Trmp is defying the Supreme Court ruling.

No one is declaring a Constitutional Crisis.
When does that happen and what happens next?
Does trmp skate just like he has his entire miserable life.

Somehow that’s been on hold for a lot longer than 90 days. I don’t think I’ve heard a word from Tom Cotton.

...and invade Iran. Along with everyone else who wants to. My guess is they'll see you coming.

defies a Supreme Court decision he acts outside his official duties and his actions are not covered by presidential immunity.

It would give their branch a little leverage. They could clean up their mess a little bit and protect the judicial independence.

Or, until millions of us decide in unison to stand up to him. Will we be inconvenienced enough to save or freedoms?

They have no idea how to move the goalposts so they can pretend to be a functioning branch of the government. The only remedy at this point is impeachment by the House, trial in the Senate, and removal from office after a 2/3 guilty vote.

None of that is going to happen, so they have to find a way to pretend it all still works.

Wouldn't a Constitutional crisis be an attack on the Constitution also? Those that take the oath of office swear to
defend it against all enemies foreign and domestic. No one that has taken that oath past and present has used it as leverage and a shield and go before the floor mic and label the orange convict and musky Domestic Enemies and call for their immediate arrest. Bold move, you bet, shows gumption and fight. Can't be any worse than Senator Schumer's letters. The orange one has been throwing EO's against the wall seeing what will stick. We need to throw stuff at the wall also.
Domestic Enemy and LOCK HIM UP! needs to be in their face.

They should be held to account, betraying their Constitutional mandate and all.

Like Trump, the owners are traitors.

But who knows if anything will? It seems like no one is going to stand up to him. At least someone started impeachment proceedings.

of their orders. Until that happens we are in this holding pattern. The Garcia judge gave the government another 2 weeks, about 2 weeks ago. Something should be happening on that anytime now, but M$M has gone silent on it.

It's sickening, but the Government hasgiven themselves the power to round up anyone they claim is a threat, without a warrant, and without so much as a hearing before a judge. They are exercising the power to eject people from the country and improsion them in El Salvador on no charges indefinitely.

But the reason why most people are not alarmed is that they think the color of their own skin will make them immune from this type of treatment. And they are wrong in that.

It's a 5 alarm fire in our Democracy. Trump and his cabal will start sending his enemies to these gulags.
