In my view, the government has demonstrated over and over again that it is not morally justified, and is in that sense, illegitimate,. Sure, it has the brute force to knock down dissent, but as far as I am concerned, the government is out of control and out of constitutional boundaries. It will never use its own law to rein itself in. Congress does have the power, in principle, to correct this - with more than one means., It can impeach, it can disband the courts, or it can legislate the immigration order that Trump attempted to impose. But Congress is not interested in controlling the borders, it is all in for globalism.
I do appreciate the realpolitik of this. Congeress and the courts will tag tem to impeach Trump. Courts will continue to make asinie rulings against executive power, and Congress will furrow its brow. If Trump tells the Courts to stuff it, Congress will impeach the president.
Totally out of control system. Oh, the government of Venezuela is legitimate too - see its court decisions.
That’s a fair question. As long as we are a nation of laws, no. If we were talking about something that was worse like them okaying capital punishments based on political ideology or some such I’d have to review that.
I personally think this is way over the top, jumping in to stop Trump. The problem is, if Trump goes rogue, then we have not just one branch gone rogue, we have two.
When you have then is total chaos. The next Leftist president that comes long, they can then go rogue too. That’s a thought I don’t want to contemplate.
Imagine Obama rounding up Conservatives or some such.
