Whether it's those rulings or not deporting immigrats as ordered by judges, this administration does what the hell it wants.
And the cynicism is even in our face. During the citizenship case at scotus, the government's attorney was asked something to the effect of what happens if the executive branch disagrees with the ruling. The response? The executive branch retains it's right to interpret the law as it sees right.
In other works the trump administration follows judge's orders it likes --- claiming it's honorably following the law --- or blows it off as rulings by wacko judge's when it doesnt. Whence the question: why not be a man and just do what you want without the pretense of caring about the law. Answer: assholes always try to hide behind paperwork when they can.
It's like the stormy Daniel's case. Instead of coming home and saying I wanna bed porn stars but I still want to be married and be called husband, father --- take it or leave it -- he delegated the problem to a moron lawyer who took about a 2nd mortgage on his house who then did the paperwork for him. He hid behind an nda, and paperwork pushers. That's a man? No, he's a coward.
When you have no accountability whatsoever delegating your work and blaming foot soldier's is never done! You gotta feel sorry (sarcasm) for someone that stuck on stupid and the idiots who run to it.
Good god! I am sick of this fool, and the do nothing congress.
Strategy. The GOP isn't even trying to hold him back any more because they know they're probably going to lose control of Congress at the mid-terms, at which point they know the Democrats will be licking their chops to impeach him. Then they can feign indignation, and possibly a few GOP votes if necessary, for a successful impeachment. After that, they'll have the President they want, JD Vance, with a potential 10 year term.
It's not a problem of backbone. Republicans (the majority group) in Congress clearly want the fraud to continue if you match their behavior and their words.
Speaking of democrats: how out of touch and how operationally ineffective do you have to be to lose to trump twice? A lot. Like systemic institutional failure bad. Dems are not so corrupt relative to trump, but their level of ineffective clulessness is cosmically big. So let's not get too righteous about the other side.
Washington dc is rotten. Rotten to core. Rotten by us to us. Immigrants, Russia, Iran, China didn't do it. We did it to ourselves. Moreover I have no sympathy for belt way insiders. You poisoned your own institution.
Two more bad consequences are increasing polarization --- swing hard right then left then right --- while deficit, security, interest payments, debt, fairness under the law go worse. Far left has its own set of problems potentially with similar greed in extended power centers
In the near term it puts the wind at the back of populism for the little guy because as of now re: trump draining the swamp? Maga voters sing it with me:
I heard it in a love song. Heard it in a love song. I heard it in a loooovvve song. Can't be wrong (Marshall Tucker band)
Meaning? Of course it's wrong. Wrong by intention and wrong by construction. You were told what you wanted to hear, and you ate it hook line and sinker. How can anybody believe trump could handle and serious responsibility?
Trump is getting his and there's nothing you can do about it for the next two years baring religious level miracles.
I wouldn't breathe easy about birthright citizenship yet. Trump v. Barbara was a relatively narrow 6-3 ruling, with Kavanaugh's concurrence hinging on a separate federal law rather than the 14th amendment itself.
How such a very plan and clear amendment is only barely upheld by the Supreme Court is a travesty, and there's every reason to believe it could go the other way with the right combination of case specifics and arguments.
That's precisely why Trump created another executive order -- his administration agrees with my take that the Roberts court may uphold the order when they bring it before the court again.
Did you read the article? That order prohibits the automatic citizenship of babies born in the United States to two non-citizen parents where one of the parents is: a member of a foreign terrorist group, a foreign government employee, has attempted to gain citizenship through fraudulent means, or is living in US territories where citizenship is not conferred by federal statute.
This isn't even about birthright citizenship. The title of the article is intentionally misleading.
"It's like the stormy Daniel's case.

Stop pearl clutching. If we are going to start judging morality, we can start looking at the Clintons (good friends with Epstein), the Bidens (His daughter has some really interesting things about what happened when she was little and his son Hunter? I think we can safely say that there are no morals here and the media ran cover for him). Even Bill Gates was on the island, best friends with Epstein, and there was almost no mention of it in the tech community.
We need to hold everyone accountable, not just when it's politically convenient.

Really weird to be this sloppy.
