Supreme Court Made A Ruling That Is Dangerous To Our Democracy.
Trump v. United States
“The Supreme Court’s opinion in Trump v. United States is a dangerous attack on the rule of law.”
- ordering the military to invade a foreign country and commit genocide against a minority religious group;
- ordering the military to commit major war crimes and torture against a civilian population in an enemy nation during an armed conflict;
- instructing federal officials to falsify documents required for the sale of U.S. weapons and munitions to a foreign purchaser under the Arms Export Control Act;
- sharing highly classified national security information (and making no attempt to declassify it) with a foreign leader; and
- ordering the U.S. Border Patrol to massacre hundreds of sleeping migrants camped on the U.S.-Mexico border.
It is the opinion of this blog that this rule of law could easily be used by a dictator to ruin the United States form of government, a democracy, and turn it into a dictatorship, even fascist state. No one should be immune from prosecution for any reason! This ruling appears to possibly be a future Republican Party tool.
