It's too soon to tell how serious President Trump is in defiance of the Constitution. In his first 28 days, he signed an order to nullify birthright citizenship for some—a right guaranteed by the 14th Amendment.

Lower courts are holding up many of the president's priorities, but nothing has risen to the Supreme Court where these battles over presidential power could rewrite history. Presidents often push limits — FDR's New Deal for example — and voters in this last election wanted change. But the scope and speed of Trump's reach for power may be unprecedented. One example is a 63-year-old agency created by Congress, codified in law and eviscerated, by Trump, in a matter of days.

Hey CoonAss! What actual proof do you have to back up your statement?
Musk is finding graft, theft and wastes of money. I see nothing wrong with the whole program. But I am not stealing taxpayer dollars.
Here is one of those threads when an honest rational person is suppressed from sharing an unbiased opinion.
Because if the do they will be stoned and burned at the stake.
after seeing how much much is being stolen from the treasury, I’m now thinking most of these old time senators are secret billionaires. No wonder why they’re upset about it all coming to an end.
Chelsea Manning....
IRS, CIA, NSA, BATF, and other ferals are also unelected boobs who wreck havoc on citizens. I prefer the ones who wreck havoc upon the ferals.
YET the tens of thousands of unelected unaccountable bureaucrats at the IRS are paragons of virtue and trustworthiness.
Hyperbole much, Mister Suppressed Honest Rational Person?
