It's about the constitution, stupid

Conspiracy,

I am not sure if it's astroturfing by Russian bots, astroturfing by Chinese bots, a true misunderstanding about the U.S. constitution by MAGA, or a mix, but let's be clear:

The issue with Trump's recent actions, including using the Alien Enemies Act, declaring an end to birthright citizenship under the constitution, and declaring the pardons issued by Joe Biden null and void, is that a president thinks he is entitled to make binding determinations about people's rights, make determinations about people's guilt, make determinations about the lawfulness of actions outside of the judicial process.

I repeat: The issue is that the president thinks he is unilaterally entitled to make binding and unappealable legal determinations without reliance on a court of competent jurisdictions being involved.

This is the issue. This is the red flag. This is the constitutional crisis.

Love Trump, love Biden, love Obama, love Lincoln, love JFK.... this is not about anyone supporting anyone. This is about a subversion of checks and balances and what is increasingly becoming apparent as a coup against American democracy.
