No one cares about these items themselves, they're just emblematic of this administration's narcissism and ignorance.
We don't need a law that says people can't break the law... That already exists. It's called the law. We do clearly need to severely limit the powers of the executive branch. Get rid of pardons, get rid of executive orders, etc. It's proven that these powers can and will be abused. The glacial pace that govt moves at takes years to catch up with illegal executive orders.
We're definitely doing the opposite but the pendulum swings hard sometimes. I mean just 11 years ago we had a black Democratic President.
The Supreme Court ruled that the president is above the law. The only way to permanently reverse that without destroying everything is with a Constitutional Amendment.
Only in so far as his official acts as President. He can still be charged for stuff he does outside of his presidential duties.
Something tells me that every illegal thing President Pedophile does is an official act as President.
Of course, we don't have to worry, because the Supreme Court will stop him. /s
It simply isn't.
You know that, and I know that, but I have the feeling neither of us is on the Supreme Court.
It doesn't matter whose on the Supreme Court, it's still illegal.
Who says its illegal? The Supreme court determines what is illegal.
The law decides what is legal. The Supreme Court just interprets it. If the law says diddling kids is illegal, and The Supreme Court says kiddy diddling is ok, it's still illegal .
I mean he literally could shoot someone on 5th Avenue and get away with it. His whole second election was only due to the fact that if he wasn't elected he would have been placed into jail in any fair country... But hey America, land of the corrupt pedofiles.
That's not because it's not illegal...?
You say that as if the France doesn’t fucking exist. I feel like everyone just fucking forgets that all of our fucking countries are shitty. It’s only a fucking America meanwhile France has harboring fucking pedos and the UK let one just go fuck dead bodies.
Well guessing they are all rich. Rich people seem to like fucking weird shit.
