    Who is going to hold the executive branch accountable? If they ignore the courts there is no one to hold them accountable.

      I am beginning to realize how inadequate the education people received in the US are.

      Both the Legislator and Judicial have the authority to deputize to make arrests in determination of contempt.

      The “sperate but equal” has meaning to it. The major difference is that over time the Republicans have allocated more and more funds to the Executive to enable them to build up a persistent “enforcement.”

      I’m beginning to wonder if the education we received was entirely on purpose.

        Please explain to me how they are going to arrest someone that can pardon himself and use the national guard or Army to protect himself?

          They aren’t going to. Talk it to death nothing will change. No court or Marshall can help anymore. They have instilled a fascist dictator who will not be removed without force.

            The deputized Marshalls are authorized to use force if necessary to apprehend the criminal.

    Alternatively, the government must provide the name of the person or people who chose not to halt Alien Enemies Act deportations out of the U.S. despite his order — and Boasberg said he would refer them for prosecution.

    Betting pool is open! Who do we think Drump and Co are going to throw under the bus this time?

        And the court will keep wagging fingers.

        A serious judge would deputize a citizen militia to arrest him.

        Nothing will meaningfully improve until the rich fear for their lives

          A serious judge would have ensured a multiple time convicted felon was not permitted to become a dictator in the formerly most powerful country in the world.

              It no longer surprises me that murica is in the state it is in. It did at first, I admit. Perhaps it’s my age. Or my general belief that people are good and care at least some, for their fellow man. Especially their own families, neighbors and friends regardless of their background.

              But that assumption is continually proven wrong lately. People willfully blind themselves to the obvious. They refuse to admit when everything has broken around them. They live in this weird place of denial grasping at things that are no longer effective or even present.

                Many of us are well aware that the system has been broken for years and that this was a likely result, but the system also made it very difficult to stop. (The mathematically determined 2 party stem we get with first past the post voting for instance).

                Once democrats blew it by giving up local power, they and the country, were done.

                  Expecting change without forcing it and ensuring it happens. Sitting back and blaming the politicians. You are the citizens who put them in power and you are the citizens who can remove them from that power. No one else. You. Your countrymen. Your families and friends. You.

    there’s a difference between cynical and defeated, you know. some of you act like you’ve given up. i don’t want those people for allies. just fucking leave the country or go back to playing video games, because you’re doing exactly what they want you to do.

      Telling people you disagree with to leave the country is the most conservative stance you can take. Just join the Republicans if you’re gonna be that far right
