Summary
The American Bar Association (ABA) condemned Trump’s administration for disregarding the rule of law, urging courts and attorneys to push back.
ABA President William R. Bay criticized Trump’s rapid executive orders and restructuring of government agencies, including USAID’s dismantling.
He reminded the administration of the three coequal branches of government and praised a federal judge for blocking Trump’s executive order against birthright citizenship, emphasizing that the 14th Amendment guarantees this right.
Amid multiple lawsuits and government turmoil, Bay called on elected officials to defend legal norms, stating, “These are not partisan or political issues… We must stand up for the values we hold dear.”
Please fuck off with that weak apologia bullshit.
I know this place is pretty much the Neoliberal Excuses HQ, but there MUST be a limit to the willfully obtuse fawning and victim blaming, even at @politics! 🤦
