Suzanne Aldrich (she/her)<p>9/<br>Congress must act.<br>Speak out.<br>Support legal challenges.<br>And affirm that no president has the power to issue bills of attainder—ever.<br><a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/DefendTheConstitution" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DefendTheConstitution</span></a></p>
Suzanne Aldrich (she/her)<p>8/<br>Make no mistake: this is a test.<br>If these orders are allowed to stand, future presidents—of any party—could do the same.<br>Silence lawyers. Punish critics. Strip away civil liberties with the stroke of a pen.<br><a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/DefendTheConstitution" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DefendTheConstitution</span></a></p>
Suzanne Aldrich (she/her)<p>7/<br>27 senior U.S. officials from both parties filed a brief opposing these actions.<br>They called them “unthinkable” and “ultra vires”—beyond the bounds of lawful authority.<br>The kind of thing they never imagined seeing in a democracy. <br>Case Info: <a href="https://www.justsecurity.org/110109/president-cannot-issue-attainder-bills/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">justsecurity.org/110109/presid</span><span class="invisible">ent-cannot-issue-attainder-bills/</span></a><br><a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/DefendTheConstitution" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DefendTheConstitution</span></a></p>
Suzanne Aldrich (she/her)<p>6/<br>Here’s the kicker: these orders don’t even pretend to serve national security.<br>They’re pure retaliation—against people who did their jobs and defended democracy.<br>Like former DHS cybersecurity chief Chris Krebs.<br>Case Info: <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/2025/04/09/donald-trump-retribution-miles-taylor-00007512" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">politico.com/news/2025/04/09/d</span><span class="invisible">onald-trump-retribution-miles-taylor-00007512</span></a><br><a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/DefendTheConstitution" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DefendTheConstitution</span></a></p>
Suzanne Aldrich (she/her)<p>5/<br>In court, Trump’s lawyers argued the ban only applies to Congress—not the president.<br>This is radical and wrong. The executive can’t do what even Congress can’t do with his signature.<br>That would make the president a king. <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/DefendTheConstitution" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DefendTheConstitution</span></a></p>
Suzanne Aldrich (she/her)<p>4/<br>In fact, the only place in the Constitution where a power is banned twice is this one:</p><p>“No Bill of Attainder…shall be passed.” (Art. I, Sec. 9 &amp; 10)<br>The Framers knew the danger of letting any branch bypass the courts to punish citizens. <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/DefendTheConstitution" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DefendTheConstitution</span></a></p>
Suzanne Aldrich (she/her)<p>3/<br>This isn’t some obscure legal technicality. Bills of attainder were how kings silenced dissent.<br>Even Henry VIII needed Parliament to do it.<br>Trump is doing it unilaterally. That’s power no king in British history ever claimed. <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/DefendTheConstitution" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DefendTheConstitution</span></a></p>
Suzanne Aldrich (she/her)<p>2/<br>These executive orders revoke security clearances, terminate federal contracts, and ban access to government buildings—without trial or due process.<br>They name people. They punish them.<br>That’s the definition of a bill of attainder.<br>And the Constitution forbids it. <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/DefendTheConstitution" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DefendTheConstitution</span></a></p>
Suzanne Aldrich (she/her)<p>1/<br>Trump is issuing executive orders that punish political enemies—by name.<br>Lawyers. Law firms. Even Chris Krebs, the cybersecurity official who defended the 2020 election.<br>This is illegal. This is authoritarian. And it’s happening right now.<br><a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/DefendTheConstitution" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DefendTheConstitution</span></a></p>
