Thank you Jamal, excellent point

Noted

I definitely care!

First, we had @emergencybod.medsky.social trip us up with "apposite" and now we have to deal with "inapposite"? Why not use inappropriate?? Gah, we really are in hell.

Beautifully stated. When I think, "well that sounds like it should be illegal," it helps if a lawyer says, that's illegal.

🎯

We all know Trump doesn't care if he's breaking the law, but many of us didn't know he couldn't legally change the name of the Kennedy Center, so your post was greatly appreciated.

Thank you for doing what you do. I know you must be exhausted from trying to explain why people should be more than “mildly concerned“ about what is going on in this country and the effects it has on the world! At least they may listen to you because of your education.

The version of this I get is, "Nice findings and all, but would this convince Justice Alito?" No. No, it would not.

I'm glad you care AND I learned a new word (inapposite) Win/win

Take my money.

Thank you

Why do you think we care that you don’t care that the lawbreaker doesn’t care?

I care.

❤️

And even if someone gets away with breaking the law for a season, it is still worth pointing out the entire time. Pointing out that someone is breaking the law is implicitly a demand that the rule of law should be the standard. So please, please keep pointing it out!

Prof dishing out the nota benes all devil may care and so forth

Thank you! Please keep bothering me. I wouldn't know about legal things unless a great lawyer takes the time to explain it to me. I will only speak for myself. If people are following you, you're doing something right.

Thank you. Anything we can legally do to oust him right now? Asking for a friend.

It isn’t a workable solution which is why you should share your latest actions to hold the President to account. Think of it as market research. Professor Greene shared what he knows to be legally true about *today’s* announcement. One day. One.

But if there are no consequences after getting caught did a law really get broken? Do laws exist when lawlessness is celebrated, even rewarded?

There comes a time when the people move the lawyers and courts aside, and take care of business as it has been done since time began. Fascists require manual extraction once the courts fail. I can wait for this house of cards to collapse. As it sends the backers of it scattering like cockroaches.

what does caring do though? legality is only meaningful if it is enforced and i have no power to hold anyone accountable to the law. the law isn't a god that will answer my prayers if i believe hard enough, it is a thing enforced by the state.

Thank you.

You lost them at “inapposite.”

When the social contract ain't worth the paper it's written on laws don't mean shit.

We care you know the Law. Why don’t you bring suit and make the Law work

for sure.

Just block ‘em

Fighting fascism is fighting fatigue. It's a long fight.

I see a lot of supposed lawyers on here claiming some act is unlawful when it clearly isn't. People need to go read Article 2 and get over it. Suspending Immigration law with EOs and ignoring court orders telling you to cease and desist is unlawful...

Damn straight. Please keep advising.

We do care. The response is just to note the indifference to the law by president and the frustration with the acquiescence or complicity of the MAGA GOP congress and MAGA SCOTUS to this lawlessness.

Laws only mean anything if they're enforced. It's always been the case that they're enforced selectively, with the rich and well-connected generally being shielded from the consequences of their lawbreaking. Under Trump II any pretense that all are equal under the law has been destroyed.

Legality isn’t really the point, because it’s completely arbitrary.

💯 Thank you, Professor. This is important for us to know.

Hear hear!

I care! I also appreciate the lawyers on Blue Sky!

My easy cynicism trumps your helpful information, sir.

Keep bothering. Keep caring. Keep fighting.

It matters not whether we care. If caring were the standard then the murder of an orphan who was never known to the community wouldn’t matter. Justice matters. The rule of law, everyone treated equally, matters. To do harm to one is to harm all of us.

I think a more relevant question that we unfortunately don’t agree on is what should we do about it.

Some of these responses are mocking in tone, posted by committed nihilists. Others are probably just an expression of frustration in the moment, by people who do care. Yeah, we should restrain the impulse, but in this timeline, it’s hard not to occasionally give in to despair.

No, they're just preening about their cynicism, because they think it's cool, but it's not. It's just stupid and annoying.

If they want to just rage I get that but go rage against racists bigots and republicans. Discuss your frustrations with democrats at town halls by calling/writing them meeting with them joining in at a county level to help them move things along quicker. Etc. we don’t need to air out dirty laundry

It's annoying when elected say he is breaking the law then refuse to attempt to impeach him. Then have him executed as a traitor.

I care and want to thank you for informing us. As an added bonus, I now know the word inapposite, and can even pronounce it correctly!

It would be nice, sometimes, if those charged with enforcing laws also cared, just a little bit...

Why the fuck SHOULD I care? For the entirety of Trump's first term and most of Biden's presidency the *finest* legal minds churned out endless slop for MSNBC viewers' red meat, and what did it all result in? A single conviction for improperly paying a sex worker. Which he served zero time for.

Does the system care? Will they face any consequences? Are you advocating for any meaningful method to make them face consequences?

I actually sometimes cite caselaw or statutes in my posts just to emphasize a point I think it makes a favorable impression on the reader and gives them an understanding of how the law is supposed to work

Keep doing it!

Can we stop avoiding reality and call it what it is? Claiming extrajudicial murders are allowed by law is the final stage of a regime intent to commit genocide. For those who don't understand how fascist dictatorships devolve into persecution, violence and other crimes, we're living it now.

Well said! A new sign to tap.

This is also why real scientists call out bullshit science

No, the question is, what can we as individuals do about it? Can any of us go arrest him?

I think the frustration comes from the fact that yes, we care, but it no longer matters since the judiciary has become captured by the administration. Telling us it's unlawful is about as useful as telling us it's raining when we're already wet. We know, we're not happy about it, now what?

The problem with caring is the 🦊 all I can do about it

Apparently saying that things are illegal makes you a traitor and puts you on a Trump hit list.

That’s so funny. I was just thinking about how I, as an educated woman and lawyer with an impressive knowledge of abortion rights in this country, repeatedly post about a current attack to our abortion rights, it’s not because my thumbs have nothing to do. It’s so people can act on the information.

I do care. It's incredibly frustrating the federal government doesn't care.

Thank you, Mr. Greene, I agree.

Exactly. 👍🏼

In appreciation 💙💙💙

I cared in one hand and shit in the other, and now both hands are covered in shit.

Thank u 4 this I feel like I’m banging My damn head Against the wall Ppl who react this way LIVE IN PRIVILEGE Bc it doesn’t affect Their daily lives Well It affects mine & I’m offended Plus too many Think coming here And making comments Like that IS Resistance It’s doing my head in #Mm

Trump has single-handedly demonstrated that our entire legal system is a fragile fiction. He breaks the law, nobody enforces it. He loses in court, he bumps to a higher court where he owns the judges. He usurps Congress' power, the speaker shuts down the vote. What do you want us to do, exactly?

unfortunately, the ones that actually need to care are the ones that are excusing him in the first place.

Lutnick is an idiot. I used to have respect for him before he joined the buffoon spectacle.

Caring is a starting point for knowledge, and knowledge is a starting point for action. Small steps like staying aware and just speaking out on social media are meaningful if not immediate.

ABSOLUTELY!!!

Trump not caring and that mattering to the point his not caring has made him invincible exposes that we need to do more than just care that he is unlawful. The system that can be so easily bypassed needs to be gutted and rebuilt.

Learned a new word today, love it when that happens!

Thank you for informing! We have to stay vigilant. Keep pushing.

Thank you 🙏

I don't think that'd be enough, but the next president could, and should.

We need more than norms to constrain the president. Many people already care so it's past time to start talking about what replaces norms in the future to prevent a third Trump. We can not just go back to respecting norms like Biden tried.

He did love his honorifics.

It's amazing when "knowing pundits" are continually telling everyone "having moral standards that matter to you *whether or not anyone is watching* because it's critical to your self identification as a person of worth means you're a pathetic loser"

Someone’s got to care! Which is kind of the whole lesson of the Trump era. Things have gotten so out of hand precisely because not enough people in the position to directly intervene, care. It’s maybe the main issue!

Social media seems to make people want to one up you even when they don't know shit.

He doesn’t care about laws, either.

And I do care, so thank you

you must get a lot of whooosh type responses in your mentions

We say that in despair. Because Congress does not step up and stop him. Because we do care.

For Trump, the law does not exist except as a weapon and a shield.

It varies by the situation, but just being there for others who are also caring is useful.

When you're right, you're right:)

Thank you.

The fact that I "care" about whether something is illegal or not is completely pointless.

The two are not unrelated. When enough people make their voices heard, we can reasonably hope for enforcement.

I'm trying to decipher what your point is? Can you please elaborate further in plain English?

👍

Please keep bothering, there are too many who just haven’t learned.

Caring isn't enough though either. You need to punish these people by any means necessary.

1000%, I care.

I do care, and I thank you. I’m pretty informed on the law, but I’m not a lawyer and often don’t know. Again, thank you.

Thank you

I care, I wish our lawmakers in congress did.

Yes!

When they respond “do you think he cares” they are reacting to the information and expressing the dismay at knowing nothing will happen. They are informing you thay they are upset. That is what humans do. They are telling you they care. Don’t police the way they do it.

Furthermore, everyone who supports him should have to answer for why they support an abolition of morality and human decency as if it were for lesser beings or a tool to be used to punish only enemies. And we should be clear we know they love cruelty.

Thank you

Appreciated.
