Distract? Targeting a celeb is a distraction, but not from Epstein. It's a power move saying he plans to strip rights from any enemy, regardless of what the law says. He plans to disappear anyone with his Gestapo, from famous people that cause problems to scapegoats the fascists tell him to.
As evil as his Epstein shit might be, it is a crime of the past that cannot be undone. Conversely, him sending anyone he pleases to deathcamps is an active danger in the present and future.
Why doesn't anybody ever point out that it's unconstitutional?
Doesn't anyone bother to correct Trump anymore? I know it's tiresome when the guy told 30,573 verfied lies during his first term. That's 21 lies per day on average that all need to be debunked, and that's a lot of work. But that's not a reason to let him run with any old bullshit.
Trump can't strip anybody of their citizenship, anymore than foreign countries pay for his stupid tariffs. Rosie O'Donnell is quite safe.
Trump can’t strip anybody of their citizenship
While true, that doesn't matter anymore since being a citizen isnt a defense against this administration's most egregious offenses. American citizens have disappeared into ICE custody already.
Since there is no due process being allowed for ICE detainees, they have no ability to challenge they're detention and prove their citizenship. Removing someone's citizenship is irrelevant if you they can be disappeared by ICE anyway.
Like how his EO eliminating birthright citizenship is also unconstitutional? SCOTUS said it's fine because they felt like it.
This is very simplified. It’s more like the SCOTUS prevented a lower court from checking the Presidents’ and the Executive’s power and authority while the case is still unfolding in the courts.
They’ve already established before, that only the SCOTUS and Congress have authority to check the President. This is a continuation of that.
So, birthright citizen ship cases just got orders of magnitude more difficult to defend, and the same with preventing the current POTUS from ripping up the constitution on any given day.
Even this can use some aditional context. SCOTUS took away a tool, nationwide injunctions, that judges were using to pause executive actions by presidents in both parties. They said that a class action was more appropriate, and a District Court judge has already certified a class for people affected by the birthright citizenship EO, and its accompanying injunction should go into effect by the end of the week.
This SCOTUS has been insanely cowardly in not taking on this stuff head-on, but I do tend to think that that other than Thomas and Alito, they think much of this shit is unconstitutional, so they're intentionally slow-playing it with narrow rulings, hoping the mid-terms and public opinion will save them from having to piss off Papa Trump and the MAGAs. It's disgraceful because it's hurting the country and real people, but hopefully it's not unfixable in a structural sense.
Dictatorships are above laws.
because the constitution is simply a promise by the powers in charge at any given time. it is not immutable. the powers that wrote it, for the record, have been slow loosing grip on reality and have been changing more and more over the last half century or so. overton window and all that jazz.
I mean the very first sentence has a lot of commas but at the end of it, it mentions it.
Fuck off and show us the epstien list you stupid pedo. Distractions and grifts is all this guy knows ffs
trump is a fascist piece of trash monster. this is not a new idea. remember kids, the “constitution” is not immutable and what the nazis did was “legal” during its time. trump will pull the same kinds of tricks.
When did Trump get a law degree and a judge appointment? Cause only judges can do that , as far as I know
Sounds like something a king wants to do.
