    If Trump is not behaving as an authoritarian

    Give us real examples of how temporarily delaying the actions the actions of Trump's EO's has been harmful. Then we can measure anything you can come up with against harm prevented by recent injunctions. The general principles of judicial precedent and the "patchwork" effect are accurately...

    If Trump is not behaving as an authoritarian

    Just a thought on this note. So many I meet who share a fondness for Trump, if our conversations center on Trump for any length of time, almost to a person ask me why I only focus on the bad things he does. Most people don't realize that when we we decide for ourselves what we think of a...

    If Trump is not behaving as an authoritarian

    My point isn't that nationwide injunctions were perfect or without their own issues. Rather, it's about the consequences of their elimination, particularly for individuals challenging potentially unlawful executive actions. While the Court's decision addresses concerns about judicial overreach...

    If Trump is not behaving as an authoritarian

    How is that any different than what I said? Prior to this ruling, if a federal court found an executive order unconstitutional or unlawful, it often issued a "universal" or "nationwide" injunction, preventing the government from enforcing that order against anyone in the country. The CASA...

    If Trump is not behaving as an authoritarian

    Seriously? The President has already flaunted orders of the court. But what is it that you think the courts can do if the President decides to ignore the courts? Really depends on all the other people around him react. It's a good thing the President didn't choose people based almost...

    If Trump is not behaving as an authoritarian

    And tell us, what exactly do you think could be done if the President did exactly as I said? Annnd you haven't been paying attention, because SCOTUS, just ensured, that won't happen again. For what it's worth, I know it's hard to keep up with this administration. We don't have to imagine...

    If Trump is not behaving as an authoritarian

    Agreed, and thank you for pointing that out. I didn't mean to insinuate that EO's were laws. That said, how is my hypothetical not in keeping with your standard? I mean, birthright citizenship is clearly defined in the Constitution. There's no wiggle room, there is no room for...

    If Trump is not behaving as an authoritarian

    Perhaps you haven't been following along the last year or so, but SCOTUS has ensured that the President cannot be held accountable for his actions if they are determined to be in the scope of his duty as President. However, it's almost impossible to even investigate actions that might fall...

    If Trump is not behaving as an authoritarian

    In Trump v. Anderson, in essence, the liberal justices agreed with the outcome (Trump stays on the ballot) but expressed concern that the majority's reasoning went too far and potentially weakened a vital constitutional safeguard of liberal democracy by limiting how Section 3 could be enforced...

    If Trump is not behaving as an authoritarian

    No the opposite of command economy is a Market economy. Laissez-faire is an economy controlled by the wealthy though economic coercion therefore people are less free and under more influence, despite your claims to the contrary and therefore, simply fills the power vacuum the government abandon.

    If Trump is not behaving as an authoritarian

    I modified slightly..... What I like about the circle is that it better shows the relationship, especially between the extreme left and extreme right, who tend to think of themselves as opposites, when in fact they are much closer than either would want to admit. That said, it's important...

    If Trump is not behaving as an authoritarian

    Me thinks someone is confusing the term dictator with authoritarian. You don't have to have total control of the government, and more specifically voting, to be authoritarian.

    If Trump is not behaving as an authoritarian

    Correct, but you understand that seditious conspiracy is, for all intents and purposes an attempt at insurrection. I think the only reason we didn't get there was all of the obstruction by key members. Setting that aside, are you really arguing that any claim that a politician isn't convicted...

    If Trump is not behaving as an authoritarian

    No, just 14 people charged with seditious conspiracy... Seditious Conspiracy (18 U.S. Code § 2384) Focus: This charge is about the agreement or plan to overthrow the government or oppose its authority by force. It's a conspiracy charge, meaning it targets the plotting and agreement among two...

    If Trump is not behaving as an authoritarian

    This tired complaint keeps making the rounds, but it's rich coming from anyone on the right who when put in a corner immediately pivoted to "But, But, Hillary's emails!!!! Won't anyone listen!!!, EMAILS!!!!"
