Glad we sorted out that issue just in time for unauthorized strikes on boats in the caribbean.
Am I the only one thinking that resembles an act of war?
Resembles? It’s a literal act of war. They blew up a ship in international waters.
Even if those people were drug traffickers, they were just executed without a trial. Drug trafficking is not a capital crime in the US.
It’s not an ocean liner but America got pretty pissed at Germany for doing it. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/RMS_Lusitania
Well no Lusitania was doing exactly as was accused and was therefore a valid military target. It’s why you don’t ship tons of ammunition alongside passengers and as far as I’m aware it’s a war crime to do.
He’s gonna keep doing it anyway. He ignores court orders he doesn’t like and it hasn’t negatively affected him so far.
It’s almost like the power of the courts rely on people being essentially good faith actors within the system. They have no enforcement mechanism.
This is false, and I wish people would stop saying it. It’s worse than that. They are still complicit because they won’t use their enforcement mechanism.
The courts have the authority to deputize as many as they need to see a court order carried out. This has been rarely done, as the US Marshalls usually carry it out. However, the US Marshalls are under the Executive branch and the Executive has the final say with them.
The deputies of a court do not fall under the executive.
It’s like if someone was breaking into all the houses on the street, setting them on fire, and stabbing the inhabitants while the police stand around going “stop, eh”
He ignores them like a child pushing boundaries. He doesn’t respect them, he doesn’t fear consequences, but at the end of the day when the courts put their foot down he does back down
Abrego Garcia was brought back. Alligator Alcatraz is being dismantled. Many people are back at work after being illegally fired
The rule of law is gone… But all the law has ever been is what people are willing to enforce. Trump and Co don’t care about the law, but they’re not willing to get in a standoff
Trump’s reaction:
Cannot legally use the alien enemies act to…
Trump has committed so many crimes, being Donald Trump is illegal
Alleged members of Venezuelan gang.
