How do you reconcile that proposition with the observable reality of the courts routinely blocking the current administration's excesses?
- dpkirchner 2mo agoIt takes months or years for courts to intervene and even then they often set aside rulings because they expect appeals. All the while the abuses continue. How many years do you suppose we'll have to wait to see the Trump family subject to tax law?
- Gormo 2mo ago> It takes months or years for courts to intervene and even then they often set aside rulings because they expect appeals. Interesting. Again, how do you reconcile that theory with the with the large number of court cases involving Trump's specific actions that managed to make it all the way up to the Supreme Court, leading to many clear rulings against Trump, all within the first year and a half of his current term?
- m4rtink 2mo agoWhy can a single person do so much damage, if only temporarily? Are you in a monarchy or something?
- dpkirchner 2mo agoA year and a half is a long time to cause a lot of harm. Way, way too long.
- theshrike79 2mo agoRuling against someone who's immune from repercussions does nothing. Especially when they've already done the thing. Like demolish a whole wing of the White House without any review or control. Starting a wa... sorry. Special Military Operation unilaterally etc. All illegal but whatchagonnado when they already did it?
