Republicans snuck in a provision in the "Big Beautiful Bill" that will seal Trump's dictatorial power

“The bad news is that they’ve replaced it with a provision in 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.”

“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.

Quoting Alicia Bannon, judiciary program director at New York University’s Brennan Center for Justice, The San Francisco Chronicle noted:

“If this language becomes law, Bannon said, ‘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, she said.”


Time to call your reps and Senators again to help stop this.

1. Sounds unconstitutional to me. I wonder what the Supreme Court will think of it

3. Well

Since we have 67% of the court on the far right who represent 32% of people (roughly) on the far right, i have no hope they will rule in anyway other than what will provide more power to the powerful and to further destroy our democracy. Meanwhile, most of those 32% won't stand to benefit one iota other than to "own the libs". Maybe when they goto the grocery store and can't afford food they can tell the clerk, "i own the libs" and they can get a rebate on their purchase.

2. Shame on those who never read this bill. I know it happens, but staffers can as well

4. Repuglicans are anti-constitutionalists.

If there is such a thing as karma, I hope it shows itself to them.
