I don't like it either for the same reason. The different character limit makes it impossible to cross-post directly from Threads and it's like nah I can't be bothered re-phrasing lol.

And maybe Trump goes there with domestic courts. But right now, he still needs the legal system to enforce his agenda.

And if his acts are illegal, until the law is changed by SCOTUS, that means they won't.

At the very least, it buys us time. These little victories can save lives in the meantime.

It's tyranny.

Understanding legal frameworks are important because it matters whether you are complying with law or with raw power. And the difference explains how compliance will be enforced.

The US enforces its will on the world not with law, but with bombs. We don't listen to the ICC and ICJ.

I mean, all laws are fake in that they're just words on paper, not self executing force fields that keep people from doing illegal things. But illegal things aren't legal just because everyone decided to listen to the Global Imperial Hegemon instead of the rulebook. That's not law, that's coercion.

And we pointed out then that when power chooses not to enforce the law, when people listen to power instead of the law, the law didn't stop existing.

The same is true in the US right now.

International law isn't any more real or fake than American domestic law.
