- #Democrats Rep. announce trip to #ElSalvador to retrieve #Garcia -
🤣 THAT's > stupid at the suicidal level
#Americans have not yet understood they do NOT live in a #Constitutional #Democracy anymore
#TRUMP will probably call the president of #ElSalvador asking him to make them 'disappear' with Garcia.
And nobody in the US will be able to find them.

If the Parliamentary Representatives believe they are 'protected' by their #Institutional position or the 'mighty' #US ... they are crazy

The result is an extraordinary threat to fundamental #constitutional rights of #DueProcess & #LegalRepresentation….

#Legal scholars say no previous US admin has taken such concerted action against the legal establishment, with #Trump’s predecessors in both parties typically respecting the constitutionally enshrined tenet that everyone deserves effective representation in court & that #lawyers cannot be targeted simply for the cases & clients they take on.

Unsurprisingly

#LawFirms refuse to represent #Trump opponents in the wake of his attacks

Trump issued yet another #ExecutiveOrder Tuesday sanctioning yet another #law firm, Jenner & Block. The result overall has been called an extraordinary #threat to #constitutional rights of #DueProcess & #legal representation & a far weaker effort to challenge Trump’s actions in court than during his first term.

Fraenkel offered a simple, yet powerful, picture of how the #constitutional & #legal foundations of the Weimar Republic eroded, & were replaced by #strongman-style rule in which the commands of the #Nazi Party & its leader became paramount. His perspective was not grounded in abstract political theory; it grew instead from his experience as a Jewish lawyer in Nazi Berlin representing #dissidents & other disfavored clients.

Can we still talk about a
'#Constitutional crisis' in #America?

Because to call it a 'Constitutional crisis'
It is first necessary
that a compendium of >binding< Constitutional laws >exist
if the laws are not binding... they are NOT laws
there is NO 'Constitution' or rule of Law.
Trump (by decree of the Scotus) is not tied by laws
much less by a 'Constitution' that has been ignored
many time to bring Trump to power.

So
is it a Constitutional crisis if the Constitution is no more followed ?
