‘You Can’t Do This In A Nation Of Laws’
"You can't do this in a nation of laws."
Said everyone who's so far failed to stop the Trump admini
UGH Spoken as a true democrat. Or should I say help!
Rule of law speaks to the laws in the legal system, but also to the way the entire system is managed. Rule of law demands some consistency over time. If laws are continually struck down or defanged, precedent ignored, and most rulings based on a new interpretation of existing law, then there are laws only, no rule. Might be why more countries are busily establishing new business and financial relationships that exclude the US. If you don’t have to, who in their right mind wants to work for Donald, Man of Peace. Unless you stand to make many many millions or get to inflict pain on everyone perceived to have aggrieved you during your formative years – I’m looking at you Mr. Miller.
Actually, you can’t do this in a nation of “norms”. We thought there was existing legislation to protect us from the willful destruction that the White House is engaged in, but we were wrong. If the Dems are worth anything, between now and next fall they’ll come up with a “swing for the fences” plan to fix a lot of stuff, and fast. Then, they’ll have to sell that plan in as full-throated a way necessary to retake the House, and then they’ve got to begin the impeachment of Pam Bondi, and she’s just the first of a half dozen. They’ll want to keep their hands off Trump because the impeachments inside his cabinet and senior staff will neuter him with less hassle. And because at least a few of them are spinless enough to scald him on the way out, he may be forced to resign.
We’ve already gone a long way toward losing our Democracy…it’s time to bring on the scorched earth.
The Supreme Court is poised to overturn part of the Voting Rights Act before the midterms. That will impact another 16 House seats that are currently majority minority districs. The math is going to get exceedingly difficult.
First, ax a chunk of the voting rights act, then declare some form of martial law for all cities over 1 million or so. Send out the troops to all those spots, and Bob’s your uncle, cancel the 2026 elections, dump the Congressional democrats and there you’ve got it a country with no laws run by …. wait for it …. JD Vance (Donald J is running short on time these days.
Are employees legally guaranteed a job in the private sector in “right to work” states or non-unionized industries in US? Asking for a friend.
Tell your friend, not as far as I know. No one anywhere in the US is guaranteed a job for any reason. The right work just means you can’t make employees pay union dues or join the union in those states.
I think it’s high time that we stop calling our made up rules that we apply when we feel like it and completely ignore when we don’t, “laws”. Gravity is a law, it’s always true and always present and while you can generate enough force to counter it, it never ceases to exist. The stuff people write down and tell each other is a law is absolutely not that.
Walter Peck (Russ Vought) shutting down the containment unit. We all know how that worked out. Who ya gonna call this time?!
