A federal judge found probable cause that the Trump administration acted with contempt of court in violating his order to immediately halt deportations of Venezuelans suspected of being gang members.
US District Judge James Boasberg issued an order Wednesday saying that officials acted in “willful disregard” of his verbal order on March 15 to turn around planes carrying Venezuelans now held in a notorious prison in El Salvador. Boasberg said at a court hearing on April 3 that “the government acted in bad faith throughout that day.”
If this, republican majority impeached him, then the senate would definitely convict. In that case Trump is no longer the president.
The past two times dems held the house, but not the senate, so Republicans in the senate prevented a conviction.
Impeachment means there is evidence of misconduct (at a significant level). Senate conviction means you’re out as president.
Oh. And he’ll say “Oh no, you got me” and walk away? I mean, he did exactly that on Jan 6 that one time, right?
Like, just to check: he is going to ignore The Law if it is written law or a ruling from a judge or the supreem court. But hey, if the people he tried to have fucking murdered (and worse) say not to do something, he’ll definitely listen to them, right?
If we get to the point where the senate convicts him, I think it’s game over. That means that republican party has finally turned on him (meaning they think the public has too).
US is sliding towards authoritarianism, but having the whole country against you is still not something he can overcome.
He literally tried to have the senate (and house) murdered by an angry mob.
But yeah, that is definitely going to be the one line he won’t cross. Ignoring their disapproval.
