Trump Vows to Move Forward With Citizenship Question on Census Justice Department Reverses Course on Citizenship Question on Census, Citing Trump’s Orders
Does he think Barr will protect him? If he defies the USSC.....IMPEACH!
Don't impeach. Go another way that leaves the Senate and the Justice Department completely out of it. Have the Court System issue a contempt citation and then try him in the supreme court. If found Guilty, have the Marshals Service lock his butt up in a Federal Prison. Can you imagine the US having a sitting President doing 2 to 5 while still president? I imagine Article 25 will take care of it.
The Supreme Court doesnt try people. It doesn't even have trials. It hears arguments and issues opinions. The Executive Branch is independent of the Supreme Court...ever hear of separation of powers? We didnt elect Trump to serve under a politburo called the Supreme Court. According to our founders the executive need only ignore the opinions issued by the Supreme Court. In that case the third branch could get involved, the Legislative, and either support the president or impeach him. Game over.
For instance...Congress has passed a series of laws banning Mexicans from walking across the border. As the executive the President is legally obligated to enforce this law by any means necessary. But we have a situation where the judicial branch is blocking his ability to carry out his constitutional mandate..and Congress stands by and allows it to happen. Two branches have stymied the third despite the law being clear.
So Trump should add the citizenship question anyhow and dare the legislative branch to take a side. Elections are next year.
