Can't seek. Banned by Constitution.
- bryanlarsen 1y agoMany things that are currently happening are also banned by the constitution.
- ethbr1 1y agoSuch as? Curious about examples that aren't currently winding their way through court challenges (as the Constitution intended). There's bad stuff happening, but it's also being vigorously legally challenged -- and will sure as hell be challenged by Congress if House and/or Senate changes hands in 2026.
- rco8786 1y agoDeportations and indefinite imprisonment without due process comes to mind. Disregarding SCOTUS decisions also.
- ethbr1 1y agoBoth of which are currently the subject of ongoing court cases. Or are you thinking about an example that isn't?
- mcphage 1y ago> Both of which are currently the subject of ongoing court cases. That’s a relief. It’s a good thing that he follows court orders against him, otherwise this situation where he doesn’t follow court orders against him would be a problem.
- ethbr1 1y agoExamples? If you're specifically talking about Garcia, that case is still active: https://www.chicagotribune.com/2025/05/08/trump-administration-state-secrets-privilege-kilmar-abrego-garcia/ https://www.chicagotribune.com/2025/05/08/trump-administrati...
- krapp 1y agoAnd Trump is ignoring the courts. So now what?
- nothercastle 1y agoI wasn’t going to challenge the poster on that but yeah there are legal hurdles. They aren’t immutable since we’re willing to using state of emergency and war declaration to sidestep normal safeguards. Death and disability old age is at the moment immutable.
- rco8786 1y agoAs he said himself, “there are methods”.
- tomrod 1y agoWhich is incorrect. It wouldn't be the first time he has failed to uphold the Constitution, and given his recent speed run to autocracy it won't be his last.
