A concept I've been meaning to float to make sense of what's happened to the US Constitution is an idea from the British constitutional tradition: "implied repeal." It's useful because it helps us to understand that Article I, & much else of the US Constitution, has been implicitly repealed.

A lot of people forget how in 2004 the Bush regime kidnapped the democratically elected President of Haiti, Jean-Bertrand Aristide, and dumped him in Africa.

Democrats Will Regret Not Stripping Trumpās Dangerous War Powers
Biden and Congress squandered a chance to end the legal underpinnings of the forever war. The president-elect will once again reap the powers afforded to him.

One major thing federal elected Democrats can do now is threaten to investigate and prosecute anyone involved in war crimes if / when they are back in the majority. Political chilling effects go both ways.

Whenever I correctly point out that there is no opposition party in US politics, the usual suspects swarm to screech about Dems having no power. If these folks are correct (they are not), then they should BUILD POWER. They aren't doing that.

My attitude on this is that I'm not calling them because I think I can change their minds. I'm calling them because it is unthinkable to let them do this without hearing how evil and awful they are. My spite powers me. If I can get just 500 people a day to join me, we could fuck up their day.

"Maduro is a brutal authoritarian dictator," I wisely intone, as the corrupt demented paedophile US President violating Constitutional Law while operating a gestapo and concentration camps illegally arrests a foreign leader on charges which read like they were written on a paper placemat in crayon.

Mark Kelly puts out a statement saying "The President of the United States just overthrew a foreign ruler and explained to the American people that this is about taking control of the oil reserves of a foreign nation." This is probably the strongest statement alongside Gallego's I've read.

This is the wild part about the whole Trump experience, even when he says politically disastrous things, reporters rush in to fill in the blanks and steelman his arguments. As soon as they cut away from him saying āweāll run it,ā they cut to someone saying āobviously he didn't mean that.ā

"Trump has not even a fig leaf of legal authority for his attacks on Venezuela." Yep. That this is illegal is the point. As with January 6, his sexual assaults, his frauds, and every other crime, the point is to demonstrate that he is above the law.
