Dead on arrival [View all]

The fact that the news media is acknowledging and reporting Trump's executive order against mail in balloting without educating them on the law is just another example of the blithering ignorance we have going on when it comes to the Constitution.

The order is worthless. The President has no standing or authority to enforce this order, it is neither legal, nor is it the law.

A lot of eighth graders who are taking Constitution this year can provide this information. The fact that most of the media ignores it and reports it tells you they're trying to create a sensation and make money off of it.

Sometimes I wonder if he actually knows the constitution and does these things to see if he can get away with it because other people in his administration are criminally ignorant of it, or whether he is as blitheringly ignorant of it as most of the rest of this country is.
