Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts issued a rare statement Tuesday criticizing attacks by President Trump and his allies on federal judges. “For more than two centuries, it has been established that impeachment is not an appropriate response to disagreement concerning a judicial decision,” he said. Roberts’s statement came after Trump called for the impeachment of U.S. District Judge James Boasberg, who ordered the Trump administration to stop using the 1798 Alien Enemies Act to deport immigrants. On Saturday, the administration ignored Boasberg’s order to turn around three deportation flights bound for El Salvador. We speak with The Nation's justice correspondent Elie Mystal on the Trump-led breakdown of constitutional order. “There's not a coming constitutional crisis,” says Mystal. “We are in a constitutional crisis right now.”
Yes, this is the point where the US became a fascist state. Not the genocide of natives, slavery, Japanese internment, Jim Crow Laws, CIA assassination~probably~ of a president lacking in imperial ambition, emplacement and backing of anticommunist dictatorships worldwide, or explicit imperial wars for nonrenewable resources. No no, this right here was the turning point.
