Although #Trump eagerly points out he has the #Constitutional authority to #pardon a sex-abuser of underage girls, he neglected to reveal what this particular criminal would have to give him in exchange. One could guess...

Bluesky Social · Aaron Rupar (@atrupar.com)Trump on pardoning Ghislaine Maxwell: "I'm allowed to do it"

Court’s #Liberals R Trying to Tell #Americans Something But look closer at the dissents & it is evident that whatever their differences 3 liberals agree on overarching theme: They no longer C #SupremeCourt playing by old game of #constitutional #law. Their dissents suggest anything but an assumption of business as usual. They R writing about majority unbound by law, its tiresome technicalities about majority that is no longer doing law as term has come to be understood. theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/

#Trump Claims Sweeping #Power to #Nullify #Laws, Letters on #TikTok #Ban Show. In purporting to license otherwise #illegal conduct by #tech firms, Trump set a #precedent expanding #executivepower, #legal experts warned. #AG #Bondi told #BigTech the could lawfully #violate #statute barring American companies from supporting TikTok based on sweeping claim that President Trump has the #constitutional power to set aside #laws, newly disclosed documents show. nytimes.com/2025/07/03/us/poli #democracy #maga

Attorney General Pam Bondi wrote in letters to technology companies that President Trump had decided that shutting down TikTok would interfere with his “constitutional duties to take care of the national security and foreign affairs of the United States.”

#Democratic #State Attorneys General #Testify on #Lawsuits Against #Trump Administration

"Democratic state attorneys general testified on suing the Trump administration for what they considered #constitutional violations. Topics included the deployment of U.S. troops in states, cuts to federal funding for #education and #scientific research, #immigration enforcement, and politicization of law enforcement"

People have been debating whether the U.S. is in a #constitutional #crisis for some time.

This argument is pointless because everyone has a different definition of crisis.

However the recent #SCOTUS rulings repeatedly enabled Trump to do whatever he wants; the U.S. #Congress abdicated its duty to provide oversight of the #Trump administration, and docile reactions from the American public at large, you know that the traditional Check and Balance is gone.

USA is a full-on #dictatorship.

It's important to state up front that this doesn't end #birthright #citizenship. As #JusticeJackson notes, it does give the #President the power to violate everyone's #Constitutional rights & only give them back to people who can sue. I wonder if that was the real point? #SCOTUS #14thAmendment

Supreme Court sides with Trump...

SCOTUSblog · Supreme Court sides with Trump administration on nationwide injunctions in birthright citizenship caseBy Amy Howe

Trump’s effort, combined thrust of his other #constitutional transgressions, uniquely dangerous. No indication he gave any thought to seeking #congressional #authorization. As self-concerned, immature a commander-in-chief as country has had, he likely acted, as always, out of crass self-interest. #Israel surprisingly successful #bombardment of last week put him in position to be a winner by finishing off the job—very possibly the only thing that was in his #lizard #brain. harrylitman.substack.com/p/tru

Continued thread

The #state AGs said the directive “usurps the States’ #constitutional #power & seeks to amend #ElectionLaw by fiat.” The #Trump admin defended the order as “standing up for free, fair & honest elections” & called proof of citizenship a “commonsense” requirement.

Judge Denise J. Casper of the US District Court in Massachusetts said in Friday’s order that the #states had a likelihood of success as to their #legal challenges.

The only positive thing is that now
It is official
media, politicians, no longer play with words
#trump and his 'administration' no longer hide it
Trump is a #fascist wants to be a #dictator
#MAGAs are #racist fascists
Now that it is finally accepted and clear
...
Do you want to live under a fascist dictatorship? Goons squads in the street?
violence? intimidation? abuse?
No legal or #Constitutional protection? no rights ?
supervised by police and army?
US want to be a new Nordkorea or Russia?
