This is dictatorship. It's mild only because no one is fighting back. The moment someone tries the gloves will come off.
That is how they want everyone to feel so there isn't much fight back. However, I think if there was, and the gloves came off, it may also split Republicans and even Trumpers.
Telling the court that the court has no say. Bold move Cotton….
I mean hes done it before with no consequences so we'll see

So much to unpack there...
So the bestest president evah now caused a rebellion? Did that ever happen before to any president? Oh yeah, under trump 1 there was January the 6th, instigated and orchestrated by king Cheeto
And now there is another rebellion?
I mean, it's demonstrations but seeing that distinction is hard for smooth brain idiots
Then telling judges that they can't say no because else they can't stop a rebellion? I mean, you STARTED it, if you want to stop it's really easy: STOP BREAKING THE LAW!
And stop telling judges they can't do their job
The keyword is rebellion...
But it is not really about current protests ... it is to have all lights on green when there actually IS a rebellion cooking so the response can be swift and far beyond proportions.
"BECAUSE WE SAID SO!! OKAY?!"
"Because once we have that power, we'll use it on you if you speak out."
That's what authoritarianism is (leaving off the "OKAY?!").
yea, that's how fascism works. "judges" are there to protect the state from the people, not the other way around
Sounds like Dictatorship to me
That's some incredibly intense kneeling they're doing right there. Who knew the DOJ was so good at kissing the floor?
Whelp. Trump now has the means to get his 3rd term.
Obama 2028!
You are funny. He'll be dead before even giving the thought that he is running.
Welcome to fascism.
And Harvey Weinstein's lawyers say he's totally innocent too...
trumps been using the DOJ as his own lawyers, they're always gonna say he can do whatever he wants. Literally, they said nothing about this can be weighed on by any court:
“Our view is that this statute commits the decision whether to call up the forces to the president’s unreviewable discretion,” Shumate answered. “So no, there’s no role for the court to play in reviewing that decision.”
It two trump judges and one from Biden. And while the trump judges clearly disagree, they're gonna kick it to the SC.
Which is what was always going to happen here. Newsom isn't dumb enough to think a lawsuit would fix anything, he's just grandstanding because he wants to run for president.
It two trump judges and one from Biden. And while the trump judges clearly disagree, they're gonna kick it to the SC.
SCOTUS is an appeals court, they rule on lower court findings.
A lower court can't "kick it to the SC". They have to make a ruling.
