These judges are working too slow, but that's the point of these processes.
But it's not like it's going to stop these right wing maniacs in USA to do anything different

So far, the legal system is the only part of government doing any substantial pushback at all.
There is still hope
Nah, don't count on that alone. At best, it's insufficient, and that would be without a Supreme Court run by batshit morons.
Yeah it's only a matter of time before judges start falling out of windows. That's the next step.
“Presidential act” “not illegal”
Not quite... Remember when the legal system found Trump guilty of 34 felonies?
Yeah, he was not punished.
Yeah they’ve sent a few strongly worded letters.
Government is a lumbering giant.
Every president has failed to implement their vision. That's the point.
What's going on right now is unprecedented, but Im still of the belief that our safety nets are gonna catch this one.
It's just going to fuck up our standing in the world of geopolitics, which will have long lasting consequences.
I hope I'm right, because I sincerely doubt it goes any better than that.

It already has.
Im still of the belief that our safety nets are gonna catch this one.
I hope you're correct, but we can't rely on that.
Individuals have to also take action, and keep pressure on the people who are supposed to be preventing these abuses.

The Republicans will look at what they have done and institute broad limitations on executive power on their way out the door (assuming we don't just end up with martial law). This will prevent Democrats from ever attempting anything even remotely similar. But there is always the ever-so-slight chance that it nerfs Republicans down the road too.
Maybe.
That assumes they still have the house and senate in 2028. If they're going to do that they'll do it before the midterms. Their majorities in both houses are razer thin, and the incumbent party almost always loses ground in the midterms. Trump wont allow them to hamstring them for his final two years in office
There are no safety nets and guard rails anymore. It will be raining judges out the windows soon and that's your sign that it's totally over.

The legal system never gets you your remedy when you need it. It's slow.

Trump is such a moron, and this is what the American people voted for. It's also going to affect the rest of the world.
Absolute insanity.
I don't think the American people voted for this. I think Elon paid to have the election hacked.
Unless the judge is literally beating him with a book titled "Legal Setback" in a fatal manner, her efforts aren't going to do shit. Legal action against a man who's above the law is like spitting on a fish.
the constitution? republicans just threw that out the moment they had control
Why cling to the 2nd amendmend of the constitution and not make use of the means?
A well regulated Militia being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.
Highlights by me.
Instructions unclear?
Doing that means throwing everything away. Even if someone survives after starting a firefight, chances are they'll get caught and imprisoned for life. It takes a lot of courage and commitment to do something on that degree, I find it understandable why people are a little hesitant.
That said, Luigi did it. So can we.
Sadly it's a prime example for the paradox of tolerance and sooner or later people will act accordingly.
I think that has crossed the minds of a lot of people in the last several months, mine included
I'm a very peace loving person, but I understand that having peace is only possible if all involved parties keep peace; only one party or some parties keeping peace while others wage war is in the end no peace at all.
i never trusted the legal system anyway the only difference between a corrupt judge and a good one is how they rule on your case anyway
preliminary
I knew this word would appear. Either that or “temporary”.
Why does this matter? The entire executive branch has said they will ignore the courts and that the courts have no power over them, cause 😝. Unless someone IN the executive branch enforces anything, it’s all just hot air blowing in the wind.
Mais le roi, c'est moi!
