toESS more than seven weeks in Donald Trump's second state as president, his administration began a new wave of handwriting about what has now become a familiar question: Have the United States entered into a constitutional crisis?
Which leads to the latest repetition of this concern, the government deported more than 200 Venezuelan immigrants to a notorious prison in El Salvador, without listening sessions or evidence, and therefore without anything similar to due legal procedures, according to the announcement of the US President, “signed in the dark on Friday evening” that it was formed an invasion by a foreign case.
Trump summoned a law in 1798, which the last time used to Japanese Americans during World War II, supported by the forces claiming to be inherent in the presidency. Judges James E Bouasburg of the US Provincial Court of Colombia rushed to hold a hearing on the legality of work that faces a challenge as she left two trips to leave from Texas, followed by a third. Moments after the judge ordered them to return so that he could judge a proposal that prevents deportation, the President of El Salvador, Nayeb Bokil, tweeted: “ooopsie … after it is too late”, with the expression of laughing expressive symbols, even when the court looked at whether it was challenged.
The best government branch is able to reveal and protect all of our noble traditions and the simple truth in moments such as these – judicial – was distorted by Trump and its allies, which makes invitations that are not responsible for the unpopular and that put dangerous goals on the appearance of judges who rule in the ways they hate. Even moderate judges head John Roberts had to cry “wrong”. It appears that the administration's position on the administration towards the courts that fail to submit its bids, which are represented by calls to remove boasberg, confirm concerns about the crisis looming on the horizon.
But the search for evidence of a “constitutional crisis” in the rapidly escalating clashes of the executive authority with the judicial branch lacks the major disaster that occurs throughout the United States. This president, who is incited by reporting the Republican Congress, licensed by a US Supreme Court of his creation, is not only the dismantling of institutions that include our democracy. He and his circle offer an offer to completely reshape the United States by erasing and distorting the historical foundations of our 235 -year -old experience in autonomy under the law.
What we currently live in is not less than the reorganization of building blocks in our republic and the history of our struggles, which means what it means to be American. The political body is cavity through a quick metric virus that attacks the foundations of our entire constitutional system. Do not make mistakes. This is the way the dictatorship grows.
Among the symptoms of reinstating is the strange appearance, in a duet that the president organized with the richest man in the world and the main beneficial to Trump, from the joint presidency without a precedent in our republic and without even a hint of paradox in this joint force that is published by ideologies that have long been talisman is the need for “unified brochures”.
Since the employees of the so -called “DOGE” newlyweds (DOGE) have collected independent federal agencies and institutions from Congress without warning and lowering entire programs without thinking, the Trump administration has fallen when I asked the courts to explain who is responsible for the “administration” that he did not create.
More than just loud courts and refused to provide basic information about government activities, the Trump administration launched the war on the same history. After we first comply with our ability to act, it now comes after our ability to think. On the same day, Boasberg ordered the administration to explain the reason for its apparent failure to comply with his command, DOGE employees made a march to the Museum Services Institute and libraries (IMLS), the agency responsible for financing many museums, public libraries and historical warehouses throughout the country.
Like Julius Caesar besieged and burned the Library of Alexandria, Duji officials landed on IMLS to start the process of overcoming public institutions devoted to preserving the common memory of our common past and widingly available. Only Benjamin Franklin, who the concept of public libraries designed knowledge and made it accessible to ordinary people. What used to be the private boycott of the few sector has become the public boycott of many.
The IMLS attack is only the latest episode of Trump's presidential attempt to privatize information while replacing the original history with more, according to his desire. While the archives on the Internet are racing to support the country's files and records, Trump administration officials systematically cleared government sites in real time to the tools, concepts and language we need to work as enlightened citizens. In response to the order of Defense Minister Beit Higseth to remove the content of “diversity” from the administration platforms, the Pentagon recorded pages about the Holocaust, September 11, to be aware of cancer and the prevention of suicide. The Ministry of Agriculture also deleted the data and resources groups that farmers relied on to determine the ways to deal with heat waves, droughts, floods and forest fires. Web sites belonging to the small business administration and the Arlington National Cemetery cleaned their platforms from photographs and references to women and individuals LGBTQ+ and colored people, including facts about American heroes such as Jackie Robinson or General Colin Powell.
Combating, these events reveal in the past few weeks a very rapid collapse of what gives the life of the United States constitution and its meaning. Her words may remain unchanged, but her role in our lives collapses in front of our eyes. Looking for a decisive explosion or a moment of crisis – what physicists are unique – in the chaos of the presidential provocations is a lie task, one calculated to disarm the resistance without which, we will definitely be condemned.
The seeds of continuous disintegration for a long time preceded Trump's rise to power. It was planted for decades by strategic politicians who wear ideologies in conservative clothes, allowing the oppressors of the angels in our nature to hold on to reach their peaks in fake allegations with stolen elections that led to the rebellion in the judicial capital), followed him first to connect the Sheikh Under the law to almost border power source.
It is rarely noted how this frightening authority to ignore federal criminal law has been granted not only to the president but to his legs from loyal lieutenant, from public employees to private militias. Since the constitution itself gives the presidents a failed authority to pardon others – Trump's authority that he discovered to employ to liberate from the violent rebellion that helped him unleash – we are now living under a system that any president can authorize his trusted followers to commit crimes to unify his authority and wealth, which shows that the cold swings in the event of confronting federal prosecutors. This result is that the two general sectors in the league with the president can ignore federal laws safely criminalizing the corrupt evasion of the rules designed to protect health and public safety while they raped the powers that the constitution gave to Congress, move very quickly and breaks the point that not even the truly independent federal courts can keep pace with chaos.
In his famous poem, Ts Eliot wrote a century ago: “This is the way the world ends / this is the way the world ends / … / not with a sensation but from the conflict.” His root in our past, the anti -democracy virus reached a temperature because it wanders in the political body and reviews all the effects of our history. It is a virus that we must fight with all the energy that we can mobilize if we do not want the autonomous system to die under the law-not in a sudden explosion but with a quiet bleeding.
The tragedy is that many politicians and organizations move without fighting, which leads others to the example of their example. With every surrender, Trump and his followers not only grow more equipped, but only grow, but their grip on power by taking strict measures against all those who dare their opposition in court, including lawyers who come to help the administration's enemies.
Without more brave leaders – including Republican office holders who are afraid that they will be exposed to the nominee -backed candidates – and without further courage by the executives of companies who can be exposed to Trump, this darkness will move that they have decreased from Trump wandering in that Trump aims to aim They have passed. Forgotten land.
