Constitution Burning

 

 

Danger Fire Danger Fire Danger Fire

Nothing could have prepared the founding fathers for a Donald Trump when they wrote the Constitution. Despite all the differences of opinion at the time, there was a presumption that men in government (no women participated) would be basically of good will. And in case there were not people of good will, there were checks and balances.

Now those checks and balances are being tested. Trump is openly defying the law and when called on it, he is defying the court. The most prominent case of too many is Kilmar Abrego Garcia  who was sent to El Salvador's Auschwitz-style prison admittedly by mistake. Courts including the Supreme Court have ruled get him back or facilitate getting him back.

U.S. President Trump and El Salvador's President Bukele said in a very badly scripted White House appearance they don't have the power to return Kilmar. 

Really? How weak are they? 

The White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt claimed that Kilmar was a criminal although no evidence has been presented. No due process was followed, a violation of the Constitution.

Kilmar was legally in the U.S., married to a U.S. citizen and has no criminal record.

Trump claims he follows the law. Laughable considering he tried to overthrow an election as well as being a convicted felon. He tries to work around another ruling by changing AP's status and press corp arrangements to avoid complying with a court ruling. 

Now Trump is talking about deporting U.S. citizens who are criminals. After that it is just a small step to deporting non criminal U.S. citizens or making up charges such as disagreeing with Trump policies.

Demonstrate April 19th.

The man has to be stopped before the Constitution is in ashes.
