I feel like anyone working in concert with a fascist state is a part of the fascist state. I feel like a lot of people miss this point.

For a recent example, they said the president cannot deport people under the Alien Enemies Act and that the government needs to give people a reasonable timeline to get a lawyer and mount a legal defense.
And then said,"But we can't make him stop ignoring us"
What happens if in a couple of months, the federal government just sends some people to El Salvador under the Alien Enemies Act- directly ignoring the SC?
Nothing at all.
Or the military parade… or the tariffs… defunding NOAA hoping for a destructive hurricane, etc. It’s chaos for the sake of chaos. Same reason they deported the Venezuelans in the first place without habeas corpus.
I think it's more about building up the dictatorship, so nothing stands in his way.
You or I may not agree with the SC on every ruling. But the individuals on there, for the most part, are scholars of the constitution and hold a deep respect for it. It’s why even people like Kavanaugh who was appointed by Trump will sometimes rule against his interests.
This is a fucking laughable joke. You're kidding, right?
We may disagree on some interpretations but these people genuinely believe in the rule of law. This will inevitably clash with the administration.
lol, ok. Which law? Bible law? Trump law?
In fact, I foresee a future showdown with the Supreme Court that has potential to cause a constitutional crisis.
What evidence do you have for this? Honestly asking here.
I mean, the SCOTUS basically ruled the federal level electeds, appointeds, and hirees all have qualified immunity for "official acts", and "official acts" are anything Trump says. The SCOTUS also ruled the courts cannot stop the POTUS from doing anything, except in extremely narrow ways. The SCOTUS also ruled that every regulation is a government overreach. The SCOTUS also ruled money is speech. The SCOTUS also ruled that Trump can, at will, deploy the military on US soil to wage war against it's citizens.
The substance is "Judges aren't checking him, and have stated they cannot"
Nah, pushing 50, and have seen this dog and pony show get worse since the 80's, with people saying, "Don't worry! Our system will keep things in check!" as all of the checks are discarded.
Let me guess, just vote bloo no matter hoo, right?
