Senate Republicans just confirmed an IRS Commissioner who:
1) Supported legislation that would abolish the IRS
2) Doesn’t know the law
3) Has a track record of doing whatever Donald Trump tells him to do
It’s dangerous and absurd.

If the Supreme Court ultimately agrees with what the gov't is arguing today, that the President has broad Article II powers that would permit it to deport people & there can be no judicial review, then literally no one is safe.

The Alien Registration Act of 1940 was used for the inhumane imprisonment of more than 120,000 people of Japanese descent in concentration camps across the U.S. during WWII.
Trump is following in those footsteps.

Trump: “There is absolutely nothing I can say to make them happy or to make them stand or smile or applaud.”
Yes, there’s no standing ovation for cutting funding for cancer research, stripping Medicaid, and raising costs for working people.

Thanks to the United States Supreme Court for convincing Donald Trump that he could pursue every dangerous, terrible idea and never face consequences.
