“President Trump is asserting the right to unilaterally use the military wherever, whenever and be the sole judge and jury of his own actions.“
“The new precedent is being set in real time: The only real limit on Trump appears to be Trump himself. Neither the conservative Supreme Court nor the GOP-led Congress has shown much interest in limiting this executive.”
“This dynamic frees Trump to use federal troops in U.S. cities over the objection of a state's governor, or kill people overseas without war authorization or scrutiny, or prosecute his critics in U.S. courts, or seize congressional powers over tariffs and spending. Future presidents will be able to claim the same power Trump does.”
“Under this theory, there's little to stop or slow ever-expanding presidential power. This pushes power away from ordinary voters, through their congressional representatives, and into the hands of one person.”
“Trump is pushing this piece by piece at home, in cities he deems overrun by crime, and abroad in the Caribbean. Domestically, Trump hasn't taken the step of using troops for law enforcement or direct crowd control. But taken in total, the precedent is clear: The commander-in-chief has sole discretion on what constitutes threats and appropriate military responses, at home and abroad.”
“This applies not just to him but to all presidents going forward. That's why precedents matter.”
Who actually thinks, if he deems necessary, that Trump won’t directly interfere in elections going forward? Ice squads looking more like storm troopers and positioning troops in American cities hasn’t been done just to catch Jesus nor prevent another Big Balls from getting mugged by teenage girls
And what MAGA forgets or refuses to recognize is that these precedents apply to ever President going forward
Guess the Founders were wasting their time incorporating Seperation of Powers plus Checks and Balances
