Trump, Dictating

IT CAME TO ME in a "Eureka" moment, a nightmarish jolt of awareness and panic. A truth I didn't and still don't want to accept. If (when) this beautfully big bad bogus bill passes the Senate and is signed into law by his majestic mental illness highness, which it most certainly will be, Herr Trump will have effectively if not formally become the first American dictator, or Imperitor" if you prefer ancient Roman tyranny. This, preciesly as MAGA nation desires. I took the time to become at least marginally knowledgeable about the infamous things contents, and was, and still am, horrified. Not just by the massive cuts to Medicare, Medicaid, and to taxes of the inordinately wealthy. Nor to the boondoggle budget busting military budget. There is, among all the inummerable harmful provisions insmallprint,anespiecally nasty , nefarious one which effectively makes the American president avirtual dictator. Trump, and all future presidents, social democrats included. In a nutshell, the provision eliminates the power of the courts to enforce contempt of court citations. By so doing it essentially makes decisions rendered by the courts mere suggestions. Normally, any disobedience of a federal judge's instructions is addressed by a contempt of court citation, followed by, if not renewed compliance, then arrest warrents. The SupremeCourt ordered Trump to bring the illegally deported gentleman back to the U.S. from El Salvador, and Trump is, at least for the time being, refusing to do so. It begins to look increasingly as if Trump will soon have established a new precedent; the president of the U.S. is immune from all court verdicts and decisions. I am absoluely convinced that I am far from being teh first person to have figured this out. Soo, I assume, especially after the bill passes and becomes law, the media will be full of discussions and analysis of this brand new legal situation in the formerly land of liberty.When Bernie Sanders or AOC become president, the Republicans will doubtless hasten to the Hill to repeal the law, but will it be too late? So far, hundreds of lawsuits have been filed against Trump contesting the constitutionality of his endless executive orders, nearly all of which are indeed obviously unconstitutional, and overwhelinglly the lower courts are agreeing, and squashing or staying Trump's criminality. There is no sign that Trup and his rogue administration of criminals and gangsters will obey or respect anything any court says. By the time the final disastrous Republican bill becomes law, they may not have to, safely, according to the new law. Youmight havethought that MAGA America would advocate for a law explicity conferring on Trump the title of "Dictator for life". And, indeed, they may well exactly that. Stay tuned. But this contempt of court trick is, by comparison, subtle and clever, for a bunch of right wing rednecks. You might have wondered whether the extremist right wing mind would even possess the intellectual aptitude for such legalistic shenanigans. Never underestimate your opponent.
