From DSC:<\/span><\/em> At minimum, the USA has lost the respect and goodwill of many nations. And I understand why<\/strong><\/span>.\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n From Bloomberg on 4\/11\/25:<\/em><\/p>\n The Trump administration<\/strong>, which admitted to wrongly\u00a0sending a man to a notorious prison in El Salvador (violating a court order in the process) and\u00a0declined to try and get him back<\/a>, on Friday went a step further.\u00a0Lawyers for Trump, despite an order by the US Supreme Court,\u00a0refused to tell a federal judge where the man was or what it\u2019s doing to get him back<\/a>. A federal judge, following the Supreme Court\u2019s direction, set a deadline today for Trump\u2019s lawyers to explain how the government planned to follow the high court\u2019s ruling. Trump\u2019s lawyers rejected the court\u2019s order, saying it didn\u2019t have enough time, and questioned her authority.<\/p>\n The Supreme Court ruling against Trump was one of his\u00a0first defeats tied to the administration\u2019s attempt to broadly expand executive powers. It followed\u00a0a series of recent procedural rulings that saw the Republican-appointee controlled court rule in his favor. But this latest\u00a0refusal by Justice Department lawyers to fully comply with court\u00a0orders, unlike previous cases tied to Trump policies,\u00a0directly implicates a\u00a0ruling from the highest court in the land<\/a>, intensifying an ongoing and unprecedented constitutional crisis between the two branches of government.<\/p>\n
\nWe had better not lose the rule of law in the United States! Donald Trump is an enormous threat to our constitutional democracy! He has NO respect for the rule of law, the judicial branch of our government, our constitution, telling the truth, or having virtues and strong character. He is a threat to the entire world. People are already feeling that in their wallets, purses, and 401(k)s. Supply chains throughout the globe have been negatively impacted. Many have lost their jobs, and more people will likely lose their jobs as a recession is becoming increasingly likely as each day passes. <\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n
