Trump is misusing a law which clearly states a standard of reasonable grounds to a form of guilt by association, conflating those fleeing terrorist violence with those causing it. This is a fundamental perversion of both the law and the fact that guilt by association (in this case equating terrorists with their victims) is both a logical fallacy but illegal. Such a perversion of the law to justify clearly illegal discrimination is a high crime which demands accountability. The Constitution provides impeachment as the proper procedure for such crimes.
So not only is Trump in violation of US laws, he is guilty of violating international laws. Another important agreement which Trump is violating is the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR), which was adopted in 1948, guarantees the right to seek and enjoy asylum in other countries.
The Senate gave this consent (forThe International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR) in April 1992, and in early June, George Bush signed the instrument of ratification. On June 8, 1992, the US, one of the key players in drafting the Covenant, finally ratified this important human rights treaty.
These treaties offer sufficient grounds to impeach Trump for violating "the supreme law of the land" and ignoring international laws by violating human rights.
And this in his first week!
Denying protection to people fleeing violence, most of it caused by US military intervention, is not only a crime but a stain on our honor as decent human beings committed to the rule of law and the moral obligation to provide protection to victims of war and violence, whether in Iraq, Syria, or Honduras, all aided and abetted by the US itself.
It's time to stop the Trump crimes now! Those who argue we should give him a chance must now face the fact that he is already in violation of the Constitution and international treaties, which are the law of the land.
Lawlessness is the signature of tyranny, and it arises when leaders rule without consent and without obeying the system of rules by which all republics are governed.
