The Nazis were smart enough to keep their camps out of public view. These turds are proud of theirs.

The result is an extraordinary threat to fundamental #constitutional rights of #DueProcess & #LegalRepresentation….
#Legal scholars say no previous US admin has taken such concerted action against the legal establishment, with #Trump’s predecessors in both parties typically respecting the constitutionally enshrined tenet that everyone deserves effective representation in court & that #lawyers cannot be targeted simply for the cases & clients they take on.
Unsurprisingly
#LawFirms refuse to represent #Trump opponents in the wake of his attacks
Trump issued yet another #ExecutiveOrder Tuesday sanctioning yet another #law firm, Jenner & Block. The result overall has been called an extraordinary #threat to #constitutional rights of #DueProcess & #legal representation & a far weaker effort to challenge Trump’s actions in court than during his first term.

Fraenkel offered a simple, yet powerful, picture of how the #constitutional & #legal foundations of the Weimar Republic eroded, & were replaced by #strongman-style rule in which the commands of the #Nazi Party & its leader became paramount. His perspective was not grounded in abstract political theory; it grew instead from his experience as a Jewish lawyer in Nazi Berlin representing #dissidents & other disfavored clients.
Impeachment is right there in the Constitution.
We need to start demanding it.
" I understand Roberts as attempting to simultaneously reassure Trump about that while also seeming to stand firm on behalf of federal judges."
I'm seeing it as a pure PR play on #JohnRoberts part to buff the cred of #SCOTUS
Anyone who is paying any attention knows that #LeonardLeo's implementation of the #SupremeCourt is designed for one purpose only:
To enshrine the #UnitaryExecutive as #UnitedStates #Constitutional fact
@alissaazar When defending yourself from kidnapping and assault, you are allowed to use deadly force.
It is her #Constitutional right to redress grievances to the government. No one has the right to zip tie, lift out of her seat or remove her. These men should all go to jail for assault and attempted kidnapping.
Also- #Idaho is crawling w militia male supremacist fucks. It's not safe for girls or women there.
Trump faces growing DOGE revolt from GOP lawmakers

"The #job and #funding cuts are now hitting #GOP lawmakers' districts and states. There's also a larger conflict brewing over whether the administration can simply bypass #Congress on these decisions...
some are quietly fuming that their #Constitutional role in controlling federal funds could be steamrolled"
02-17-2025 - #OlympiaWA #OlyWA - Presidents' Day, 5051 Fifty Protests, Fifty States, One Day - Washington State Capitol
Thousands of #protesters showed at the Capitol on Monday in response to orange man and his crony friends. #Antifascist #protest signs were in abundance with non-stop references to Donald #Trump and Elon Musk. Large crowds gathered at the side of Capitol Blvd, in a circle on the lawn of the Capitol and at the Capitol steps.
An interesting trend seen in the #PNW #Washington #Oregon lately includes "Pro-America, Anti-Trump" protesters with an effort to "take back the flag". Other more classically right-wing representations such as #constitutional t-shirts, constitutional protest signs, references to supporting "law and order" and "rule of law" were seen.
Excerpt from February 13th "Governor Bob Ferguson Press Conference" (seen on TVW.org):
REPORTER: "With regards to your 100 million dollar proposed state grant program for local #police departments, what would you say to bystanders, #journalists and demonstrators who sustained permanent and serious injury during racial #justice #protests in 2020, in which police departments namely the #Seattle police department were found in violation by #federal courts with regards to failing to respect peoples constitutional rights" (CLIPPED)
FERGUSON: "I hear your question but, I'm also aware that we rank last, per capita, the number of law enforcement #officers we have, in the united states, and so I hear your thoughts and what's in your statement, but we need to move forward on making sure that #Washington is a safe place for all Washingtonians" (CLIPPED)

Trump Bans Book ‘Freckleface Strawberry’ From Schools
Trump #banned Julianne Moore‘s 2007 children’s book from schools operated by #DOD
"I can’t help but wonder what is so controversial about this picture book that caused it to be banned by the US Government,” #Moore said. “I am truly saddened & never thought I would see this in a country where freedom of #speech & #expression is a #constitutional right”
Autogolpe:
What’s really happening beneath the Musk/Trump chaos
https://paulkrugman.substack.com/p/autogolpe
"An #autogolpe is literally a “self-coup” — when a legitimately elected leader uses his position to seize total control, eliminating #legal & #constitutional restraints on his power.
Are #Musk & #Trump trying to pull off an autogolpe here? Of course they are.
And they are doing so with, as far as I can tell, the full support of every #Republican in the #House & the #Senate"
Gang, we are in a very serious #constitutional crisis. Those outside the federal government might not understand the gravity of this situation.
#OPM maintains the private information of federal civil servants—bank codes, addresses, insurance information, retirement accounts, employment records. The #Treasury system processes every payment to everyone from grandmothers waiting for their SS check to cancer researchers.
#Elon is rummaging in broad daylight through all of that private information, previously handled with care, and regulated by law.
None of the 20 year olds Elon has tasked with hijacking all this data into his personal AI have security clearance. None of these people have been vetted. Elon decided by fiat to end #USAID, so he can get his hands on that 50 billion. This is a full blown coup!
Wired, on Elon and Peter #Theil minions: archive: https://archive.is/L2C7d
The incoming ofcl did not provide details on how the admin planned to implement a change that #Constitutional scholars say would be #illegal. #Trump’s order would reinterpret the words “and subject to the jurisdiction thereof” in the#14thAmendment of the US #Constitution, which grants citizenship to all people born on US soil, & redefine the phrase to exclude babies born to parents illegally in the country.

In the lower #courts, #judges can serve for life. So the more a president appoints, the more he or she can shape the country. #SCOTUS hears only about 80 cases per year, meaning that lower courts are often the final arbiter on many issues. They set #precedent on #criminal #justice, #bankruptcy proceedings, #corporate disputes & #antitrust enforcement, & on whether federal #laws & rules are #constitutional.

A little #introduction for a new server:
I am an #attorney working in #municipal #law, specifically including #prosecution, #parking, #traffic #tax, #civilrights, #constitutional law, etc. Municipal law is like practicing every legal field, all the time, all at once. Potpourri law.
I’ve studied international relations and national security/foreign policy extensively. I follow #politics and #election #news extremely closely.
Mayhem is my #dog (see below) and you’ll see her a lot here. 
NYC Bar Association released a report on Tuesday asserting that #Congress has #constitutional authority to establish binding ethics rules for #SupremeCourt, urging lawmakers to create new mechanisms for holding Justices accountable. The report recommends the formation of a Judicial Investigation Panel and an Office of the Inspector General for Supreme Court, citing recent revelations of #ethical #noncompliance by #Justices that have eroded public confidence in the Court. https://www.nycbar.org/reports/the-supreme-court-needs-a-mandatory-and-enforceable-code-of-ethics/
