Can't wait for the Right to recognize that if they normalize nullifying constitutional amendments with executive orders, the next Democrat president can just use that to nullify the 2nd Amendment that they're so terribly fond of.
Of course that assumes there will be another election some day.
lol, cute of you to think there will be a "next election".
Yeah I addressed that.
that assumes that the Dems will actually do literally anything at all.
Can, but won't, because that would be "going low" and "we aren't like them"
You know, like cowardly dipshits
Also, only Republicans get a free pass for this kind of shit.
LOL. Fascism is here. There will never be another Democrat president.
Nothing lasts forever.
Fascism is here in part because Democrat presidents aren't actually on a different team.
Trying to argue "both sides" on an article about a Republican trying to overturn the Constitution with an executive order has got to be embarrassing.
You mean like an article on the Dems in congress overturning the US Constitution via votes?
That's not what this is though.
No, but the PATRIOT Act was...
Passed with more Republican votes than Democrat votes in both houses of Congress and a Republican president.
I'm not sure what point you're trying to make here.
Ah the both parties are the same guy. Always here, never correct, never helpful.
I get the impression is that in your mind there are only two teams: people who agree with you 100% and everyone else.
Yeah, if they let him start dictating constitutional amendments by executive order there definitely won't be a next election.
Expect a state of emergency. Dictators always like that trick.
The next election may come after a civil war,.but there will be a next election.
Assuming the US remains united.
I don't think that's a problem. Even if they didn't plan to begin their dictatorship now, Biden had immunity and didn't do a goddamn thing with it. Democrats don't do anything.
POTUS immunity wasn't a blanket grant of absolute power. It was just the same BS immunity that cops get for what they do as cops.
Dunno if you noticed, but cops pretty much have a blanket grant of absolute power...
Close to it, maybe, but police can't do a whole bunch of things. Like hold you forever without trial, or arbitrarily rape people with no consequences. Or shoot judges whose rulings they don't like
What they get away with is outrageous, but it's not quite "absolute power "
lol, k. If you live within 100 miles of an international port of entry, your rights are suspended as soon as anyone says "National security".
Really?

And how infrequently rape is even charged, yes, they can, and do.
Sure they can.

Cops are the only ones with guns in courthouses!
And if ordered to do so, by the president, nothing to be done.
For practical purposes, it is. Their only constraint is to not attack the ruling class.
Are you really trying to round up from "suck" to "tyranny"?
If you're not white, or cis, it's already been "tyrrany".
Doesn't work because the legal body is republican controlled. Only republican choices are above the law.
