What constitution?
Not to be a bummer, but we talked about this topic a month ago. Then again, I’m just some rando blogger. Let Ronan Farrow lay it out with more gravitas. This from last night.
“Working from a fever dream of conspiracies, President Trump has launched yet another effort to investigate and intimidate his critics,” is how the ACLU responded:
“After one of the most harrowing weeks for our First Amendment rights, the President is invoking political violence, which we all condemn, as an excuse to target non-profits and activists with the false and stigmatizing label of ‘domestic terrorism.’ This is a shameful and dangerous move. But the President cannot rewrite the Constitution by memo.”
Here’s the problem with that sincere ACLU statement. Donald Trump doesn’t care who he targets. He doesn’t care about what’s false. Or stigmatizing. He’s not shy about throwing around labels like “domestic terrorism.” Or about what’s shameful or dangerous.
He cannot rewrite the Constitution with a memo? Trump’s actions clearly demonstrate that his sense since being reelected is “Constitution? What constitution?”
