The new populist president railed against the judiciary as they blocked his aggressive moves to restructure his country’s government and economy.
This was in Mexico, where former President Andrés Manuel López Obrador eventually pushed through changes that required every judge in his country to be elected rather than appointed. The reforms, and the promise of more by his successor, caused markets to lose confidence in his country’s reliability as a place to invest, which led its currency to weaken.
It was one in a series of assaults that populists around the globe have launched on the courts in recent years, and legal observers now wonder if the United States could be next.
As the courts deliver a series of setbacks to his dramatic attempt to change the federal government without congressional approval, President Donald Trump’s supporters are echoing some of the rhetoric and actions that elsewhere have preceded attacks on the judiciary.
Trump has no intentions of willingly stepping down at the end of this mandate. He has 4 years to test the system and change/remove any opposition to his will. At the end of his mandate, whether he will be forcibly removed from the White House or not depends on how much hard power he manages to gain the control of. This is why he is moving fast.
The real test against fascism is whether or not the justice system and executive powers can stand firm against these fascist onslaughts (i.e., by effectively enforcing laws/constitution, which usually have safeguards against fascists written in them) or whether they can’t and so the new autocratic leader is allowed to basically do what he wants.
Despite the rhetoric, the Trump administration has so far not openly defied a court order…
