Umm, this is concerning. 😳

“Congress’ website for the U.S. Constitution was changed to delete the last two sections of Article I, which include provisions such as habeas corpus, forbidding the naming of titles of nobility, and forbidding foreign emoluments for U.S. officials.”

Constitution Sections on Due Process and Foreign Gifts Just Vanished from Congress' Website

Part of Article I Section 8, and all of Sections 9 and 10, which address things like habeas corpus, nobility, and militias, are gone from Congress's website for the Constitution.

Hilarious yet sad that it’s come to this:

“The president remained steadfast in his novel interpretation of constitutional law.”

“Faced with the choice between clinging to the letter of the law and marching to the beat of his own legal drum, the president chose the latter.”

“Throwing caution to the wind, Jackson wrote, the majority clears the way for ‘the immediate and potentially devastating aggrandizement of one branch (the Executive) at the expense of another (Congress), and once again leaves the People paying the price for its reckless emergency-docket determinations.’”

“As Harvard sociologist Theda Skocpol pointed out in Talking Points Memo, it appears that officials in the Trump administration are using immigration as a way to establish a police state. Indeed, they are using the concept that presidents have control of foreign affairs as a way to work around the laws in place to prevent a dictatorship.”

“The United States is a country founded upon universal ideals. It has never fully lived up to those ideals, but we are now seeing what it looks like when those ideals are not even given lip service. To steal another slogan, it’s either universalism or barbarism. Take your choice.”

What the f*ck?! 🤬

“The unbridled willingness to punish elected officials, through forceful removal & criminal apprehension, marks a key escalation point in the Trump administration’s embrace of blatantly authoritarian tendencies, as they seek to crush dissent, peaceful or not. And it carries the tacit approval of the president.” 🤢

Will Constitutional checks and balances remain intact? I have doubts.

“Challenges to Trump's emergency orders have yet to reach the Supreme Court, but legal experts worry his use of them could lead to an upending of the constitutional balance of power if the Supreme Court sides with the administration, essentially giving the president free rein to do more without congressional approval.”
