Who needs courts when you have churches? Just toss the accused in water and see if they float. Don't need a legislature, either, so long as he can wrap his little vienna sausages around a pen to sign Executive Orders. L'etat c'est trump.

I wonder how long before schoolchildren will be pledging allegiance to donald trump...

Nothing Twitler does from here on out will surprise me. It will horrify me, but not surprise me.

they can seize anything, everything and there is nothing anyone can do about it

THIS is where they're headed, and we're headed

Somebody in Washington, in Congress, better wake up

Also time for the Courts to step up, hold these people in contempt

This is a BLITZKRIEG strategy that is being taken before our eyes

So it makes sense for them to toss the courts. Since, to his thinking, they have no power over him.


Cheney thought the same thing - the unitary executive also says the courts, as well as Congress, should not interfere with a president.

Look up plebiscitary presidency (the imperial presidency).

I just checked the site and it still omits the Judiciary Branch.

Anyone who took US History knows there are three branches of goverment.
