The court’s ruling ordering Trump not to deport a group of Venezuelan immigrants was an unprecedented rebuke. Are they finally taking back power?

Until trump is made to comply with the rule of law, no.
Or punished for breaking it.
This. Until he gets the Mussolini or Gaddafi treatment, there will be no justice
Preferably Gaddafi first, then mussolini. “The pee is getting into my knife wound!”
There are some verbal signs that Republicans are breaking. Representatives are slowly beginning to express doubts, but I’ll believe them when they actually do something
If he didn’t fuck over the economy, they’d still be on board. If there’s any silver lining, it’s that he’s incompetent and has surrounded himself with incompetent people. Republican congressmen and senators don’t care about the human right abuses, they care about their portfolios, which is why they have doubts now.
Is that how the law is supposed to work? People who break it are punished? Imagine that
John Marshall defined the supreme court for ~200 years. The history books will have a footnote about how John Roberts’ court ended the supremacy of the court.
Always worth keeping in mind that the first rule of power is that it never surrenders itself willingly.
In this case, what that means is thatthe courts - supreme or not - will only go along with Trump’s power grab for as long as the belief that it furthers their own power prevails. And that belief is cracking.
It’s cracking way too late to stop the power grab from progressing further, but still.
They didn’t see that coming when they ruled that Presidents are above the law?
What’s with all the highest levels of public service being filled with people with no common sense?
Nothing matters until it’s actually executed. Otherwise it’s just another “trust me bro he is not a king, we totally have laws”
Narrator: No.
It’s hopeful. I won’t believe it until either the administration backs down, or there are some real consequences. Presidential Immunity and the pardon make them pretty much untouchable until congress also grows a spine.
Betteridge’s law in motion…
Depends. Have the maga loonatics threatenrd their families over this decision yet?
No.
Is there actually hope for America?
Answer: See above
Yes. The question is if there’s hope in a better way than 1930’s Germany. They turned out all right, but it got a lot worse before it got better. We’ll see if America goes all the way to rock bottom or not. Trump fucking up the economy is ironically what gives me a sliver of hope.
