The problem with fetishizing the rule of law is that people have to break the law to resist fascism, state violence, and oppression. This has always been true, and is very much the case RIGHT NOW.

The thing that people need to realize is that, on the state level, a lot of Republican lawmakers don't act or think like Congressional Republicans and don't perform as pure toadies for Trump.
Some do. Many don't. I see both in Mississippi.
You can't view state politics through the lens of D.C.

This is fine but if we want to do this we need Democratic leaders saying NOW that they are going to do it.
Building the political will to rebuild the constitution starts now. And no one is doing it.
Building the political will to rebuild the constitution starts now. And no one is doing it.
If there is a Dem Congress and President, I think the best route is much simpler. Congress can pass, and the President sign, ordinary legislation declaring that Trump's pardons are void, and then strip courts' jurisdiction to review. And then send the cops to get them.
Mass pardons are coming. There will be no accountability without treating those as null and void. And that means a future administration taking an official position that Trump is not the legitimate president right now because he is disqualified by the 14th Amendment. The two things are inextricable.

This is historic Church Committee level “who ordered what, when” sort of stuff.
To put a finer point on this whole thing: "Two people with direct knowledge of the operation" — presumably uniformed military leaders — are accusing the U.S. Secretary of Defense of personally ordering specific war crimes. That's a historic accusation.
Textbook war crime/extrajudicial killing
"Two survivors were clinging to the smoldering wreck. The Special Operations commander overseeing the Sept. 2 attack ... ordered a second strike to comply with Hegseth’s instructions."

Corp., 8 F.3d 52, 54 (D.C. Cir. 1993)).
In conducting such inquiry, Plaintiffs submit that the Court should "require the
government to promptly file declarations) identifying all individuals involved in the decision not
to halt the transfer of class members out of U.S. physical custody on March 15 and 16, 2025." ECF No. 193 (Pl. Resp.) at 1. "[O]nce these declarations are filed and depending on what
information they disclose, the Court should then determine the appropriate sequence of witness
testimony, and the manner in which that testimony should be provided." Id. The Government
similarly notes: "If the Court believes any further information is needed for [its inquiry],
Defendants respectfully request an opportunity to provide that information to the Court by way
of declarations in the first instance (as even Plaintiffs agree is appropriate)." Def. Resp. at 1.
The Court will adopt the parties' agreement on starting with declarations; it will then
assess the need for witness testimony. It therefore ORDERS that by December 5, 2025, the
Government shall submit declarations from all individuals involved in the decision not to halt the
transfer of class members out of U.S. physical custody on March 15 and 16, 2025. Such
declarations shall detail their roles in such decision.
