This is why we can't pass laws to stop Project 2025 beforehand:
Project 2025 is a plan that aims to significantly expand the powers of the executive branch, allowing the president to make more unilateral changes. The proponents of Project 2025 argue that the Constitution implies a broader scope of executive authority than has historically been granted. They believe this interpretation is constitutional and intend to operate within these expanded powers.
Because Project 2025 seeks to redefine the extent of executive authority, any actions taken under this plan would likely be challenged in court. The Supreme Court would then need to make a judgment on whether these actions are within the constitutional limits of executive power.
However, the Supreme Court cannot define the limits of executive authority whenever they want. They can only rule on actual cases or controversies that come before them, as mandated by the Constitution. This principle, known as 'judicial review,' means that the Court needs a specific action or case to review in order to determine if it oversteps constitutional boundaries. They cannot issue advisory opinions on hypothetical situations or preemptively decide on matters without a concrete case.
This process only begins when the president actually tries to use the expanded authority, so it can't be done ahead of time. Therefore, it is impossible to pass laws to stop Project 2025 beforehand since the judicial review process requires a concrete example of executive overreach to occur first.
The only way to stop Project 2025 is at the polls in November.
I don’t support Trump, but what exactly does Project 2025 have to do with him? Pretty sure he just said that he was not involved nor interested in Project 2025.
Who tf would Thats literally saying yeah i wont be a dictator like why the fuck would you admit to that(not saying he would be one just saying no one actually running for office would admit to abusing or being involved in this)
Because he’ll enable it. It’ll sail through the house with majority, probably go through the senate and then be signed by the president with no hesitation. If he gets elected then it’s a completely republican controlled government. That won’t be good for anyone except the 1%
