The GOP Is Destroying Justice to Embolden Trump’s Lawlessness
70% Informative
Donald Trump has been repeatedly blocked by judges ruling against his most extreme actions.
When Trump illegally deported over 200 Venezuelan immigrants last month and judges sought to stop him, House Republicans raced to act.
They didn’t merely engage in criticism of a judge’s decision; they made a direct challenge to the judiciary.
The GOP -led House is clearing a path for Trump to undermine the only institution that currently stands.
Julian Zelizer : Without Congress to act as a check on power, institutions designed to protect the public are being hollowed out.
He says the House GOP will dismantle the system its branch of government was created to uphold.
Zelizer says the alternative to defending the rule of law is a country crushed under the weight of impunity, corruption.
