New Trump admin motto appears to be “move fast and violate federal law and the US Constitution.” This looks like the beginning of a new Constitutional crisis, as the executive branch breaks the law and ignores the lawful orders of federal courts.

“BOSTON (AP) — A doctor from Lebanon who arrived at the Boston airport was deported over the weekend without explanation, despite having a U.S. visa [granted just 6 days ago] and a job teaching at Brown University.

“A judge had ordered she not be sent back until there was a hearing, but government lawyers said customs officials did not get word in time.

“It’s the latest deportation of a foreign-born person with a U.S. visa in the past week, after a student at Columbia who led protests of the Gaza war was arrested, and another student’s visa was revoked. The Trump administration also transferred hundreds of immigrants to El Salvador even as a federal judge issued an order temporarily barring the deportations.

“Dr. Rasha Alawieh, 34, had been granted the visa on March 11 and arrived at Boston Logan International Airport on Thursday, according to a complaint filed on her behalf by a cousin in federal court.”

Here is your list of Democratic Senators who gave up on defending the Constitution. It may be more the fault of their donors and the voters in their states, but here’s the list.

You know things are bad when this is how the PBS NewsHour starts (last night):

"The federal government is closed today in observance of Presidents Day, but the Trump administration's effort to permanently scale back the size and scope of the federal work force continues in full force. As Laura Barron-Lopez reports, President Trump's actions in his first few weeks also fueled demonstrations on this holiday weekend.
LAURA BARRON-LOPEZ: This Presidents' Day...
PROTESTERS: This is what democracy looks like!
LAURA BARRON-LOPEZ: ... protests across the country, pushing back against President Trump's first month in office and what organizers say are his antidemocratic and illegal actions. They call it the No Kings Day protest, even as the president suggested in social media posts this weekend that he is above the law, stating: 'He who saves his country does not violate any law.' Democratic Congressman Jamie Raskin responded on CBS.
REP. JAMIE RASKIN (D-MD): The dominant objective of this administration is corruption and lawlessness.
LAURA BARRON-LOPEZ: Trump's declaration comes as his administration faces multiple restraining orders from judges, who have in some cases said his actions are likely unconstitutional."

I'm sure it's JUST a coincidence that searching for the Constitution at the White House webpage now leads to "Page Not Found":

https://www.whitehouse.gov/about-the-white-house/our-government/the-constitution/

The US Constitution can no longer be found on the White House website (see url)

It's almost like I had some insight on why I wanted to federate a copy here on the Fedi.

This is a brilliant article that makes clear that the 14th amendment protects women's right to choose on abortion by comparing it legally to slavery and the clear desires of the founders.

Then again, what I believe, if the government does what I don't like, I should turn to God as his servant.

"Let every person be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and those that exist have been instituted by God."

-Romans 13:1, ESV, OpenBible.info

Even though I study these things, I still serve the Lord here and now.
