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.”
The American Journal of Obviousness (AJO) says this is correct.
😲
Maybe if we keep telling him that he’s breaking the law he’ll feel bad and stop
It’s worked so far.
The rules do not apply.

He never has, why start now?
Yeah, glad we had that confirmed by the experts. We clearly wouldn’t have been able to tell otherwise. /s
Yes he is. Official acts. Not a crime. SCOTUS said so.
There’s a difference between “you can’t jail him for this” and “this is now a law you have to enforce.”
Of course if Congress and the Supremes roll over, then it can become the law.
Where there is no consequence, there is no law.
American Bar Association is bucking for the “Most obvious statement ever” award.
My exact reaction. Thanks for weighing in on it, very helpful contribution!
At least they were willing to say it.
There are quite a few nominees this year, and it’s only February.
Of 2025.
And why should he? He is doing a coup, so current laws will soon be ex-laws anyway, and won’t apply to him.
What else did you expect a convicted felon to do?
Rot in prison.
Failing that… fire up the Luigi signal?
Now now, don’t be besmirching the good felons by lumping them in with the Mango Mussolini…
Duh, and or hello.
This is my shocked face :O
…no shit
What do they say about SCOTUS?
And he won’t care. He is in the middle of a coup, why should he care for the soon to be former law?
