Vance says it out loud - we are above the law

The courts don't make policy, they uphold interpretation of laws as related to policy. That is their job, it isn't doing the WH job at all. If the felon doesn't cross the line to illegal, they don't intervene. So simple skidmark could do it... but he won't.

 

The President isn't responsible for disbursing federal funds?

He must have some authority over that, which is what makes it an interesting legal question.

 

no they can't do the job - they can just provide guidance on HOW to do it.

 

Then how can Trump actually control the funds?

He must have some power over them.

 

My point exactly.

Is that what this is? We'll find out in court.

Personally, I think a better long-term rule is Congress controls the purse. Period. No funny business withholding funds this way.

 

I think people are cheering for anything that will stop this madness and get this petulant child and his eugenics wannabe kingmaker out of authority.

what do you think should happen if he refuses to obey court orders?

 

it already failed 2x. and that was before he got potus immunity, and before he had Musk threatening any opposition in the house or senate

 

how much did they pay Murdoch news companies?

 

delay, delay, delay, and keep doing what you want to do in the meantime

lifetime SOP for the skidmark

 

no, but they can tell him if he is allowed to do it the way he wants to do it.

 

It's obviously just a new iteration of the Roy Cohn playbook - the Trump mentor who won fame orchestrating the Joe McCarthy trials.

Felony Don has just got Musk involved in it now; publicly lie, never backtrack from a lie, just spew more bullshit, flood the zone with lies, all while committing crimes and accusing others, fight everything in court.

The main difference is obviously the scope of it now; we've literally enabled a career criminal to wield the awesome power of the federal government to enrich himself and commit crimes.

It's all been obvious from the start.

 

Congress controls the funds, Trump controls Congress. And that's how he gets it done.

 

Impeachment.

 

we played that game before. didn't work out so well for law and order

 

I don’t see the gop impeaching him, no matter what he does.

 

Ell oh ell.

 

You disagree that SHOULD happen? That was the question.

 

Another supposed Constitutional check that can be easily avoided or has been rendered moot
