The old politics will not work. Old rhetoric is like bringing a pillow to a knife fight. Our people (Dems and their Allies) need to be forcefully repeating that Trump's actions are illegal and calling for lawsuits and law enforcement action. Call for Impeachment. Every day. High Crimes and Misdemeanors. The Constitution still matters and needs to be defended. The Congress is controlled by MAGAs but I do not care. An Impeachment will not happen unless we regain control of Congress in 2026. We still should be calling for Impeachment every day, and calling out Trump and his Regime for what they are- Fascists and Criminals that violate the law and the US Constitution. I do not care that the Supreme Court says that a President can not commit a crime. SCOTUS have invalidated their authority. They are defunct as far as I am concerned. They have chosen a Dictator over the Constitution. They no longer have authority and have abandoned their mission to protect the Constitution. Likewise the MAGAs in Congress have failed to defend the Constitution, as is their oath. Anyone that violates their Oath to the Constitution is a traitor by definition.
