RE:”The Constitution is just words on paper unless ALL parties agree to be bound by it and unless those charged with “upholding, protecting, and defending” it do their duty. And at this point in time, realistically, based on the actions or lack of action on the subjects involved, that isnt’ going to happen.”

That reminds me.

Any Trump supporting constitutional purists out there, can you find where in the constitution Trump found the authority for he POTUS to do this?

Donald Trump vowed on Thursday to issue an executive order mandating the death penalty for anyone who kills a police officer.

Actually this proved his utter lack of knowledge on basic civics. With very few exceptions, murder is handled at the state level. Some states don’t even use the death penalty anymore.

This is just another example where he says a bunch of cool stiff that will make his fanboys whoop it up about tough The Donald is.... because he has no clue what something like that would entail, and he certainly hasn’t thought it through. And he knows the Wrestle mania crowd won’t know either.
