Where are you getting this from because Article V of the Constitution covers this specifically. I quick search confirms this and that US Federal court nor Supreme Court can do that. Marbury v. Madison. If Trump tries this and people say it's unconstitutional, the federal courts, and ultimately the Supreme Court, will decide who is right. The Supreme Court determines what the Constitution (including the 22nd Amendment) means. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Judicial_review Edit: I'm an attorney so not entirely speaking out of my ass here. Not saying you are. I don't have arguments for gotcha moments online or make myself feel better. I know what the Constitution says and if there are ways to circumvent constitutional law then it makes me a better citizen of my own country to prevent things like this from happening. I will always on the government should be For The People Elected By the People. Complete and unchecked control of the nation is unconstitutional in my eyes. I will give this a read, thank you. |

I agree with you. Here's an example. For a long time it was settled law in this country (as determined by the Supreme Court) that the equal protection clause of the 14th Amendment allowed for Jim Crow segregation (separate but equal). Eventually the Supreme Court adopted a new (and obviously better) interpretation of the 14th Amendment that did not allow such discrimination. Same 14th Amendment, but it meant two different things to judges sitting on the Supreme Court at different times. |

Of all the people who have been self-sabotaging with their votes, pro-Palestine protestors may be at the top. Kamala was their only hope of a peace process. Trump will let Israel do what they want and no one else on earth will be able to step in and stop them. They’re a fucking dumb bunch. I wish they’d fuck off and get a job or get back into their school or college. All these cunts with their pro-Palestinian protests need to see what’s happening in Sudan. The largest war induced famine in history, tens of millions displaced on a scale hitherto unseen, mass rapes, mass ethnic cleansing. People are fucking wiping villages and towns off the face of the earth like they’re playing age of empires or something. Go protest that you fucking vagabonds. Because you’re bang on Rust, Trump will allow Bibi to practically t-bag the Palestinians and Lebanon while these stupid fucks were voting against Harris. Reality in this country is people virtue signal one way or the other so badly. I don't think they genuinely give a shit about what's actually happening between Palestine/Isreal, and I would be willing to put money that majority (again on both sides) couldn't point a map where both are 2yrs ago now everyone is an expert their history and who is right/wrong. If they cared then there would genuine concern for what's been happening in South Sudan for the last 15+ yrs, the genocide that takes place in other parts like the slavery in Colbalt mines in the Congo that's used in the phone they have, but they don't because this is the new shiny object. Now that Isreal and Iran are thumping their chest at each other, I wouldn't be surprised if Palestine gets completely forgotten about. |

I think in this case specifically the people would fire back on this massively. Yes there are maga nuts that will let him do literally anything but there is a vast majority that do not lean so radically right like that and would side with liberals on preventing it. |
