  • OK, so Harvard has 30 days to comply with the previous illegal order? If they don't, Trump will still go ahead with the new illegal order, on top of the previous illegal order!

    Part of Harvard's complaint is that the government isn't following proper procedures that require things like "reasonable notice". I suspect this may be an attempt to remove that argument.

  • You don’t get any more bribes if you hold no power worth getting bribes for.

    You ever wonder why dictatorships across the world have courts? Because they give the dictator legitimacy. That is why you bribe judges. You can be absolutely servile to the dictator but still have worth.

  • The also have an incentive to preserve their own power

    That's a misunderstand of human nature imho. I don't think they do - at least not as a legal body. It turns out personal comfort and wealth is just fine for several of them. Who cares if you can rule over cases when you have a shiny new motor home and are spending the weekend at a wealthy friend's island?

    It's how corruption works.

  • French President Emmanuel Macron believes US President Donald Trump has finally realised that Russian leader Vladimir Putin has been deceiving him.

    Oh my no... The cognitive dissonance will take over. Trump will be back to blaming Ukraine and talking about how wonderful Putin is again in short order

  • If this dopey motherfucker actually did this, I'd support it. Harvard can survive on less, and trade schools should be cheaper to encourage people learning trades.

    You think we should take money for cancer research and spend it making trade school cheaper?

  • Generally speaking if the Constitution doesn't say you have a power and explicitly does say somebody else does it means that you don't.

    Though there are centuries of interpretations, laws, and norms that fill in the gaps that can make it more nuanced. It's difficult to take a straight reading of the text and apply it to an event.

  • it didn’t surrender anything

    It absolutely has. The he executive has literally no authority to impose tariffs - that's Congress' job. The executive has no authority to not spend money that Congress has appropriated - yet he is

    These are easily blockable by Congress and should be in articles of impeachment.

    Additionally Congress gave the president the ability to gain "temporary powers" during an "emergency" - and guess who gets to declare what constitutes an emergency? The president. And SCOTUS has blocked Congress from even being able to take it away without the president having a veto.
