So... I guess it's not your grandad's #Republican party anymore. As anyone with a rudimentary knowledge of history knows, there will come a time when everyone associated with this party will have to deny association. People who voted for it will claim they never did. We have seen how this plays out.

Trump post: My Poll Numbers within the Republican Party, and MAGA, have gone up, significantly, since the Jeffrey Epstein Hoax was exposed by the Radical Left Democrats and, just plain "troublemakers." They have hit 90%, 92%, 93%, and 95%, in various polls, and are all Republican Party records. The General Election numbers are my highest, EVER! People like Strong Borders, and all of the many other things I have done. GOD BLESS AMERICA. MAGA!

Brazil's President says Taco would be under arrest and prosecuted in his country for attempting a coup, and that it's outrageous for him to tariff Brazil for holding Bolsonaro accountable.

So outrageous he thought the news was initially fake.

Russian propagandist Solovyov is now threatening even Trump, claiming “We’ll wipe the US off the map and drown it in a radioactive tsunami.” Another absurd outburst from a Kremlin mouthpiece, detached from reality but not without consequences.

How a recent US Supreme Court judgment is an immense blow to the Rule of Law - even more than the presidential immunity decision.

Longer piece than usual.

On the universal injunctions case, by me at @prospectmagazine.co.uk

www.prospectmagazine.co.uk/ideas/law/th...
There is a gap in the constitution of the United States where the rule of law used to be. That there is a gap has been set out by the majority of the US Supreme Court in the recent judgment of Trump v Casa, where it was held that US federal district courts are not able to issue universal injunctions that apply more widely than to just the parties to the case before the court. In the majority opinion, Justice Amy Coney Barrett stated that the judiciary does not have “unbridled authority” to ensure that the executive follows the law. Her view is that the executive can do unlawful things that the courts cannot then do anything to prevent. This is because, she says, there is no universal jurisdiction where the courts can issue orders to ensure that the federal government complies with the constitution or federal law generally. The reason for this gap, Justice Barrett and the majority insist, is that the federal courts themselves only have powers allocated to them by the constitution and federal law. A court cannot thereby act outside of the powers provided by the empowering law. If a federal court purports to do so even when faced by government illegality, then the court is acting unlawfully. As Justice Barrett puts it, “When a court concludes that the Executive Branch has acted unlawfully, the answer is not for the court to exceed its power, too.” This means that even where the federal government has acted unlawfully, there are now situations where a court can do nothing about it. This statement is not some liberal or progressive take or caricature. This is the considered, open position of the US Supreme Court. Just as last year the same court decided to widen presidential immunity from prosecution, it has now held that there are other ways in which the law cannot bind the federal government. This is a subtle, almost artful move by the Supreme Court justices. While many onlookers were worried about the federal government ignoring court orders, the highest court has arranged it so that many of the most irksome court orders for the government cannot be made in the first place.

We are being destroyed from within. When Trump embraced the slogan about making America great we should have understood his goal would be to systematically destroy every source of our greatness. As he is now doing.
