One constitutional crisis after another; Trump continues to break new ground when it comes to pushing past the boundaries. Sending DHS "troops" without invitation from the States was last week's violation. This week's is the DHS thumbing its nose at the SCOTUS decision that it must reinstate DACA. Yes it's part of a pattern, but this is perhaps the most serious to date by far. Prior efforts to violate the law were rebuffed by the courts and Trump backed down. But this time he's simply doubling down, ignoring SCOTUS' decision.
There is no higher democratic authority to determine what is or is not lawful. That he is ignoring it indicates we have left the domain of democracy and are on the precipice of authoritarianism. So, where do we go when an administration ignores the ultimate rule of law. We are living in perilous times.
The question is "what now"?
