The democraticb election was just one step in a long multi step process. This was true for the Nazis, and it is true for Trump.

To actually do all the stuff he wants to do, Trump will require people to cooperate with him. Do not give any cooperation from your end.

If he does something that's illegal, litigate it in court. If he wants to pass an enabling act, filibuster that s***. If he wants to ban books, circumvent those book bans. Do not give up a single inch of ground willingly. For every person that is rounded up into a camp, some other fairly normal person had to choose to do that. Don't. Trump can't run these camps all by himself.

Here's what I want say about that.

We've got a defense system against fascism here in the US of A called checks and balances, and another one called minority rights. And I think reasonable people should lean on those as hard as we can for as long as they remain viable options.

Fascism is something that comes to pass because people allow it to happen. Even now it is not yet inevitable. For example, Proud Boys and the other paramilitaries are not unified and they don't control the streets. The best course of action is to resist at every opportunity.

I don't think you can get a pardon on a civil judgement. You probably can be pardoned for any criminal contempt cases that arise from disobeying a civil judgement.

That could at least keep you out of jail, but federal judges have a federal Marshal service they can order around to repo assets if need be.

It's probably because you got the apt that doesn't have the SUPER COW POWERS.

DLR trains do, and several airport trains.

Some London Underground lines have drivers that only intervene in the automatic operation of the train in an emergency or abnormal condition.

You're correct that the states are more independent under the current interpretation of the law. GP is expecting the Supreme Court to overturn its own current interpretation to get that national abortion ban through.

The Constitution says "swear or affirm", not just "swear". That clause accommodates Quakers and Jehovah's Witnesses.

They should take a page from Oklahoma...

Medical marijuana passes at around 55%... "Okay. The people have spoken. Guess we're doin' marijuana now."

And they are all welcome back if they can satisfy the Linux Foundation that they're not affiliated with a sanctioned entity on the SDN list.
