BUT if you fix a race so a particular political candidate will win enormous harm can be done and often is. There are different degrees of harm...from very little to incalculable. Yet cheating goes on and the cheaters are always very proud that they "won". What is there to be proud about when you "win" simply because you cheated/stacked the deck/fixed the outcome? less

The Trump Immigration order caused hundreds of refugees and VISA holders to be detained without access to attorneys. Specifically "no PERSON can be deprived of life, liberty or property without due process of law. The 14th also says "no PERSON can be denied equal protection under the law". PERSON. That means EVERYONE not just American citizens.THE SPENDING CLAUSETrump's threat to withhold funding from cities that refuse to enforce federal immigration statutes is empty/toothless. CONGRESS has the power of the purse. CONGRESS decides. The President is powerless .EMOLUMENTS CLAUSE A president CANNOT RECEIVE FOREIGN GIFTS WHILE IN OFFICE. Trump receives mone... less
