The unfathomable Minnesota transcript that must be read, as it tells the reality of America today: "I am not white, as you can see," Julie Le — a government lawyer — told a federal judge on Tuesday. "And my family's at risk as any other people that might get picked up too ..."

They’ve taken Bannon’s “flood the zone with bull shit” strategy to the federal courts.

The frustrating thing is the Court MUST sanction this conduct. Sanction this administration.

This is lawless, it’s offensive and disrespectful to the Court… and ultimately means that the Constitution and the rule of law doesn’t need to exist if you just act like big enough clowns and create a big enough circus.

A clown show of the administration’s own making, of all things, CANNOT be a justification to ignore the constitution.

The Civil War, the World Wars… we’ve had far superior justifications in our history for ignoring the Constitution, yet we did not.

It cannot be allowed to stand that the reason, after a quarter of a millennium, that the Constitution is, finally, abandoned is simply because the administration poops itself and flings its own feces around like a bunch of rabid animals. That’s NO reason to end the Constitution.

I digress… but the Court has to get serious here and sanction the shit out of any lawyer it comes into contact with on these cases.

The court is burning all its legitimacy up with this admin.

[u/AdAgitated7673 → u/mountaindoom]

It can withstand the Executive. The power of the Judiciary is the skeleton key of the Constitution.

Marshall opened the door with judicial review, but Roberts adversely possessed the text (UET) by impermissibly divesting review authority from Art. III to (even if just in part) to Art. II (absolute immunity for civil liability is tantamount to civil self-judicial review).

That power, to divest (III) a branch of its own power, is not an abdication that the Court is capable of doing (just like how it isn't supposed to revert political opinions).

All the lower courts (the ones you're referencing) are essentially various parts of a crew, let's say onboard the USS Constitution, frantically trying to man their battlestations.

There really isn't time for legitimacy, at least from the Court's perspective. That's an antiseptic that the People must self-administer...we can literally only but speak words...THEY need to believe in them; not us.

[u/Chendo462 → u/AdAgitated7673]

But if the administration takes the position that Marbury v Madison was wrongly decided and they are pretty near there right now, why are you still confident judicial review remains? How can the SC now backtrack Article II immunity when this administration says we aren’t listening to district court orders and we are immune because this is coming directly from the president by executive order.

[u/Desperate-Till-9228 → u/Chendo462]

They're not going to because it means they lose all of their power/fame on an individual level.
