And we are not in the end-stage assault on the Constitution yet. We are in the beginning stages, which involve ignoring lower-court rulings, trampling first-amendment rights, taking illegal actions that few will object to (eg, firing protected workers, refusing to pay money appropriated by Congress, etc).

If and when we get to bigger stages, only one thing is for sure: You'll be all-in.

        Terrorist groups illegally entered this country. Who enforced the law there? [NT] - Hensou - 1:12pm 3/17/25

        You support TDA and MS-13 being in this country illegally? [NT] - Hensou - 1:43pm 3/17/25
        No. I oppose ignoring court rulings. [NT] - Chris94 - 2:21pm 3/17/25

        Again, the issue is ignoring court rulings. I know law is hard. [NT] - Chris94 - 2:38pm 3/17/25
        Higher courts will decide the issues as to whether Trump had the right to deport them. Not you. - Hensou - 2:46pm 3/17/25
        The executive has no authority to ignore lower courts while it appeals. Nice try. [NT] - Chris94 - 3:16pm 3/17/25
        Unless the judge has no authority to issue the order. Nice try. - Hensou - 3:32pm 3/17/25

        That kid at Columbia was not a terrorist. And those gang members are criminals, not terrorists. - Chris94 - 1:26pm 3/17/25
        Agreed for the Columbia student. What rights do the criminals here illegally have? - jakers - 1:46pm 3/17/25
        I'm all for deporting them. But the president cannot ignore a federal judge. - Chris94 - 2:13pm 3/17/25

        Judges can't prevent him from enforcing the law. - Hensou - 3:02pm 3/17/25
        Yes they can, if he is enforcing it illegally. Your civics classes failed you. [NT] - Chris94 - 3:17pm 3/17/25
        Then he is not enforcing the law, Prof. [NT] - Hensou - 3:30pm 3/17/25
        Exactly. And that for a court to decide - which it has. [NT] - Chris94 - 3:31pm 3/17/25
