The second amendment guarantees the right to a militia to guard against federal tyranny. But if a president can use that force against its own state, against the wishes of that state, then it is no militia at all and a clear violation of the second amendment.

So the White House story is now:
“We didn’t mean to threaten Harvard, because we didn’t mean to send the threatening letter we sent, but when Harvard rejected the threats we made but didn’t mean to make, we decided to threaten them twice more.”
The country is now run by thugs and idiots.

If you think it's ok for the Executive branch of government to openly defy court orders , then you don't believe in the Constitution . Balance of power was placed into the Constitution to prevent an imperial, authoritative presidency - the kind of thing the American colonies fought to get away from

This clown will cut $58 billion
Maybe
