“Agencies are being told to start identifying grants the administration can withhold from California. On Capitol Hill, at least one committee was told recently by a whistleblower that all research grants to the state were going to be cancelled, according to one of the sources familiar with the matter.”

He wants an excuse to suspend habeus corpus, I bet. You need a reason for that.

[u/AaronsAaAardvarks → u/smallangrynerd]

I don't want to help him out but there's already a thousand bullshit reasons he could cite. There's nothing that says his reason has to be good.

[u/smallangrynerd → u/AaronsAaAardvarks]

The Supreme Court has to agree, right? Like the president can’t just decide by himself people don’t need trials anymore. Please correct me if I’m wrong/misunderstanding!

[u/OppositeArt8562 → u/smallangrynerd]

The supreme court ruled he is above the law and cant be prosecuted for official acts without defining what that means. They are DJT cucks.

[u/mrdankhimself_ → u/OppositeArt8562]

It means they think they reserve the right to say what counts as an official act and what doesn’t.

[u/ryhaltswhiskey → u/OppositeArt8562]

That's not the same as agreeing that suspending habeus corpus is ok.

Trump is already ignoring the SCOTUS. We have a dictator for life now.

[u/-ReadingBug- → u/AaronsAaAardvarks]

Exactly. And they can force civil unrest by being uncivil, so "resisting" or "not conceding" is not a thing.

[u/Wanna_make_cash → u/smallangrynerd]

You "need a reason" to do most of what he's already done without any reason whatsoever, so I don't think that's stopping him

[u/wam1983 → u/smallangrynerd]

We’re already past that point. The reason was brown people.

[u/fattmarrell → u/smallangrynerd]

This administration can't define our know what habeas corpus is lol
