>would you prefer what’s happening in brazil?

I prefer not to do what aboutism.

>what kind of powers do you envision the judiciary having to rectify these wrongs?

Isn't that supposed to be figured out already? What is "checks and balances" if they can just be ignored? Impeachment for ignoring supreme court orders would be one example.

Obama dropped a bomb on a us citizen without giving him due process. How should this case be handled? Like i said, american presidents causing untold misery on some people is a tale as old as time. The point is to create a system that is, on balance, just.

This is continued whataboutism, which I'm simply not interested in participating in a conversation with.

Sure! Why not start now. I'll be eagerly watching, and hoping, that you guys figure it out.

i think i’ve written enough to show that’s that last thing im trying to do.

It's quite literally the only thing you've done in this particular thread?

I mean, that may be your intent, but so far you've brought up Brazil and Obama in a conversation about Trump ignoring the courts orders and said nothing about Trump ignoring the orders.
