8 days agoAssuming we actually get another regular presidential election, the future of this country is going to depend heavily on whether or not the next president is willing to take extreme measures to correct a court that has repeatedly shown that it’s okay to do blatantly illegal and unconstitutional shit as long as you’re a Republican
Even if the courts eventually shoot down his bullshit orders eventually, they’re not allowed to stop him from enforcing them until the case is over, except against the specific plaintiffs in their court.
So assuming that his birthright citizenship order is defeated, as soon as the SCOTUS 30-day pause is up, he can start stripping people of citizenship and deporting them right away. If that order is overturned? Then he’ll have to deal with whatever the court says he needs to do, but he’ll still have destroyed a bunch of people’s lives in the process
