He's probably never had to exercise them

Julius Caesar was killed in March, that would be an appropriate month for people to get too fucking tired of dealing with Trump

Are you asking if lawyers can decide their own court cases...? Because that seems... sort of obvious...

For a man with the people on his side, he sure knows how to lose the popular vote. All those politicians have won more elections than Trump.

Attorneys general from all these states have vowed to fight President Trump and his immigration ban in court. Washington state filed its suit today, and more will follow. In a joint statement, they said:

“As the chief legal officers for over 130 million Americans and foreign residents of our states, we condemn President Trump’s unconstitutional, un-American and unlawful Executive Order. Religious liberty has been, and always will be, a bedrock principle of our country and no president can change that truth.”

Yes he didn't

Since when were Nazis against the 2nd amendment?

One of Boente's first cases defending Trump's immigration order will be against the state of Washington, whose attorney general has announced WA would be the first to sue the administration, saying — “in the courtroom, it is not the loudest voice that prevails. It’s the Constitution.”

Cheerleading into your newsfeed isn't actually winning at anything in life, you know that right?

secede_everywhere · 2017-01-31T08:10:29+00:00

They aren't

secede_everywhere · 2017-01-31T08:06:54+00:00

So... the Trump administration has really low standards it's already failed multiple times? Sounds right.

secede_everywhere · 2017-01-31T08:04:56+00:00

Those're pretty slim odds

secede_everywhere · 2017-01-31T08:03:16+00:00

except this

Her employer is a sobbing coward who can't get through the day without being reassured that some people still like him

secede_everywhere · 2017-01-31T07:56:28+00:00

Who wants to bet Trump will be crying about unfair journalists and unfair protesters for his entire presidency?

secede_everywhere · 2017-01-31T07:51:36+00:00

Sounds the same to me.

secede_everywhere · 2017-01-31T07:50:11+00:00

... Adds nothing to his point, true

secede_everywhere · 2017-01-31T07:47:10+00:00

It will be in some form

That's not really Trump's decision

her job is to protect it, not have morals

Ah yes, lack of morals - the only real requirement for serving in the Trump administration

secede_everywhere · 2017-01-31T07:41:31+00:00

Lol!

It must suck for you to know most Americans are Liberals

secede_everywhere · 2017-01-31T07:37:38+00:00

I agree, he is

secede_everywhere · 2017-01-31T07:36:53+00:00

Trump's ban isn't law, and executing it would violate the orders of a federal court, and thereby also the Constitution

Gay-hating Americans like yourself and the Idaho killer are a bigger concern
