Trump attack on our courts threatens every American Opinion star-news.press/wp

Our country is facing the constitutional crisis that should alall every American.

Since the laying, President Donald Trump launched an unprecedented attack on our judicial system – ignoring their oath to protect the Constitution, Trampling on our system of verification and balance and attacking our fundamental freedoms.

If the president may ignore or intimidate judges who rule against him, the rights of everyday Americans are no longer guaranteed.

Warning signs flashing red. Vice President JD Vance Boldly stated that “The judges are not allowed to control the executive legitimate power. “Elon Musk exposed his personal data after a disadvantage. When Judge James Boasberg ruled against the mass deportation of the administration, he faced threats about incentives and what he described”Possible defiance“Law Court.

We cannot ignore these actions or rhetoric. Trump Administration has launched a coordinated attack on our constitution that threatens our lives and means for living. Instead of standing for our founding principles, Trump’s Republican allies in Congress are actively enabling this dangerous power to capture legislation that would disassemble judicial independence.

Congress is currently considering several accounts that would have catastrophic implications. Don’t be fooled by their innocent sound. The Law on Judges They would let Trump name 22 new lifelong judges – basically packing courts with loyalists. Paprica Law It would allow for the current and former executive officials to transfer cases against them from the state to the Federal Courts and forced the cancellation of almost all cases against the president, creating a prison card. Others, the Norra ACTwould prevent judges to issue national prohibitions to stop unconstitutional actions.

Let’s be clear about what is in question. It is not about abstract legal principles – it is about your health care, your personal security, clean air and water and economic security. Donald Trump wants to let the million health care of Americans take off, dismantle environmental protection that preserve our food and water, and further become attached to the economic system for the damage to the work family and the vulnerable community. Without independent courts to review these actions, there would be no meaningful resource for stopping him.

The Trump Administration also target law firms that represent clients opposing his agenda. Trump President has weapons on his executive authority and used “Mafic” tactics to pressure Five leading knee bending lawyers and forcing at least 340 million dollars in Pro bonus work For Trump projects. This further attack on our legal system aims to intimidate lawyers across the country and ensure that Americans cannot find lawyers who are willing to oppose the government’s cutting.

Through American history, our courts have protected the rights of people when other branches of government were not the end of school segregation and wrong detention, security of voting rights and support free speech. If the courts lose independence, who will protect your rights when the Congress or Executive violates?

It’s not about politics. It is about whether, as Americans, we continue to believe in the basic principles of the Constitution: the separation of powers, checks and the balance, and that government power comes from the people, not the king.

We survived as a democracy for almost 250 years because we respected and defended this system, even when we disagree with special decisions. It’s just a patriotic thing to do.

Now a very foundation with the system is eroded – and we must act with urgency. Call your representatives and seek to quickly refuse legislation that violate judicial independence. Support organizations are fighting for the preservation of our constitutional system. Call judges to keep the administration responsible when defying court orders. And most importantly, you speak with friends and family about why the independent judiciary is important, regardless of who is in power.

The Constitution begins with “we people” for a reason. Ultimately, our government system depends on all of us for that, and we owe it to ourselves and for future generations to do everything we can stop this attack on democracy and our fundamental freedoms.
