Trump has no clue and Ramaswamy’s camp is obfuscating exactly what that ad claims. They want everyone to not think abouh what Acton’s mother is claiming Acton is lying about. And everyone with a functioning non MAGA brain understands the claim is Acton is lying about her abuse.
That ad is so on point for the party of fucking child rape.
My understanding is that they were claiming she was lying about living in a tent for some period of time, but that the ad was reworked then legal documents strongly supporting that claim were unearthed.
A group of citizens has filed a lawsuit against Trump and his cronies over his treatment of the press.
A group of scholars, journalists and press advocates sued President Donald Trump and his White House chiefs Monday over what they say is an unconstitutional policy of unreasonably restricting newsgathering and reporting by barring disfavored outlets from the White House press corps and Trump’s labeling of news organizations as “fake news.”
“The First Amendment protects the public’s right to know what its government is doing. The White House cannot decide what information Americans receive by punishing critical reporting,” said Katie Fallow, deputy litigation director at the Knight First Amendment Institute, in an announcement Monday.
You may be right, but this is frustrating. I think our definition of standing, especially for foundational rights, is way too narrow. Why doesn’t every citizen have standing for violations of the first amendment or of the emoluments clause?
All this hair splitting is bullshit. I am negatively impacted by such transgressions. I should have standing. Everyone should.
I hope it can be. I remember in his first accursed term when he opened that hotel that was frequented by foreign dignitaries. It was blindingly obvious what was going on, but several legal actions failed. Not on the merits but because of standing.
That we could witness this in broad daylight and the courts could only shrug their shoulders and say, “What are you gonna do?” is exasperating.
