These scholars pointed to other Trump actions they say blatantly broke the law, such as freezing trillions of dollar in federal spending and dismissing members of the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) and Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), even though they were confirmed by the Senate and had several years left in their terms.
“Without any doubt Donald Trump is the most lawless and scofflaw president we have ever seen in the history of the United States,” said Laurence Tribe, one of the nation’s leading constitutional scholars and a professor emeritus at Harvard Law School.
Tribe said Trump has carried out “a blitzkrieg on the law and the constitution. The very fact that the illegal actions have come out with the speed of a rapidly firing Gatling gun makes it very hard for people to focus on any one of them. That’s obviously part of the strategy.”
If only there were a way to stop something like this from happening before it happened. Like, oh, I don’t know….
Something like rationally informed voters? Wait! stay with me here. I know that “rationally” part hangs in the air like a lead balloon, but bear with me on this….
So, these rationally informed voters would do stuff like- pay close attention and keep track of the key differences between the candidates, while at the same time, using the aforementioned rationality to better understand that confusing and bothersome concept that unfortunately, there will never be a perfect candidate, or a perfect campaign- for that matter- but that there will be a clear and easy choice between the two once everything is considered.
If only we had some more of these, we could have avoided this and elected the better candidate. And once the better candidate was elected, we then could have worked as a nation towards having them reduce the number of things we were not in support of, or at the very worst- we would have just lived in status quo from the last four years- which, as the rationally informed voters could tell you, was without a doubt, a paradise in comparison to what’s about to happen……
If only….
