America, wake up! That’s right. Open your eyes and put in your hearing aids and wake the hell up. I don’t care if you call yourself a liberal or a conservative. I don’t care if you call yourself a Republican, Democrat, Independent, or even a Communist. You can label yourself with all these things because of one document, which is under attack. It is under attack by the very people who have sworn to uphold and protect that document. That document is the Constitution of the United States of America. There are people in every branch of the Government who have forsaken their oath of office and have turned their backs on the very document that defines what this country is about. When our Constitution was written, it was not written with political parties in mind. It was written as a document “of the people, by the people, and for the people”, all the people. That line today seems to sound a little corny now, but that is the problem; it shouldn’t sound corny at all. It is a document that should work for everyone, not just the political party that holds the White House. It is a document that helps preserve the voice of the minority, no matter the political party.

Trump sent out a tweet all in caps saying, “THE SUPREME COURT WON’T ALLOW US TO GET CRIMINALS OUT OF OUR COUNTRY!” It was followed up with another tweet stating, “The Supreme Court has just ruled that the worst murderers, drug dealers, gang members, and even those who are mentally insane, who come into our Country illegally, are not allowed to be forced out without through going through a long, protracted, and expensive Legal Process, one the will take, possibly many years for each person, and one that will allow these people to commit many crimes before they even see the inside of a courthouse. The results of this decision will let more CRIMINALS pour into our Country, doing great harm to our cherished American public. It will also encourage other criminals to illegally enter our Country, wreaking havoc and bedlam wherever they go. The Supreme Court of the United States is not allowing me to do what I was elected to

do.” On January 20th, Donald Trump swore an oath to the Constitution of the United States. The presidential oath is a constitutional requirement for the president-elect to assume office. Article II, Section 1 of the U.S. Constitution, the president-elect must swear. “I do solemnly swear that I will faithfully execute the Office of the President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability to preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States. My point is that when Trump swore his oath, it was to protect not just the role of the President in the Constitution, but to protect the entire Constitution. That includes the part where it is the job of the Supreme Court to interpret the Constitution. It also includes the role of Congress, which is supposed to write the laws. Executive orders are not laws. That was the job that Trump was elected to do: protect and defend the Constitution.

I have not always agreed with the Supreme Court on many of its decisions, but the way to change things is through legislation, and if necessary, a Constitutional amendment. A President complaining about it on social media is just unpatriotic and counterproductive to the Constitution that he has sworn an oath to protect. Part of the Constitution that Trump has sworn to defend is the 14th Amendment and the Due Process Clause that is within the 14th Amendment. The Fourteenth Amendment prohibits the states from depriving “any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law. Trump is declaring these people criminals without due process. Historically, due process ordinarily entailed a jury trial. The jury determined the facts, and the judge enforced the law. Criminals in the United States are arrested and tried by a jury of their peers. That is what Trump was awarded due process. In Trump's case, evidence was presented to a grand jury, which decided that a crime had been committed. He was booked, arraigned, and he eventually had a trial after he had exhausted all of his appeals of pretty much every ruling the judge made. In the end, Trump was found guilty. In my opinion, Trump is the walking example of how to abuse due process. He does not

want to afford people the same rights to due process that he was entitled to.

Trump complaining about the Supreme Court not allowing him to do the job he was elected to do is purely a man who wants to be a dictator, and not the President of what used to be the greatest country on earth. I say that with past tense because without due process we are not different from those third world countries that Trump called “shit hole countries” MAGA, the Trump supporters love to make themselves out to be some kind of Patriots. Patriots fought for the right to create the document called the Constitution of the United States. Patriots wrote the Constitution of the United States. Patriots have defended the Constitution of the United States. Trump, who would rather burn the Constitution than defend it, is no patriot. When it was his time to stand up and be counted, he got bone spurs. Good men died, and he stayed home.
