    The mistake your making is looking at the subject. The courts won’t do something unconstitutional. TRUMP will

    So until the courts play the game of “no law” they HAVE to do that.

    WE don’t.

      If they have a choice at all then no they do not have to, they are choosing to, that’s just what the words mean

        No. See the courts don’t make law. They interpret it. But they can’t ignore the constitution or they wouldn’t be courts.

                No, child, you are being petulant and spoiled. You want more treason and chaos because you are upset at the president. And you not only have every right, I am as well

                But the answer isn’t to destroy our government even more

                It’s to remove the administration before they do more damage. A private army run by people who can make any law without answering to civilian?

                You are giving the government what they want. Mire thugs, less accountability, and more cash.

                It’s a foolish, poorly thought out proposal that creates vastly more problems

                Now I am through being reasonable Bout this subject. If you do not know how the government works and why we as citizens need to stand and fight instead of the courts, then you are one of the issues.

                I truly do wish you the best. I will not waste more time on this.

                  Goddamn you’re dumb and long-winded, reality will prove you wrong pretty soon now so just pay attention and you’ll find out

                    To clarify, I don’t think it would be a good thing necessarily if courts had their own security/military, I’m just not stupid enough to believe they’d magically stop being courts if that happened. The law doesn’t matter if there are no consequences for breaking it, and Trump is busy demonstrating exactly that.

          As long as Trump gets to break the rules without consequences the Dems should get to do that as well.

              I don’t care that they “wouldn’t be the courts” - whatever that means. If they wouldn’t be the courts, what would they be?

              I do care that they act before we fucking die.

              Kind of different.

                That’s a different statement. Yes they need to act before it’s too late, no they cannot act alone

                    Courts uphold laws created by Congress. Not the other way around.

                    Without their function of upholding the law, they cease to function as courts and, instead become another dictatorial arm of the government merely giving out edicts with no authority… There’s the whole giving courts private army, problems.

                    The government needs less of this, not more
