Roberts is definitely not friendly to Trump. If he were, since he controls the FISA court, he would have called those judges on the carpet.

The President of the United States enforces the law not the courts. There is no law on the books allowing ‘our’ corrupt stasi state to give children born to illegal aliens citizenship at birth.

The courts have no say in the matter. And they’re certainly not the final arbiters on the law and Constitution. Despite the widespread brainwashing that they are...

Nonetheless, that’s the basis of the bureaucratic position on issuing birth certificates to anchor babies.

This time you used great economy of words in missing my point (the point being, “literal meaning”).

The word, “democracy”, comes to us from the Greek language, in which “demos” means “the people”; and “kratia” means “rule” (or power). So the literal meaning of “democracy” is “the people rule”, like it or not.

So it’s a handy word, regardless of how many times people may or may not have misused it.

lol...You mean they’re completely lawless and out of control. I agree, those bureaucrats need to be brought to justice for aiding and abetting the foreign invasion of the United States.

Just the opposite of our Constitutional republic. Rule of law vs the rule of the mob(democracy).

We have a very limited democratic process to elect our representatives. That’s the extent of our ‘democracy’. ICYMI, the ever expanding voting franchise is indirectly proportional to the deprivation of our rights and freedoms.

Thank you. Great explanation. And it gives me a little hope.
