Summary
The American Bar Association (ABA) condemned Trump’s administration for disregarding the rule of law, urging courts and attorneys to push back.
ABA President William R. Bay criticized Trump’s rapid executive orders and restructuring of government agencies, including USAID’s dismantling.
He reminded the administration of the three coequal branches of government and praised a federal judge for blocking Trump’s executive order against birthright citizenship, emphasizing that the 14th Amendment guarantees this right.
Amid multiple lawsuits and government turmoil, Bay called on elected officials to defend legal norms, stating, “These are not partisan or political issues… We must stand up for the values we hold dear.”
American Bar Association is bucking for the “Most obvious statement ever” award.
There are quite a few nominees this year, and it’s only February.
Of 2025.
At least they were willing to say it.
My exact reaction. Thanks for weighing in on it, very helpful contribution!
As a friend of mine says: “The American Bar Association is a very agree-to-disagree organization. If the ABA is warning about an imminent collapse of the rule of law, we are down to studs and wires.”
A clown, a felon and a rapist walks into a barassociation
A man who’s above the law isn’t following the law??
Daaaaaaaang.
…

…so, uh… I noticed he’s still not in jail. Did y’all have a backup plan?
Man, who gave him permission to do whatever he wanted while in office with legal impunity?
Phased plasma rifle in the 40-watt range.
Hey, just what you see, pal.
The Luigi 9mm.
He never has, why start now?
…no shit
Uh yeah? Last summer the highest court in the land essentially ruled that he doesn’t have to so long as he’s the president. Only Congress has the authority to stop him now through impeachment and conviction.
Every single one of those ecg-swasti-scribbles on an executive order will be pushed back as the presidential power authorized by the highest court prior to the election.
Maybe if we keep telling him that he’s breaking the law he’ll feel bad and stop
It’s worked so far.
No shit Sherlock! Where have they been the last nine years, auditioning for “Idioacracy” II?
It’s like we have evolved into to two species. One with intelligence, and the other with shit for brains.What else did you expect a convicted felon to do?
Rot in prison.
Failing that… fire up the Luigi signal?
And he won’t care. He is in the middle of a coup, why should he care for the soon to be former law?
Gasps
This is my shocked face :O
No shit.
