1. What a petty little two-bit dictator.

[Cha]

2. Oh BOOHOO, blotus..

[neeksgeek]

3. Expect them to go after judges they don't like...

Trump and Erdogan have a lot in common.

4. Petty little puppet. nt

5. THEY CONTROL EVERYTHING and if they can make the Courts go away .....

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

7. Whoah, keep your hat on, pardner. Take a deep breath. Our system is stronger than that.

Checks and balances were written into the constitution for a reason.

9. Who's going to enforce the Constitution

if the Courts are stripped of their power by being ignored or staffed with corporate moles?

You?

10. Who is going to "strip the courts of their power?" Trump? He does not have that power.

Don't confuse a little sleight of hand on the WH web site with actual power. Neither the courts nor Congress would allow that to happen. If they did, they'd be ceding their power to the president. Can you spell "I-M-P-E-A-C-H-M-E-N-T?

11. The Court orders from this weekend are being ignored

Will the Courts step forward with contempt of court citations?

They haven't thus far. Authorities continue to detain arrivals at the airports.

And some GOP appointed judges will side with the Trump administration.

The GOP Congress is not going to do anythint to impede Trump except
mumble disapproval once on awhile. They are getting all they want ideologically,
and Trump is their man. This is why it is SO important for the public to continue
to RESIST!

So I would say don't confuse the legal structure in the US as it has operated and
evolved over the last 200 years with what is actually happening in regards the current
immigration enforcement issue in the struggle between the Executive and the Courts.
Constitutional lawyers will have to pull every precendent they can muster to attempt
to stop this power grab. It's Nixonian.

12. There is total confusion right now because Trump issued an order without...

...letting anybody know in advance. The courts are slow-moving, but when Congress acts, they can stop Trump in his tracks and the courts will move against him with inexorable force. We are just beginning the fight.

14. The court order stopped deportation, not detention n/t

[treestar]

6. That's the only one he has no control of

well he may not have cooperation from Congress soon, either.

8. searched the website....not a single reference

13. That is so stupid and childish.
