#Trump lawyers have *determined* [made up from whole cloth] that an 18th-cent wartime #law Trump invoked to deport *suspected* [presumed] members of a Venezuelan gang allows federal agents to enter homes WITHOUT A WARRANT….
The disclosure reflects the Trump admin’s aggressive view of #PresidentialPower, including setting aside a key provision of the #FourthAmendment that requires a #CourtOrder to search someone’s home.
A behind-the-scenes legal effort to force #Congress to call a convention to amend the #Constitution could end up helping #Trump …expand #PresidentialPower.
While the convention effort is focused on the national debt, #legal experts say it could open the door to other changes, such as limiting who can be a US citizen, allowing POTUS to overrule Congress’ spending decisions or even making it legal for Trump to run for a 3rd term.
