You only need to follow lawful orders. Ordering the murder of civilians is not lawful. Because the act of murdering civilians is illegal.

    I mean, look around? Not saying people are not at risk of the law, but the rule of law is dead in the us.

    And yet judges keep ruling and the administration backs down. The concentration camp in Florida, closed. I'm not saying they aren't flouting it left and right, but it is still there and people are recording what they are doing for when they get thrown out.

    You still have ice out masked in force, still have camps, still have tarriffed the world, still have open bribery, and still have chilling lawsuits against media. All of which was ruled not cool by judges at some point, and either just done anyway or overruled at the supreme court.

    I agree. Shit is tenuous at best. I just don't buy into all the defeatism I'm seeing around here. Bunch of people are just doing the fascist jobs for them with this shit. Use the courts even if they are shitty right now, it's another tool.

    I don't think its defeatism, most of it is from people outside of the us pulling our hair out watching the usa pull the world into a dark pit while us citizens talk about "when things are normal again", "when the checks and balances kick in" and in this case "The courts will fix it".
