Donald Trump and cult Republicans put fine print into 1,000 page ugly tax bill: Purpose- to weaken judiciary. IOW Fascism

Tucked in the bill’s 1,000+ pages: a weakened judiciary. Opinion letter published in the Boston Globe.

Whenever you have a Congressional bill that’s more than 1,000 pages, items will get snuck in that have little to do with the main thrust of the legislation. Amid the countless tax and spending cuts detailed in the House-passed ugly budget bill, there’s a section that diminishes the power of the judiciary.

Sec. 70302 reads, “No court of the United States may use appropriated funds to enforce a contempt citation for failure to comply with an injunction or temporary restraining order if no security was given when the injunction or order was issued ... whether issued prior to, on, or subsequent to the date of enactment of this section.”

The intent of this onerous power grab is to prevent the administration from being hamstrung by rulings from the bench by eliminating the judges’ ability to penalize government officials for defying court orders. If it passes, it would render courts impotent, allowing the government to break the law and violate the Constitution with impunity.😓

Maine Writer P.S. IOW- Fascism
AI Overview/Google: Fascism is a far-right political ideology and movement characterized by authoritarianism, ultra-nationalism, and a strong emphasis on the state and its leader. It often involves the suppression of opposition, a belief in a natural social hierarchy, and the subordination of individual interests to the perceived interests of the nation or race.

Comment on opinions page from "user": 
"Trump is simply a monstrous danger to our country in so many ways. And the entire GOP is complicitous with it's despicable genuflecting to their Dear Leader. History will NOT be kind to any of them!"
