Trump Has Gone From Unconstitutional to Anti-Constitutional

[Stann]

Trump respects the Constitution. It was not his FBI that had a back door to Twitter to delete posts and violate the true spirit of the First Amendment. Musk saved 1A in the USA. You can still go to X and read thousands of posts about the bad orange man.

OK’s avatar gives me nightmares. Shere Khan vibes, I can hear the British accent!

trump has shown only contempt for the Constitution , he totally ignores the oath he took to uphold and protect it.

You are talking like one of the extremists. I harbor no ill will towards anyone , even trump ; I despise ignorance and lies though and the confusion they lead to.

Ugh, it is just insufferable

You are doing this to yourself. Politics should not be a priority in anyone's life. Even those who are in it. Life is too short to make yourself miserable.

No, he has not

Once again a 7-2 SCOTUS declares Trump is anti-American.

Sign on POTUS Truman's desk;
"The Buck Stops Here"

Congress might write the checks, but the POTUS signs and cashes them, or NOT !
Such is the duty and job of the POTUS.

And Congress can overrule the executive branch ( headed by the president ) when they need to with a 2/3rds. majority vote. That's how our democracy works.

One word comes to mind. Dictator

I just wanted to add there are 3 divisions of power of equal value. trump and those who support him seem to believe he is all powerful , he is not , especially when breaking the law.

I'm not among those supporting who believe him "all powerful".
However I haven't seen any proof he is breaking any laws.
Our nation is a Republic, not a Democracy.

Here we go again , yes the form of our government is a Republic , based on democratic ideals which makes it a democracy.. we are not a dictatorship , we are not a kingdom , we a not a socialist republic, we are not a communist republic , we are a Democratic Republic or simply a democracy.

Sorry komrade stann, we are not a democracy.
The people don't personally vote on each bill or piece of legislation(law) going thru Congress.
We may use "democracy" when voting for our representatives and other ~ Executive Branch officers; but the laws passed by the House often require a passing vote of the people(citizens).

Sorry , I've heard it called a representative democracy , that's about as far as I am willing to go. A Republic is the form or framework of the government ( working substance ) not what it is to the people. Freedom still reigns for the most part. Of the people , by the people ,for the people what could represent a democracy more. No need to reply , that's the definition of a democracy.

Better check your dictionary.
In a democracy all the citizens vote on all the issues and bills, laws to be made, etc.
We can't all spend most of our days "in Congress" so we elect representatives = republic.

That is why we have a representative democracy. We elect politicians to do that toris.rbiddong. A pure democracy has never existed. The Greeks got close to having a pure democracy but they failed to. Likewise there hasn't been a pure Communist regime either.

Donald Trump believes he is above the law. And people excuse and support this.

Trump Has Gone From Unconstitutional to Anti-Constitutional​

Most of us know what it means for something to be unconstitutional. An unconstitutional act is one that violates some aspect of the Constitution as understood by the courts, although the public and its representatives are also free to make claims about the constitutionality of one act or another.

The courts have said, among other things, that racial segregation in public schools is unconstitutional; that unequal representation in state legislatures is unconstitutional; and that laws banning same-sex marriage are unconstitutional. Moving to the present, we can say that President Trump’s order overturning birthright citizenship is, according to the plain text of the 14th Amendment, unconstitutional. There is also a strong argument that the president’s effort to remove transgender people from military service is, as a court ruled Tuesday night, unconstitutional.

You get the picture.

But there are other ways to evaluate the actions of a government. You can ask a somewhat different question: not whether an action is constitutional, but whether it sits opposed to constitutionalism itself. You can ask, in other words, whether it is anti-constitutional.

The project of constitutionalism, the historian Henry Steele Commager wrote, is the project of “government under law, by law, through law, in conformity with law.” It is, to borrow from John Locke, “to have a standing rule to live by, common to every one of that society, and made by the legislative power erected in it.” And in the American political tradition, it is the central principle that “governments are not omnipotent” but of “only limited authority.”

An anti-constitutional act is one that rejects the basic premises of constitutionalism. It rejects the premise that sovereignty lies with the people, that ours is a government of limited and enumerated powers and that the officers of that government are bound by law.

The new president has, in just the first two months of his second term, performed a number of illegal and unconstitutional acts. But the defining attribute of his administration thus far is its anti-constitutional orientation. Both of its most aggressive and far-reaching efforts — the impoundment of billions of dollars in congressionally authorized spending and the attempt to realize the president’s promise of mass deportation — rest on fundamentally anti-constitutional assertions of executive authority.
