Republicans Try to Stop Courts from Holding Trump Accountable
Republicans wants to stop people from suing the Trump administration in federal court for their abuses and lawless conduct by Section 70302 in their Big Horrible Bill, which would make it all but impossible for anybody other than billionaires to sue the Trump administration in federal court. This is just the latest example of what dirty rotten, lawless, scum-of-the-earth fascist bastards Republicans are who doesn’t gave a DAMN about Average Joe Americans or Trump’s abusive lawless conduct.
Trump Took Your Ability to Change DANGEROUS Laws & You Don’t Even Know
Senate GOP’s Remedy for Anti-Trump Lawsuits? Make Them Impossible.
There’s a provision in the Senate’s “big, beautiful bill” that would make plaintiffs against the federal government post huge bonds to file lawsuits. And they’re proud of this crap.
Per the above article; Section 70302 of the bill that will make it all but impossible for anybody—other than billionaires and giant corporations—to sue the Trump administration for dictatorial behavior (or anything else) in federal court.
This may have something to do with the fact that over 300 lawsuits have been filed against Trump and his goons, and federal courts have blocked Trump in at least 187 of them, as of this week. Trump has outright won only 7.1 percent of the cases where he or his administration have been sued.
The system Republican senators have inserted to keep you and me—and nonprofit public interest groups and blue-state governors—from suing Trump is pretty straightforward; instead of just filing the lawsuit and paying the typically small fees associated with those filings, you’ll now have to post a bond that could run into the millions or even billions of dollars before your filing can be accepted by the court.
Alicia Bannon, judiciary program director at New York University’s Brennan Center for Justice, told The San Francisco Chronicle: “If this language becomes law, it will be financially impossible for ordinary Americans to go to court to protect their rights, like trying to make sure they receive Social Security payments or are protected against unlawful deportation. Bonds for those orders could cost many millions of dollars.”
Republican chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee Chuck Grassley was truly excited by the prospect of everybody—except billionaires and giant corporations—being blocked from the federal courthouse when Trump’s people screw them. He crowed: “Finally, the Senate Judiciary Committee is advancing solutions in the One Big Beautiful Bill to restore the constitutional role of the federal judiciary.”
In my opinion, Chuck Grassley is an IDIOT and Republicans are LAWLESS CORPORATE WHORES who are bought and paid for by the RICH and don’t give a DAMN about Average Joe Americans
REPUBLICANS DEFEATED!
