SCOTUS kicks off its new term, and the cases on the docket once again have the potential to gut our constitutional rights and freedoms. At the center is Donald Trump and his depraved policies.
The Supreme Court has been busy giving Trump leeway to pursue his Constitution-smashing campaign by turning every substantive question into a procedural question and by using squishy language and slow-walk techniques in their orders.
Trump responds ever more blatantly to the Courts by defying the emoluments clause; declaring, for example, that he won’t make any efforts to “facilitate” Abrego Garcia’s return; and by continuing his impoundment of funds and destruction of programs created by Congress. Trump uses the military and ICE against civilians in violation of federal law.
Why are there not massive demos at the Supreme Court today? Jamie Raskin told me directly that the main factor that will determine whether the Court upholds the Constitution is public opinion. And yet, no NGO or political party is organizing pressure on the Court?
In situations like this, nonviolent resistance has overwhelmingly proven to be more effective. Look at South Africa, Czechoslovakia, Poland, Romania, Chile, and many more.
