Critics, including lawmakers and legal experts, denounced his claims as unconstitutional.

This debate follows recent federal rulings blocking Trump’s executive actions, including spending freezes and an order ending birthright citizenship.

    Why, after everything, do people still believe that conservatives and normies would demand a stop to unconstitutional shenanigans “if they only knew…”.

    They know, or they don’t care, or both.

    Are we seeking validation through the press? Because that’s all they’ve left to offer.

      Very true, nothing changed after it was revealed we tortured people in the Afghanistan/Iraq wars, and nothing changed after Snowden showed mass spying on US citizens.

      We’ve been at a point where disclosure basically means nothing to the world at large, simply because of the massive amounts of information produced and disseminated every day.

      Maybe the information age was a mistake.
