The US constitution is in peril. Civil and human rights are being trampled upon. The economy is in disarray.
At this rate, we will not make it through the second 100 days.
Federal judges in more than 120 cases so far have sought to stop Trump â judges appointed by Republicans as well as Democrats, some appointed by Trump himself â but the regime is either ignoring or appealing their orders. It has even arrested a municipal judge in Milwaukee amid a case involving an undocumented defendant.
Recently, Judge J Harvie Wilkinson III of the court of appeals for the fourth circuit â an eminent conservative Reagan appointee who is revered by the Federalist Society â issued a scathing rebuke to the Trump regime. In response to its assertion that it can abduct residents of the US and put them into foreign prisons without due process, Wilkinson wrote:
If today the Executive claims the right to deport without due process and in disregard of court orders, what assurance will there be tomorrow that it will not deport American citizens and then disclaim responsibility to bring them home? And what assurance shall there be that the Executive will not train its broad discretionary powers upon its political enemies? The threat, even if not the actuality, would always be present, and the Executiveâs obligation to âtake Care that the Laws be faithfully executedâ would lose its meaning.
The great thing about the constitution is that it also has rules for how to fucking change it. That was one of earliest things that got changed.
So, despite its ability to âeasilyâ be amended, it still enshrines the right to enslave people? How is that supposed to make me feel better?
Stop apologizing for your wack ass constitution that was made solely by 20 something, white, male landowners. We are seeing now how easy it is to throw it out. Weak ass document.
