktok ban that would've shut down tiktok aka CCP biggest propaganda tool out there. You think him attacking our allies is going help fight china? Are you braindead
I'm no longer responding to you because you cant be civil. The Bidens made millions off of China corruption. I'm for reciprocal tariffs.
Hunter biden getting paid by a Chinese company as a private cotizen is "corruption" for you MAGA but somehow Ivanka trump getting her trademarks and IP fast tracked in China while working at the WH with a security clearance is perfectly fine for yall. It's just comical how delusional yalls arguments are.
It's disturbing how much power Trump has taken - that's not how our system was designed - it was meant to keep any one person from having this kind of power.
Three weeks into Trump 2.0, Here’s How Much Money Trump Has Made Off His Presidency So Far a cool $40 million to license Melania’s documentary about returning to the White House as first lady. a hefty $10 million settlement with Elon Musk’s X the millions the president and first lady have each netted from “meme coin” cryptocurrency ventures, a blatant means of scamming MAGA supporters.
Nobody wants to be the goat who frees the mayor from the charges.Hilarious. Everyone knows this is blatant corruption and don’t want their names tied to it in the history books.
That's disgusting, but we knew it was all about Trump and the billionaires long before he started appointing a bunch of them into positions of power. It's always Trump first, screw the rest of you. Stealing from the poor and middle class to feed greedy appetites of the rich. Pigs. Gluttonous Pigs. Why did so many dumbasses not see this coming? Trump has always been a self-serving lying pig. Fools! Fools voted for that fraud and criminal. Fools sent him money to pay for his lawyers. How stupid can people be?
The easily defeatable bad faith arguments like the easily defeatable narrative of "auditing" all done with smirks is equivalent to that scene in Dark Knight rises where Bane puts his hand on the neck of that business man and says "do you feel in charge?" They are signalling to us they know these are stupid arguments and they is a show of force. It's them telling us "we know what this is and you can't stop us".
They are robbing America blind in the open. The world's richest man has convinced a large swath of the population he cares about them while in reality he's eliminating anyone who has regulatory authority of him. He fired the FAA chief cuz he fined spacex He fired FDA scientists who are in his way He fired the NLRB board who is investigating him Hes gutting the IRS before he has to pay them He eliminated the CFPB which has authority to regulate his new twitter cash His braindead cultists @Salvy @Tomstro don't care cuz theyre brainwashed by culture war garbage while the old boomers @Os Trigonum rehabilitate whatever he does. Its genuinely sad watching America implode in real time. It's not funny in any way
