TRUMP AND THE LAW

As a Brit I am amazed at the on-going row between the Trump Administration and the Governor of California.

I can't imagine a situation in the UK where a judge could rule that the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom committed an illegal act. Should such a situation occur it would result in the resignation of the Prime Minister and probably the fall of the Government virtually immediately.

Yet a lower court federal judge, Judge Breyer, rules that Trump committed an illegal act - violated the 1903 Militia Act and violated the 10th Amendment of the United States' Constitution and that pending a preliminary injunction hearing on Friday the matter is now before the 9th Circuit Court of Appeal.

And Trump is still President, having been told, in court, by a federal judge, that he violated the 10th Amendment of the United States' Constitution which he swore on Inauguration Day to ' preserve, protect, and defend'.

I cannot conceive of anything even remotely similar occurring in the UK, the national government at war with a section of its own country  and being dragged before the courts for its actions.

How has this great country, the defender of democracy throughout the 20th century, sunk so low?

Is this truly what Americans voted for, is this the kind of country they want?
