    I am beginning to realize how inadequate the education people received in the US are.

    Both the Legislator and Judicial have the authority to deputize to make arrests in determination of contempt.

    The “sperate but equal” has meaning to it. The major difference is that over time the Republicans have allocated more and more funds to the Executive to enable them to build up a persistent “enforcement.”

    I’m beginning to wonder if the education we received was entirely on purpose.

      In no way shape or form is that a “Republican” problem. Democrats have been happily handing ever more power to the Executive for decades. As I’ve said in other places this is a symptom of Congress members being more worried about re-election and campaign donations than handling the business of the nation.

      I’m beginning to wonder if the education we received was entirely on purpose.

      I graduated in '91 from a town in the MidWest with about 30,000 people. We covered “separate but equal”. I tire of people blaming the education system when in reality most people are ignorant by choice.

      Please explain to me how they are going to arrest someone that can pardon himself and use the national guard or Army to protect himself?

        …and was ruled by SCOTUS to be immune to prosecution for some undetermined “official acts”. And when he was convicted the judge ruled no penalty should be applied because SCOTUS had ruled he was immune to prosecution.

        Well, there were 5.2m people protesting in one day.

        The judges have the authority to deputize number of people required to carry out an arrest warrant in the case of contempt.

        I am willing to bet that out of 5.2m there are at least several hundred thousand willing to assist with that.

        They aren’t going to. Talk it to death nothing will change. No court or Marshall can help anymore. They have instilled a fascist dictator who will not be removed without force.

          The deputized Marshalls are authorized to use force if necessary to apprehend the criminal.

            Trump can issue an excecutive order and have them executed.

            remember - SCOTUS has ruled he is immune from prosecution.

              Trump can issue an excecutive order and have them executed.

              An “insane” ex-employee of a three letter agency can fire a wire-guided missile at his helicopter too, or someone may leave a drop of nerve agent on his door knob. I mean to say: possibilities for violence are endless. They’re an entirely different dish than legal possibilities, which are limited. With violence, imagination is the limit.

              The supreme court however - I think they’re not bound by their previous rulings. If the court sees a justification, they can rule differently next time.

              They even decided it before they elected the dictator so folks could vote accordingly and they still ticked Heir Drumpf on vote day or didn’t bother.

        This link is AMAZING. I will share this far and wide.

        I’ve wished for something like this each time I picked up the goddamn phone to call my goddamn representative and stumbled through my statement. I’ve called a few times, good on me, but it was awful. Inept phone-users unite! We too can call our reps!

        You made a call and were actually able to speak with someone? How does one do this exactly?

          I have three reps I call on the regular (but I think I might start to include my governor’s office too). They (the interns) don’t always pick up. Depends on call volume, time of day, or whether they give a crap. But I highly recommend 5calls.org They do help get some thoughts together based on topic and give you a statement you can read if you need to and they supply the phone numbers for your reps. I go off script all the time and am passionate, but I try hard not to rant.
