Summary

Trump intensified his criticism of judges, targeting U.S. Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts and Judge James Boasberg, accusing them of undermining his authority by blocking mass deportation plans.

Trump labeled judges opposing his actions as “Radical Left” and called for Boasberg’s impeachment after Boasberg blocked deportations under the 1798 Enemy Aliens Act.

Chief Justice Roberts countered, stating impeachment is not a remedy for judicial disagreements.

Trump’s rhetoric has raised concerns about increasing threats against judges amid ongoing legal disputes over his policies.

    “the majority of Americans” already don’t give a fuck. They’ll just listen to whatever the news tells them (and CNN et al are eager to not piss off trump). If we were actually going to go from 0 to building guillotines at the drop of a hat, wouldn’t it have happened when Power of the Purse was completely shat on? Or, you know, the violent insurrection?

    PEOPLE will “continue to follow laws” because laws apply to them.

    The fascists in charge of the government? They will ignore the laws because they won’t be enforced. And then they’ll make new laws to suit themselves (see: Attack a Tesla, get sent to gitmo).

    You are arguing the exact same fucking idiocy that schumer et al have: “Oh, well, there is a line they won’t cross because clearly the republicans are afraid of The American People and our love for decorum. And then we can talk and fix things”

      “the majority of Americans” already don’t give a fuck.

      Right now, I agree with you on this. I just said the same thing with what you’re replying to.

      And then they’ll make new laws to suit themselves (see: Attack a Tesla, get sent to gitmo).

      I said this too in the post you’re replying to. When those in power can make up any law they want at any time and have unjust consequences is when people won’t follow the law because its the law anymore. Law will be meaningless by then,

      You are arguing the exact same fucking idiocy that schumer et al have

      I’m not arguing it. I’m answering the question YOU posed. “Who cares?” I told you who cares. I don’t support it or like it, but its what is right now.

        Ah. I see. Your entire point is that a completely ineffectual group that will do nothing will be unhappy. So there is absolutely no reason for trump et al to care just like they haven’t cared about anything else.

        I “love” the “I am technically correct” reddit crowd.

          Not exactly. They’re not unhappy yet because they haven’t suffered the consequences of trump’s actions yet simply because of the inertia of an otherwise functioning government hasn’t come to halt yet. However, we are on the path where they will be unhappy eventually and thats when they’ll suddenly start to care.

          I “love” the “I am technically correct” reddit crowd.

          Listen friend, you asked a question and I gave you the benefit of the doubt you were actually interested in an answer because you were clearly upset (rightfully so!) about inaction by the American people. I read your post that you didn’t understand why anyone would care about how the Supreme Court was perceived. I couldn’t tell if you haven’t figured out we’re in a bit of an echo chamber here with friends.

          Yes, all of us here see the injustice. Yes, all of us here see the government overreach, the graft, the corruption on full public display for any that care to look and see it. Yes, all of us here see the way this is going is getting worse and not better. WE, IN HERE, DO NOT REPRESENT THE MAJORITY OF AMERICANS. Most Americans, at this point, don’t care. At a future point on this path they will. No, I don’t like it either.

          If you just want to rage post, I won’t stop you, there is a lot to rage about. However, I also don’t see any point just saying “yeah that!” to your posts if thats all you’re trying to do.
