Summary
The American Bar Association (ABA) condemned Trump’s administration for disregarding the rule of law, urging courts and attorneys to push back.
ABA President William R. Bay criticized Trump’s rapid executive orders and restructuring of government agencies, including USAID’s dismantling.
He reminded the administration of the three coequal branches of government and praised a federal judge for blocking Trump’s executive order against birthright citizenship, emphasizing that the 14th Amendment guarantees this right.
Amid multiple lawsuits and government turmoil, Bay called on elected officials to defend legal norms, stating, “These are not partisan or political issues… We must stand up for the values we hold dear.”
A man who’s above the law isn’t following the law??
Daaaaaaaang.

…so, uh… I noticed he’s still not in jail. Did y’all have a backup plan?
checks Dem playbook Nope, seems it’s still rousing speeches to the press, fundraising emails, and fuckall else. Good luck!
Don’t forget clever names for bills that will die in committee.
Time for a new opposition party, ffs.
Ooooo, fundraising, that’ll help
Or, the only thing they can do; which is nothing.
Remember: America didn’t want them. America looked at a choice between “felon” and “prosecutor” and cop voters chose the felon. Military people voted for the person who shirked his responsibility and denigrated them at every turn. Farmers who could read Project 2025 voted for the person who was going to run them bankrupt so his big-farm friends can buy up the land.
… and Shill Stein told the rest to essentially throw their vote.
The democrats can’t do anything but try - TRY - to preserve the records that aren’t yet purged. They’re not going to stop what’s happening, and we’re going to see an exodus of people who can leave the country. Infrastructure, water, power, communications, all these sectors have no oversight, and no guarantee of stability. America will fall apart; eating poisonous food, drinking poisonous water, power plant workers choking to death alone in a hospital basement hallway.
America has no working FEMA, but it has worsening floods, fires, hurricanes and tornadoes. And it chose the guy whose response to a hurricane involved a sharpie, Thiel’s couch-jumping altar boy, a rich man-child and the entire cast of goodfellas to take care of America and all the faith and money and blood and sweat on which its built.
Get to higher ground.
Please fuck off with that weak apologia bullshit.
I know this place is pretty much the Neoliberal Excuses HQ, but there MUST be a limit to the willfully obtuse fawning and victim blaming, even at @politics! 🤦

Hey, just what you see, pal.
The Luigi 9mm.
Man, who gave him permission to do whatever he wanted while in office with legal impunity?
