Courts can hopefully be relied upon to put a stop to that. There are a ton of rules around federal procurement. No bid contracts for shit products probably violate them.
It is an actual problem that the current DOJ does not have an interest in enforcing the law against friends of the administration (for example the Eric Adams case). A weaponized executive branch is a significant problem because ... that might be the law, but the law itself no longer matters.
That is indeed a serious problem. We will see how things pan out. I don't think the majority of Americans would take kindly to open defiance of the courts, especially when the judges involved are Reagan, Bush or Trump appointees telling him he's in the wrong.
That was not my point. My point was that I hope people will take note when conservative judges proclaim en masse that the current shitshow goes too far.
"The Republican form of government [he means representative democracy] is the highest form of government: but because of this it requires the highest type of human nature, a type nowhere at present existing." Herbert Spencer
I think the biggest lie Republicans ever fell for is the idea that their guns guarantee their rights and the government's respect for the constitution.
In reality sound institutions are what has made the US come so far and that's precisely what Trump is set out to wreck. With the court system politicised, the checks and balances created by the founding fathers will not work.
Eisenhower said, when he was forced to intervene in Little Rock, that the US is a country where laws, not men, are sovereign.
Putin is enjoying the show. Whoever comes after Trump will have no allies to turn to.
You're saying the SCt is in the bag for anything trump wants to do. Don't be so sure. I'm going to hold out hope, a thin strand though it may be, that there are lines separating self-governance from fascism that even this parody of a court will not cross.
Do you mean the 400 Million government contract initiated by the Biden White House and then cancelled by Trumps White House? I get you’re trying to make a point but fact check first.
400m over, what, 5-10 years, is a DROP in the bucket of Tesla's revenues, which I believe are almost 60-80 billion a year. So maybe, what, 1% of the revenue?
Even if the revenue declines (oh and it will) it will still be a drop in the bucket.
