Schumer Sees Americans Rising Up If Trump Defies Court Orders

[DFW]

53. I wish I had his glasses.

A retired German journalist spent the weekend with us, and he see the USA sliding into a "creeping dictatorship" which keeps biting one piece of the pie off at a time until we realize there is none left. That last real rising up I remember was the half million people at the Pentagon in 1967, and even that did no good.

If the administration ignoring court orders won't make the Senate and the House cry out in one voice for removal, then there will be no rising up, either. Maybe a Bernie Sanders rally for 16500 people in Sioux City, Iowa, for all the good that'll do. Every adminsitration has respected court orders they didn't like, especially from the Supreme Court. That's why we had the Iraq invasion of 2003 and Citizens United, courtesy of Roberts and Alito. When an administration scoffs at a court ruling, and says, "so sue me," meaning they don't intend to pay any attention to it, there is no more rule of law, just autocratic rule and mob rule, neither of which end well.

Chuckles doesn't trust Trump's pledges to abide by juidical rulings? Wow, what a concidence. Neither do I. I trust Bondi to tell him he doesn't have to, and I trust Trump to believe her. Schumer doesn't need to show anyone how bad Trump's policies are. Everyone who cares to see has already seen, and those who think that if Trump calls the sidewalk water, tnat he then walks on water, will see them as wonderful.

Incredulous as it seems, our supposedly educated nation has elected alomst 50 Senatore and 200 House Representatives who believe that removing food, educastion and health care from their constituents helps the budget and is a good idea. Even more difficult to believe, the people who elected them and will lose out think it's a good idea, too. Only when starvation or deportation comes knocking at their doors will they think to say, "wait, I didn't vote for this,," and then not believe it even after being shown that they did.
