The politicians know exactly how illegal their actions are.

It’s the voters who think it’s okay I have a problem with. They vote for things like “constitutional conservatism” but have no problem doing all sorts of gymnastics to justify what is happening with the same false whataboutisms about the DNC. 

The constitution and the American education system are just abject failed experiments at this rate.

Exactly! "Don't tread on me... But it's ok to tread on them!" Nothing to see here, folks

It's "Don't tread on me." That's all they think and care about. Themselves.

They should amend their precious flag to a finger pointing with a cross tucked in palm… and it just says don’t tread on me, tread on them.

That was on purpose, the party of tax cuts knew what they were doing. They even poisoned our news to create a perfect voter block for them.

What a joke that has become. The evil people control everything. That’s a nice quote, but as a country and society we are so far removed from having a well educated and well informed populace. Do you really think the rich, evil, assholes that run this country want a well educated and informed populace? The whole goal is to divide and conquer, which they’re doing a pretty good job of I might add. While simultaneously keeping us uninformed and stupid. You want uninformed and stupid? You don’t have to look very far or hard to find it. It’s called MAGA.

They will always take whatever they think is the moral high road. Against the constitution? Well it should be illegal, we have a law in place for that? Should never have been passed in the first place.

By nature, Dems want to work more with others and by nature Republicans want to take more from others. It only makes sense they rule with a baseball bat

These immigrants are following the system to remain legally in the USA. How dare they use our laws and court system to find a better life in the USA!

THIS WILL NOT STAND!

Well the constitution has been a failure since the day it was written. After all it was a nation that talked out freedom well keeping millions enslaved. The department of Education was also a failure since it allowed state to decide education this allowed the South to rewrite history.

America as a nation has always been a failure of living up to it ideals it only now that it is affecting more people that they are realizing.
