Summary
Federal judges from the Reagan, Clinton, Biden, and even Trump administrations have blocked several Trump policies, challenging his attempts to bypass the rule of law.
Their rulings stopped actions on birthright citizenship, spending freezes, and federal restructuring.
These decisions angered Trump supporters, with figures like Musk and allied senators demanding judicial impeachment and defiance.
With the GOP-controlled Congress largely silent, the courts have become the sole check on Trump’s expanding power.
Maybe this is like that show, “To catch a predator”, and the courts are just waiting for Musk and Trump to break a really big rule before they are arrested?
Yeah… Right.
The courts ain’t doing 💩
The only cops enforcing/fighting any of this right now are the FBI, and they are mostly just trying to protect themselves.
The rest of the cops in the country are all for this.
When those who are expected to enforce the law and decisions of the courts refuse to do so because they disagree, the courts don’t have a lot of recourse.
The white supremacists in our police forces were and are the peoblem.
Self-protection is usually a good motivator and US checks and balances are based on it. But now we’re finding out what happens when the court rules the president has no limits and Congress isn’t interested in their constitutional authority to make laws and allocate money. When all the branches, all the levels, just bow down to the authoritarian, what can you do? When they’re not interested in protecting their own authority, what can you do? They’re all complicit in delivering fascism
They’re all complicit in delivering fascism
And that’s the bottom line.
