Supreme Court shows unflinching regard for Trump

ā€œEver since Chief Justice John Roberts swore in Donald Trump at the US Capitol January 20 – with the eight other Supreme Court justices looking on – the question has been whether they would restrain a president who vowed to upend the constitutional order.

The answer, a half-year later, is no.

That was underscored this month by the court’s decisions allowing Trump to fire another set of independent regulators, to dismantle the Department of Education and to deport migrants to dangerous countries where they have no citizenship or connection.

Meanwhile, the fissures among the nine have deepened. They have condemned each other in written opinions and revealed the personal strains in public appearances.ā€


The Court’s codification of unitary executive dogma was one of its worst, most destructive, decisions.
The court is ignoring the constitution in order to allow the Felon on Chief to hold unprecedented powers in the Executive branch. We are swifting sliding down an authoritarian slope.

Now the criminal in the WH. one of many l, wants to rule DC.

What unprecedented powers?

It shouldn’t come as a surprise that the Executive Branch IS ā€œunitary.ā€ For anyone familiar with Art II, that ā€œdogmaā€ is already pretty freakin’ obvious.

It looks like the SCOTUS has ruled (in general terms) for the Administration (so far) in maybe 80% of the emergency cases.

The Administration’s position (ie, the U.S. government’s position) on the ā€œon the meritsā€ decisions have gone 50 - 50.

This does not show any ā€œunflinching regardā€ for the President.
