    Unless 76% of Republicans makes up 18% of Americans, they got some ‘splainin’ to do.

    “Presidents should obey court orders. But not my president, and not those court orders!”

    Guys, what the fuck did you think was being discussed?

      It should be common sense. It’s like asking people if they think people should have to obey laws

    Trump’s party still believe the courts should generally be able to check the power of U.S. presidents, but that many Republicans would support Trump defying a court order in order to deport people seen as a threat.

    so, 76% of republicans reject the idea of due process. noted.

    What’s scary is… there’s a significant number of Americans who believe presidents shouldn’t obey courts.

    (also, that 76% of AmericansRepublicans who apparently think that fucking over due process won’t hurt them. How do they know there weren’t American citizens on that flight? how do they know they won’t be put on the next?)
